Please get over Red John. The Red John era is done, and is never coming back.
As far as Brett Partridge goes, the only reason most people think he is Red John is because he had a strange voice similar to the voice RJ used on the telephone and when he saved Jane's life. Partridge was a red herring at best.
Some people love how Red John was revealed, some hate it. Either way, there will be critics. Bruno Heller and the show made it very clear in the episode "Red John", who Red John is. If you cannot accept it, then that is your problem.
It's almost everyone expected Red John to be this invincible demon with horns and flames shooting from his mouth. He wasn't. After all the murders he did or had done, it turned out he was somewhat a coward. Heller even made it clear long before the reveal that Red John is just a normal man.
Heller dropped so many obvious hints who Red John was at the beginning of season 6. The boots Mcallister wore was one of the biggest hint.
Yes, I know they had no idea who RJ was when they shot the episode where RJ saved Jane's life from the copycats, but they knew everyone would remember the boots (so they thought). But instead, everyone tried playing detective by studying Red John's voice. If you say different -YOU'RE LYING!
Heller also threw out there when MacAllister talked about hunting anything with a 'face'. Another hint was when MacAllister did not want to climb the ladder BUT pointed out he had pointed boots on. Everyone thought he was scared of heights, then a few scenes later, he was on top of the church roof.
What did they show again?? THE BOOTS!
Bruno Heller also warned everyone! "You will be disappointed when Red John is revealed".
Get over the Red John era. He is dead, finished and that is that.
If you cannot accept that then you're in total denial...over a fucking tv show!!!!!!!
It's like you guys think the shit is real. IT's NOT!!
