Who is Red John?
Nov 25 2011, 5:03 PM EST
This is the first time i have contributed to this discussion but I think there are many theories which have developed through the seasons and reflect characteristics which may define 'who' or 'what' Red John is.Personally I do think Red John is just one person, although the theory of Red John being the name for some kind of wider society is interesting, this would make sense considering the responsive nature where Red John seems to know everything and react to anything as if he/she has eyes and ears everywhere as well as always being two or three steps ahead of Jane (thinking of the final ep of season three here). However i think it would make sense that if Red John was a single person he/she is a manipulator, much like jane except more devious, this would explain how many of the 'normal' characters which have appeared in the show turn out to be serial killers/psychodelic in nautre. One thing that bothers me is who or how many people within the CBI have some kind of relationship with Red John. LaRoche is leaving the CBI rather quickly since Jane said he 'knew' LaRoches secret, although I doubt this has anything to do with Red John. I do however feel there is a strong connection between Red John and Bertram, if anything though I do think he is just another 'tool'. What is most important though is how was Red John able to be so many steps ahead of Jane in the series 3 finale? Not only did Red John have Jane fooled but he also had another plan whereby Jane could find someone who imposed as Red John, but on top of that have the resources available to have the scene cleared up imediately after. Just a few thoughts to add to the discussion. To be honest if the identity of Red John is not revealed by the end of season four then I don't think it ever will be. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?
