Did anyone catch what the crispy cop said at the end to Jane?

I missed last week's episode and feel like I've missed a huge chunk of something. Was last week's episode a Red John one?

I think he said 'Tiger Tiger' which I think is a reference to the end of the last season.

IAmRubyLennox · 10/12/2010 22:48

remind me about the end of last season?

Lucycat · 10/12/2010 22:55

Tis what Red John quoted to Jane last season- good stuff!

zisforzebra · 10/12/2010 23:12

Thanks Dutchmanswife

Oohh, I'd forgotten about the end of the last series. Is it my imagination or is Simon Baker just getting foxier as the series goes on? Grin

Ah is that the same as what Red John had said to Jane when he was tied up? Have been trying to work it out.

Do you know what it means?

twirlymum · 10/12/2010 23:38

Maybe it's

Tiger tiger, burning bright

It's a poem by Rudyard Kipling I think. I can't remember the rest Xmas Blush

IAmRubyLennox · 11/12/2010 11:38

it's William Blake:

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I remember the bit with Red John now but I don't know if there's a connection with the poem.

twirlymum · 11/12/2010 11:44

Oh yes, not Rudyard Kipling Xmas Blush

twirlymum · 11/12/2010 11:45

The guy was burning though?

IAmRubyLennox · 11/12/2010 13:44

oohh, yes, hadn't thought about that.

They assumed that he'd been set on fire by another cop as revenge for shooting the sheriff, didn't they?

So is there an implication that Red John is a cop, or am I really reading way too much into this?

TragicallyHip · 11/12/2010 14:52

Dh thinks Red John is a cop.

Could he have set himself alight?

It was definitely Tyger Tyger he said. Red John had read it out to Jane or maybe sent it to him, not sure. Apparently no one else should know about this too, so some people on the forum I was just reading are speculating that the cop was Red John but that would just be stupid really wouldn't it??!

diddl · 12/12/2010 08:54

Isn´t that what Red John said to Jane when he (Jane) was tied to the chair & some teenagers were going to kill him & film it.

zisforzebra · 12/12/2010 22:52

The crazy woman who was supposed to be Red John's girlfriend was poisoned in the same corridor while under police guard in the last series so tragicallyhip's DH may be onto something there.

Don´t remember that!

Trouble is, I´m just so busy drooling over watching Simon Baker that the plot tends to pass me byBlushGrin

IAmRubyLennox · 13/12/2010 14:35

I get slightly distracted by both SB and also by wondering whether I could wear slim fit jeans and blazers and look like Lisbon (without necessitating a full face & body transplant). Think the gun on the belt may be required to really complete the look, but I'm not sure how well it would be received on the playground.

diddl · 13/12/2010 17:59

Oh yes, I´m currently deciding whether or not to get a fringe like LisbonBlush

And I love Grace´s hair,and Rigsby isn´t bad eitherBlush

whatkungfuthat · 13/12/2010 20:46

I am still convinced that Red John is the old boss Minelli. RJ can seemingly get access to police buildings and computers and when that guy who was going to name RJ was killed back in the middle of the first series he wrote 'it was man' on the wall, which could mean he knew Minelli's name but not how to spell it. Also, the way he left was rubbish.

IAmRubyLennox · 13/12/2010 21:51

yes diddl, agree agree agree.

And whilst not hot like Rigsby, Cho has the greatest one-liners:

'We're the California Bureau of Investigation. Like the FB, only more conveniently located.'

Can't remember how Minelli left either. Seriously, do I really watch this programme? I think the fact it's on a Friday night and I'm normally on the outside of half a bottle of wine and a family bar of Galaxy is serving to erase my memory of most plotlines.

HowardsLongLostLove · 13/12/2010 21:58

I very much doubt that Minelli is Red John, he would still be in the series if that was the case.

Tbh if they ever catch Red John I don't think we will ever get to see who it is. Also Bruno Heller said he may never be caught.

HowardsLongLostLove · 13/12/2010 22:00

Yes Rigsby is lovely! He is married to Lucy Davis

Oblomov · 13/12/2010 22:21

Like diddl, I struggle to keep up with plot, becasue Simon Baker just gets better, and better, and better, and ......
