ARGUMENTATION

So i just watched ep08 and i'm kind of disappointed.. especially because the german (i'm from Germany) voice of McAllister is so stupid. The voice makes him look so dumb.. you could compare it to the english voice of doofy from scary movie... omg >.< I guess I won't watch the german version of this season when it airs for the first time..

I know the real (english) voice of McAllister is not that stupid, but it sill bugs me that he is RJ. What's with all the clues we gathered troughout these 5 seasons? He doens't fit most of them at all.. and if they come up with something like "uhh.. yeah mr/mrs XXX lied, he/she was told by RJ to give PJ some fake informations".. that's bs! RJ was supposed to be the napoleon of crime, the counterpart of Sherlock Holmes if you want! And then we get some crybaby that begs for mercy after he got disarmed by a freaking pigeon!!! A PIGEON!!! what the Hell(er)?! Where's the master of mind games? Where's the person who was ALWAYS one step ahead of PJ? Why do we get an episode called "Red John" where there's like "30min driving around and catching up" bs-fillers and in the end we get a little 10min sequenz where RJ is unmasked, tricked and finally killed. Did we actually wait 6 years for an 10min ending of the RJ-arc?! Damn it.. the finale of season 3 was way more better. RJ as a new character that was played so well by Timothy Carter.

I guess Brett Patrigde was RJ in the beginning. But people started to find out and Heller was told to run the show for some more seasons. So he changed the character for RJ. But McAllister.. come on. He was the ultimate red herring.

There's still a little bit of hope that this thing could turn out like the season 3 finale. That McAllister is not RJ, but just pretended to be.. but I dont think that something like this would happen twice a series.. :(

There are still some questiones unanswered:
- Why doesn't McAllister care if Gale Bertram would be accused to be RJ? We learned in season 2 finale that he can't stand it when other people take credits for his work
- Why on earth did he lose to PJ (roc, papers, scissors)?. Don't tell me it was HIS mind game and he always knew what PJ was doing, so he always took the wrong decision on purpose..
- Why would women like Lorelei Martins fall for a man like him?.. come on..
- Where's the "He is Mar.." - connection?
- How did he find out the 7 names? (i guess this will be answered in the next episodes)

How do you find this theory?
