It was interesting that Sheriff McAllister targeted Van Pelt, who had red hair and was wearing a red dress, in 'Red Hair and Silver Tape'.

At first, I thought the drama itself was childish, with the smiley face and the clichéd mystical poetry. But it was Red John who was childish; he was a pathological psychopath who simply wanted to be seen as a figure to be feared. Initially, I wanted more scenes about his past after Patrick killed Red John. But just like Patrick didn’t ask about it, it didn’t matter at all. I couldn’t care less about the story of someone who killed a family. What happened in his past is utterly irrelevant. All that mattered was the burning desire for revenge. In the end, it wasn’t about torturing him or killing him in a formal setting, nor did it end with a smile after the kill. This is reality, and that was real. By deliberately portraying Red John as an ordinary serial killer, the sense of realism was heightened.
I always wondered one thing. If the smiley is made by Red John with the victim's blood, why is it always screaming red? I mean, it's supposed to dry at a certain point and become kind of maroon, especially the one in Jane's house. Or maybe RJ just added acrylic in the blood 🤭
I just find it confusing
We are watching all episodes from the series and just finished season three. Our obvious question is how did Timothy Carter know to be at the mall since only Jane, Cho and Rigsby knew about the location? Bertram was picked up by Jane and did not know where they we going. Your thoughts are welcomed. Apologize if this has been previously address as I just discovered this website and joined today.

<p>I'm confussed why McAllister is actually telling Jane that he regrets that he murdered his family. Throughout all the episodes, RJ didnt seem like the kind of person who regrets those things.
</p><p>Of course any normal person would say those things when he is himself about to be killed. But tbh, Red John is a soziopath, and even enjoys the game he is playing with Jane. Even giving him hints and actually meeting him in person and stuff. A person like that wouldnt say something like "regret" even if he's threatend I believe?!

Is Tommy Volker linked to Red John ? Is he a member of the Blake Association?

<p>I am sure Kristina was an accomplice of Red John. Aprart from obviosu hints like her red hair, there is one damning clue: when Jane and Kristina go on their *date*, Kristina does a ocld reading on the waiter, saying 'roll-tide' to him. Later, when Red John 'saves' Jane from the imitator-kids, he whispers to him in his ear: Kristina says hi... roll-tide.
</p><p>This is a clear confession that Kristina's cold reading of the waiter was a set-up, the waiter is a Red John accomplice as well, and they set the whole thing up to confound Jane.
</p><p>Kristina's last use to Red John and her ultimate sacrifice is to be used and abused by him so as to be transofmred into that catatonic wretch all the better to taunt Jane, who will thus never know she was herself a tool of RJ.

<p>Red John a.k.a Sheriff Mcallister may have predicted that Lorelei may reveal that he shaken hand with him(Jane) and Red Joh did his own research on the possible people with the same method as Jane's.This is just my theory.

<p>Bruno Heller didn't explain how it happened ,but Sherriff Thomas McAllister told jane before his death that he knew about the list by using his psychic power, but i think that it may be a good guessing or something like that.

Red John is a psychopath. He would never have admitted to remorse of any kind and certainly not to Jane. Nor would he have begged for his life. A most implausible and deflating end to this series. Feel cheated.

<p>According to E! Online, in the 14th episode of season 6, "Grey Water", we will see that <i>"even though Red John is dead, his presence won't be forgotten"</i>. Could this mean that The Blake Association was not defeated after the death of Red John or that some of its members are still at large and might want to take revenge on Jane (at Moriarty/Moran style)?

<p>Baker says so in his interview with TV Guide.

<p>I personally do not think McAllister is Red John. It is too easy, and we are just mid-season. The clues don't exactly point to him. "RJ" is barely seen in the whole series, he is seen in the very beginning and almost never again.
</p><p>I would other people's comments/theories what have you =D

<p>I really think Red John is Cordero. Listen to the voice for next weeks episode. Also, as I've said several times in other discussion groups....in the episode with the blind girl and Jane at the morgue, they pass a janitor in a hallway, and the blind girl gets a chill. They aren't in the room where the bodies are yet, so the only reason could be that the janitor, who's back was to them , is Cordero, or Red John.

<p>I can't believe someone changed this Red John face to Gale Betram. I know tonight's episode said that, but anyone who watches this show should at least have a pause in their mind about him actually being RJ. Patrick Jane told the press Bertram is RJ, but that means nothing to me. Patrick says things like that all the time. It makes a much better story if next week's episode takes a total right turn, and RJ is someone else. I actually left this episode with the sense that <span style="line-height:20px;">Oscar Cordero is Red John. It fits very well to me except for the fact that his character was only introduced recently, but this can be fixed with flashbacks showing he was always around. The other thing is Cordero wasn't in Jane's list of suspects, but I don't rally think that matters, the writers want big twists and when they promised RJ was in that episode a few back with the 5 suspects shown ... Cordero WAS technically in that episode! Also, the RJ voice shown at tthe end of the episode as next week's episode doesn't sound at all like Bertram but </span><span style="line-height:20px;">Oscar Cordero's voice could totally sound like that if he purposely spoke higher and creepier. I realize it is convenient to change RJ's face to Bertram for now, but I'm thinking it will change to someone else next week. It may not be Cordero, but I am seriously doubting it is Bertram. Bertram has in recent weeks been the most popular fan pick so it would be amazing if they make you think it's him and then be like, "gotcha!" Any thoughts?</span>

<p>Even apart from the sheriff's hunting habit and his fear of pigeons are other clues pointing in McAllister's direction as RJ.
</p><p>1.We know he's a memver of the Tyger Tyger conspiracy. Yet on the church roof in Napa he chose to save Jane's life. Remember we know the members of Tyger Tyger were getting jittery of Jane. And so far there's been no suggestion that the conspiracy revolves exclusively around Red John. So logic dictates that, given even half a chance, a Tyger Tyger member would have eliminated Patrick. The sheriff could easily have shot Jane and put the blame on the failing light and the exigence of the situation. However he wouldn't do that if he were RJ. Or one of RJ's followers. However given his general persona I think turning him would be too much of an effort, one which I don't think RJ would make given that the sheriff is not that high up a figure in law enforcement.
</p><p>2.The way he spoke with Jane after saving him gives off vibes similar to the relationship we know RJ wants to have with Jane. The way he spoke, the way the shot was taken as he climbed to the roof (remember we almost saw him towering over the roof, silhoutted against the moonlight) and the way he walked over while Patrick scrambled to safety in front of him.
</p><p>3.We saw in an earlier episode (this is I think the good sheriff's first appearance) that he wasn't very suave with Grace Van Pelt. However Red John, we know, is extremely charming and can endear himself easily to the opposite sex. Secondly as the rough sheriff with a passion for hunting I hardly see him as someone who sips tea while listening to classical music. However we know Red John has that particular trait. This duality of personality could be what Sophie Miller sensed in Mr Jay Roth even as she admitted she couldn't adduce any actual behavioral evidence to back up her opinion.
</p><p>4.Among the remaining suspects on Jane's list Sheriff McAllister's perhaps the only one who practically would have the means to assume the role of our favourite serial killer (my heartfelt apologies, Dexter). Reede Smith, Gale Bertram (and even Bob Kirkland for that matter; perhaps not Brett Partidge) are all law enforcement figures who would have too public roles as members of law enforcement to have the time or means to prowl around. Brett Stiles and Ray Haffner too could perhaps fit these gaps .But Stiles we know is for one too old and secondly has found a new passion in his Visualize cult which I do not believe he would jeopardize by taunting Jane at the end of Season 5. Ray Haffner too was a member of law enforcement and more importantly he's attached with Visualize now. If Haffner were indeed Red John Brett Stiles would destroy him (and we can reasonably suppose Stiles could do so if he wished) because A.he wouldn't want him to endanger Visualize (we know Stiles goes to great lengths to protect his cult) and B.he would seethe at the idea of a possible dual power structure forming in his cult.
</p><p>5.Recollect his reaction at Jane's house. Jane had sweet-talked him into coming to his house, saying he needed his help to unearth Red John's identity. We know that Red John is getting nervous for some reason (as was amply shown as he engaged a PI to bug the CBI and then failed to completely kill her; he's too clever to simply assume Jane would be unable to squeeze some clue from her before she succumbed). Given that, when Jane asks him for help in taking down Red John (particularly after he saved Jane's like at Napa Valley and Jane was visibly thankful about it; he would be happy that his trick was working and that he had perhaps succeeded in at least partially drawing Jane's alliance) his reaction best fits Red John after Jane forces the suspects to reveal their shoulders at the point of a gun. Remember this is the first face-off between Red John and Patrick Jane in which Red John has no control and is completely unsure as to whether he's facing the guy whose family he killed or the mentalist pretending to be the guy whose family he killed. It stands to reason that he would be visibly afraid and try to save himself which he was (Remember Jane was pointing the gun at him). Otherwise we know Sheriff McAllister to be reasonably intelligent and he would immediately have pointed out that he wasn't the only one with a tattoo.
