I have actually changed my mind.
Despite reading theories which have stated Michael Kirkland as RJ. I shook my head at these as I found them ridiculous. I am now actually starting to believe it is him.
Lets look at this with common sense, from a writers perspective.
1. You want to make Bob Kirkland hunt RJ. Whats the backstory? Now this could be anything. Like he killed his girlfriend, or something like that. But what have they come up with.
they came up with the idea of a TWIN who Bob 'thinks' RJ murdered.
Not only is that vague but it is pretty lame. I mean it is pretty poor explanation This HAS to be revisited in the next 2 episodes. There has to be more to it then that.
Now if you start looking at the clues, for what we know about RJ. I am pretty sure, all of them could be linked to a MK
1. He would have the link to Visualize
2. Height hair weight etc
3. He would have access to most things by impersonating his brother
4. We don't know what his voice is
5. Phobia's etc no idea.
Then all the clues with symmetry and poems etc. Twins
It didn't make sense the killing of Lennon. He would have been interrogated to find identity of RJ
This would be classed as a 'surprise' as we had never heard of Michael Kirkland before (fits with Robin Tunney quote)
The actor who gets to play RJ has said he thought he was a red herring. Bob Kirkland WAS definitely a red herring.
Michael Kirkland could easily blend into the background
Bret Styles would know him. Bret also laughed at Patricks suggestion that one of the five was RJ. To me this was telling he seemed very surprised by this.
I am not sure how I would feel about it. But it really can be twisted so it does make sense so I wouldn't be overly surprised if it turned out to be him.
