Killing Red John,
without killing Red John.
In order to answer the
question who is Red John the definition of who or what Red John is
vital.
Patrick Janes quest has
been one of personal revenge for the murder of his wife and child. To
him Red John is first and foremost the killer of his family.
I believe PJ has succeeded
in his quest by killing Sheriff McAllister.
To the common viewers
definition of Red John is much wider. Red John is the killer of many
people, he has superior intellect and ability to manipulate people
and has been ahead of Patrick for 5 seasons now. There are various
accomplices and clues given to his physical appearance as well as to
his psychology.
Now I don't think a Red
John fitting that description has been found. And maybe he will never
be simply because the concept is flawed by false assumptions.
Many people have argued
that the choice of McAllister was just random and that Heller didn't
have a plan and made everything up as he went along.
I am trying to show
connections that suggest the opposite.
There has been an ongoing
theme of twins throughout the show. Maya the victim of season 1 was a
twin, there were the twin horses Castor's Folly and Pollocks Dream
and many more.
Thomas is of Aramaic
origin and literally means twin.
The twin theme has been
reinforced with by the blake poem in S02E23. The poem also introduced
the theme of trinity (Creator, Tyger, Lamb).
McAllister was introduced
in S01E02. In that episode the male murderer was called
Malcolm. The actor playing Bret Stiles is called Malcolm
McDowell.
Bret Stiles was introduced
in S02E20. The victim in
that episode was called Xander
Harrington. The actor playing McAllister
is called Xander Berkeley.
The
victim was killed by his father
Alex Herrington,
because he thought Xander
had betrayed him. In the end we learn that it was in fact Xanders
brother Ed' or Edward
Harrington who betrayed his father.
Alex
was the name of the character McDowell played in Clockwork Orange,
that ultimately made his career. Also if u combine Alex
and Xander you
basically get Alexander.
Now
the actor playing Ray Haffner is commonly referred to as Reed
Diamond, but his full name is Reed Edward
Diamond.
In the beginning of S02E23
Patrick is on a date with
Kristina Freye. Out of the blue she starts channeling the mother of
the waiter. The name of the mother is Janis. Janis
is a variation of the name Jane.
The
Roll tide
reference is linked to an Uncle Ed' Edward
the brother of the mother, who supposedly played tight end for the
Alabama
Crimson
Tide
in the 60's.
The
football stats reveal there is nobody by the name of Edward
that played this position for the Crimson
Tide
in that period.
The
name Edward is used only 3 times over the course of the show:
S02E20
Edward Harrington
S02E23
Uncle Edward
S04E05
Edward Fisher (the drug addict gardener)
In
an interview Heller referred to the Partridge death scene in
season six. He said there was a cryptic clue inserted that would only
make sense once all was revealed.
Now
I believe this clue is the number 666 as well as the devils pentagram
on the door. I see that clue not pointing at some random satanic cult
but at the beast 666:
Aleister Crowley!
Spoken
out loud Allister and Aleister sound vitually identical. The Red Barn
is often called Elliston farm because she is supposed
to be located in Elliston, CA. There is no such place. Spoken out
loud Elliston is very close to Allister/Aleister. The Sheriff Bret
Stiles used to cover up the Farragut death: Sheriff Elliot Ellswood.
Aleister
is a
name
Crowley gave himself. His birthname was Edward
Alexander
Crowley! He called himself a black magician. William Blake is one of
the Saints in O.T.O (Ordo
Templi Orientis)
in which Crowley was heavily involved.

use a Lamen that looks like that:

You
can see the eye as the symbol of visualize, the bird that have been
popping up everywhere lately and the cross that Lisbon is constantly
wearing.
For
a short explanation what a lame is:
