Nope, but plenty of people would have been surprised by his appearance in the final 7 suspects. It's the weirdo CSI bloke.

Or maybe I'm just jealous you worked it out and I didn't, so my comment was to troll you...

I'm giving no hints. I wouldn't spoil it for you :p

But as I was watching it I got the distinct impression, as is often the case, that the program is geared toward making you think it's any one of several people, and the writers didn't know who Red John was until it was time to reveal it. They could've picked pretty much any one of the people on Jane's list - and I wouldn't be surprised to hear early drafts had each of them as the killer before they settled on the one they did.
In such scenarios there's no point trying to guess who the killer is - as it's effectively pot luck and any suspect is as valid as the others. Tis human nature that we try to work it out, though, of course.

I just thought that bloke was a dodgy fucker the first time I saw him during the first series lol. It would make more sense to have it as him because he appears once or twice every series, and has the front of appearing to be a bit of a Muppet, but not appearing so often that the average person is going to be surprised by him being Red John.

Not too impressed with series 6 so far. Would have been better off with him killing Red John and getting locked up imo. The programme has taken a major step downwards since he started working for the FBI. :(

Wasn't too sure whether to post my latest t-shirt I've ordered from Tee-Fury in this section or the Music section lol. I bought the Pink Floyd t-shirt that this is based on in Canterbury in 1988 8) ;D

Very clever design! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Look out for Backstrom. Very amusing so far.

Thought I'd watch Prison Break for the second time. Can't believe it's been 10 years since it first started :o

He's just lost his toes again, love it! ;D

Have just started watching the third series of Suspects, a cop show on Channel 5 and it's excellent. It solves the biggest problem I have with cop shows - you hardly ever have the Old Bill swearing. In Suspects there's effing and blinding all over the place. Much more realistic. 8)

Have been watching 2 Netflix Original series, Daredevil and Better Call Saul. Both are excellent. Daredevil seems close to the comic books as far as I remember and the fight scenes are fantastic, some great stunt work that's aided by a little CGI here and there by the looks of it.

Better Call Saul is excellent, it's basically how Jimmy McGill became Saul Goodman. It also has the guy from Breaking Bad that's the hired muscle that did the drug and cash runs in Breaking Bad, forgotten his name now. Guy with gray hair and a beard. Turns out that before he worked for the druglord at Pollo Chicken he used to work in the payment desk in the court's car park. ;D
