I have been reading up on what the new season will be like and i have to say i am really excited .


Spoilers for the new season
Agents Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) and Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) are scheduled to make a midseason departure form the CBS show.

In the wake of their departure, two new FBI agents will arrive on the scene - Kim Fischer and Nick Abbott. TV Line claims Fischer is an intelligent 30-something former Dallas homicide detective while Abbott is a West Point graduate and war veteran with a short temper.

    boo hoo I'll miss them :cry:
    looks like they wanted more racial diversity (Rockmund Dunbar has been cast) + will a younger actress join the cast too?

    I saw that news last night . Also Red John is going to be unmasked before the end of the calendar year . So I guess the second part of the season will deal with Jane's future and what he will do next .

    Can't wait! :D About what is revealed in the last few seconds of that promo I have always thought that
    Lisbon was inevitably going to be captured/taken hostage by Red John at some point. I'm assuming this is purely a promo for the season premiere though so maybe that scene with Patrick on the phone will be a flashforward type thing? Seems a bit of a major plot point to shoehorn into just one episode. :confused:

    I was also surprised it has happened so soon as well .

    I think that's a good change for the show- new blood. I'd also like to see Patrick Jane and Lisbon get together and I'm ready to find out who Red John is.

    Interesting ...
    I hope they actually kill them both off. You could have a scenario where Jane tries another one of his over complicated schemes to trap Red John but it backfires and Rigsby and Lisbon both get killed. It could open up so many different potential plot threads that it could give the show a whole new edge.

    Lisbon is not being written out of the show , its Rigsby and Van Pelt :)

    I'm not so sure - apparently Robin Tunney was kept out of the loop about RJ being caught
    also RJ's capture will have a 'profound' impact on Jane-Lisbon's relationship according to a journo

    other info:
    one RJ suspect will be eliminated in the premiere episode
    s6 will have less stand alone episodes and more 'to be continued' for viewers :(

    That actually makes me happy. I like the show and enjoy the 'case of the week' stuff, mainly down to Simon Baker I suppose, but to have an actual continuing story sounds very interesting.

    Also the show kicks off right where we left off so there won't be a months gap or 3 months from the last episode .

    I think the problem is, they've spent so long building up Red John to almost mythical proportions that any reveal is ultimately bound to fall flat - unless it's any of the CBI team.

    I think it's going to have to be one of the semi-regular characters for one thing - they can't afford to use someone from 'the shortlist' who's only appeared in one or two episodes.

    This is why ..
    I think the only way it works and has enough of an impact and shock factor is if it's Bertram and he kills Rigsby and Van Pelt. We could tease them being rescued but ultimately it fails and they both die. For me, that could work.

    Although since it's now in my mind, it probably won't if that's what happens :)

    I think it will Partridge as he was in the first episode but I would prefer Heffner as the guy playing him is a better actor .

    The only way that the Red John reveal will be shocking is if its definitely someone that the audience has known for a long time and possibly wouldn't have seen coming.

    What if Rigsby turns out to be RJ? (then again, probably not)

    I've always believed it to be someone on the CBI team. ESpecially Van Pelt.

    Can't be Van Pelt. There were Red John things happening during that 9 month period she was mysteriously stuck to her chair and nobody noticed she never came out and just got fatter.

    Mind you, unless she was sneaking out after they all left...

    the creator of the show has confirmed that RJ is one of the 7 suspects on Jane's list (no Rigsby or VPelt )

    so has the other male they have signed up , if they prove popular I think they will get more episodes


    Epipsdes 8 title has been announced
    "Red John" so that could be where we find out who he is or he is finally caught

    I used to think Grace was in league with Red John because she is a Red Head.

    Episode 8 is written by Bruno Heller so it seems likely.

    One more sleep! I can't wait, my joint favourite show is back!

    Question, is this series going to be purely Red John because I heard that there won't be a case of the week this series!?
