    I just wanted to say to all who think Jane to be red john he can't be.If you can recall in the episode when Darcy was made privy to the fact that Jane did not shoot red john, at the end of the episode, he gets a phone call from Rosalind in which we are give a glimpse of the man seated before her. He sat with the same mannerisms whilst drinking tea. it is ergo impossible for him to have been in two places at once. Red john is not Jane. Whilst i agree the voice in the car (the recording) was jane's it doesn't mean he is red john it is most probable to be but a ruse. For this to have been true he would have too deduced what his own responses would have been whilst recording the message, which is some what impossible just so those of you who believe it to be him are aware. Many think he has a split personality thus rendering him unable to fathom that he is one of the same. which makes him incapable of predicting his alter egos response. The voice in the car is most likely but a ruse by Hel

    Season 5 will start toward the end of September. Meanwhile we are getting reruns and it is great to watch them again and notice all the things missed the first time around and look for hints of plot twists to come. Can't wait for the Season 4 DVDs. There were so many excellent episodes! I watch the DVDs over again every so often and appreciate even more the quality of the writing and acting.

    No joke I am in love with this show. I find it funny how Jane and Lisbon always think they are right.
    Honestly, I think Bret Partridge is Red John. He always argues in a kind of way with Jane and in Red Sky in the Morning (s02e23)the voice of Red John sounds just like his. I've never really liked him, he seems too cocky for a forensics investigator. Love the show so muuch xxx

    when the season 5 coming up?

  5. Red John

    I am Red John!

    Ok. Two questions. First, who is Bill? the redheaded FBI called somebody named Bill when she discovered the body wasn't Rigsby, and said to swear out warrants on the CBI group. Is this Bill the insider that RJ got info from? Or was that a red herring, and the CBI boss who was in the back of the limo dead the real informant to RJ? Ok Three questions...that was the CBI boss in the back of the limo, right?

    I love this show. Glad to hear that it was renewed for next season. The cast has great chemistry and the plots are always interesting and fun to watch. I hope the new time slot does not hurt the ratings or make the show lose followers. However, it is a tricky thing changing a great show with a killer time slot. Time will tell...

    What if Red John is a girl?

    I have had a theory for some time that Red John does not exist. He's just an symbolic figurehead for a sort of cabal of serial killers - one of whom Jane has already killed. So all the Red John murders are actually committed by different members of the organizations upper-most members.

    this show is brilliantly developed

    The change to Sunday should not hurt the show. Most people are home Sunday evenings, whereas during the week there are usually meetings and activities to attend. I have had to miss a number of Thursday events so I could watch The Mentalist. Don't have to any more. Yay!
    I'm looking forward to the summer reruns because there were so many strongly dramatic episodes this season. It will be great being able to review them more carefully. Also looking forward to the DVDs, which probably won't be released until Season 5 starts.
    IMHO: RJ is someone who watches from a distance (from Visualize) and gets reports from minions. They are people able to see and hear what is going on and report to RJ. RJ is the mastermind of an operation hiding behind Visualize, who will be revealed at series end. I still think it's Christina Frye.

    This season started very well but couldn't reach the same dramatic levels of the previous one. Hope that schedule change will not affect audience.

  13. ken

    maybe rj is pj's father

  14. ken

    the writer iz jst playn mind games to see how the fans reacts nd that helps him to complet it nd rj iz jst an ordinary person in it

  15. Red One

    Cho, Rigsby or LIsbin could all be R.J. P.J. could be as well. But he wouldn't have needed to get the girl to seduce himself.

    As for the "new Boss" isn't that who was dead in the back of the limo ? I have always suspected him of being a R.J. Lacky.

    Red John is their new boss. What better way to stay on top of the hunt than to infiltrate CBI?

    Unless Red John is Patrick himself suffering a split personality...?

  17. shahu

  18. shahu

    People who don't like this show are probably not really watching it in any sense of paying attention to it. There is a lot of philosophical depth, moral ambiguities, complex character development, great writing and acting, and a plot that offers suspense and mystery. The Patrick Jane character is brilliantly developed. You can write an entire biography of him, including the rationale for his layered behavior - almost two personalities in one. He is definitely 3-dimensional. Try to do that with any other TV character. All are quite shallow, though well acted. You don't really know anything about what made them who they are. With Jane, there is a whole life history with understandable motivations. Best series I've ever watched, bar none!

  20. ...

    oh please,people are always complaining same for grey's anatomy. Stop watching if you don't like the show.It's really simple. I love this show and i hope sunday won't kill it. I want at least a season 6, a great conclusion for Red John and Jisbon.I think Simon Baker,all the cast deserve that .

    We all know PJ is not RJ but they vie for equal billing. Heller has promised to reveal the real RJ, but we will be disappinted that he is only an ordinary man who is truly charismatic and probably has the same skills as Patrick, getting real satisfaction in manipulating and turning people into disciples. The whole gravitas in this series is the good versus bad no longer in question but that bad is maybe good. Patrick is slowly becoming darker and darker as he realises this and RJ seems to want Patrick to join him in his quest which is the need to be the smartest man in the room.

    I once really looked forward to watching this show, but have grown seriously weary of the RJ schtick. Yes, PJ is an excellent actor that can bring out both light and dark but even that is wearing thin. The producers seem to have a death wish of their own with this show and are doing a great disservice to both the actors and the fans. The obnoxious little cretin they brought in as "the boss" could easily be RJ himself--he's certainly a sociopath. I may watch the first couple of episodes in the fall to see if they stay on this self-destructive theme. Most folks watch tv programs to be entertained--not depressed...we can get that watching the news.

    Can it be the blind woman, the former girlfriend of red john wHo is red john?

    Can it be the blind woman, the former girlfriend of red john?

  25. Fenn

    I know she is sitting in the car with grace but she could have get a replacement of pre-record her voice? Or even if she's not RJ, she could be his ultimate disciple? Heh
