Watch the last scene of the pilot episode  Patrick Jane laying under the Red John smiley face while the Red John theme music is playing  F@%#in Creepy  Has anyone else noticed everytime you hear Red John's voice it's really Patrick Jane's (just whispered and a little strained)   it can't be anyone on the show except Patrick Jane because we already suspect everyone on the show except the most obvious. . . Patrick Jane!!!  He's the only one even close to having Red John's skills      it's why Red John hasn't killed him   it's why Patrick can't catch Red John   there is more proof that Red John and Patrick Jane are the same person than anyone else      this whole list of 7 is another Timothy Carter    Reede, Bertram, and McAllister(and everyone else on the show in law enforcement) are part of this secret tyger tyger cop cult doing Red John's dirty work and survailance  Red John is heavily involved with Visulize and Bret Stiles  who is using thier power and influence through cop cult to aide and cover up Red John's crimes    why and how was Patrick Jane allowed onto the CBI in the first place?    Through Visulize he is using the cop cult to keep an eye on him when he is Patrick Jane       it will b a letdown if it is a random or obscure character  there will be no significance
