** That's not even getting into what it must be like for the person being possessed. While it was PlayedForLaughs, it's been well established in Canon that O'malley's hosts are sometimes fully aware when he's possessing them. Which means you could be forced to watch while your own hands are used to brutally murder everyone you care about. Which means it must've downright horrible for Doc. Again, PlayedForLaughs, but Doc is a very gentle and caring person who abhores fighting. And he was forced to go after and attempt to kill the very people whom he was sent to help.

* Episode 5 has a disturbing moment in hindsight. Felix is flirting with a female medic before nonchalantly knocking out an attacking Tucker. While this is funny the first time through, [[spoiler: if you consider the fact that Felix is secretly trying to eliminate all inhabitants of Chorus, it becomes horrifying. Felix knows perfectly well that he is trying to cause this girl’s death, one way or another, and yet here he is trying to seduce her. It really shows how empty he is and how little other people mean to him. While we obviously end up learning how much of a sociopathic monster he is, this moment portrays it with pretty uncomfortable realism.]]

* There's just something unsettling in [[spoiler: Felix]]'s voice when he reveals his scheme to the guys. Maybe it's the lack of tone change, or the way he seems to want each word to hurt them a little more than the last, or maybe it's just that even though he doesn't sound very different, there's an edge of madness and loathing in his voice when he tells the [[spoiler: Reds and Blues he's been playing them this whole time]] that makes your skin crawl.

* Epsilon has managed to access all the shards (save Tex). The good news is that [[TheSpock Delta]] and [[ChildrenAreInnocent Theta]] are back, but the bad news is that [[AxeCrazy Omega]] and [[AmbitionIsEvil Sigma]] are there, waiting in the wings. Omega even gets up close to Epsilon's virtual face, letting him know that he's waiting for when Epsilon needs to rely on them when he needs to.

* As of season 10 episode 5 we have Theta, who appears to represent Alpha's childish portion of his personality. Wasn't there an awfully chilling CreepyChild communicating through the Meta in Reconstruction?

** What's more, Season 15 delves fully into the implications: [[spoiler: In the past, Carolina and Tex killed Biff by accident. The Blues and Reds were completely mortified by this, but neither of the Freelancers showed even a hint of remorse. They were trained to see sim troopers as expendable to the point that murdering one didn't even faze them.]]

* The time-travel scenario from season 3 is the crowning HarsherInHindsight moment in all of Blood Gulch Chronicles. Church goes back in time in an attempt to repair the previous events, only to cause said events, and fail over and over and over again. At its time, it's treated as a long string of CMOF, and BlackComedy at worst. Then comes Season 10, [[spoiler:and this scene is retconned as Alpha undergoing even further MindRape, just because Gamma found it funny.]]

** The scariest part of the Meta is that, of all the major villains in the show, it was never beaten without the BGC losing someone in the process. Wyoming, CT, the Director, and even Charon's elite mercs from seasons 9-13? Everyone got out okay. In Reconstruction, where the Meta debuted? They lost [[spoiler:the original versions of Church, the Alpha-Fragments, and Tex. In Revelations, they ultimately lost Epsilon-Tex]].

* We find out that [[spoiler:Tex's]] damaged visor in Revelation's initial poster isn't from a headshot wound... [[spoiler: it's because the Meta jammed the proboscis on the Recovery Unit straight through her face. The way she twitches as he's digging it into her skull doesn't help either.]] Just imagine watching that scene if you didn't know [[spoiler:Tex is an AI in a robot body--and there's nothing in the couple of episodes leading up to that explaining this if you haven't been following the story]].

* During the fight in Episode 10 of Season 9 [[spoiler: Wyoming and Maine replace their paint rounds with live ammunition and try to kill Tex.]] Just the way they start walking and firing so casually is terrifying. Worst part is that the Director ''praised'' them for doing so. [[FridgeHorror Which means you can flat-out murder your own teammate]] [[KarmaHoudini and receive no punishment for it]].

* " We are [[spoiler:[[WhamLine The Meta]]]]. And [[ParanoiaFuel we will find you]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8tkiUJQNmo Very soon]]." Gah, just [[spoiler: Sigma]]'s [[PsychoticSmirk Psychotic Smirk]] in that part.

* Tex ''killing'' [[spoiler:CT in episode 10 by throwing ''an axe'' at her chest. It's the first, clear-cut time that we've seen just how fucking brutal she is]]. It's hard to view her in the same light after that.

* [[ManipulativeBastard Gamma]] and [[TheCorrupter Sigma]] double-teaming Carolina as the ''scariest shoulder devils ever''. Gamma's mechanical voice is ''extremely'' unsettling in this scene. In fact, looking at this scene, it seems that the two AI double teamed her to figure out [[spoiler:the best candidate to house them so they could merge with the other AI. At this point, it seems that the Director might not have been aware of this.]]
** An absolutely horrific one revealed in the same episode but that literally spans the entire story line: [[spoiler:It's all Carolina's fault.]] She gave up [[spoiler: Sigma so that Maine could communicate thereby dooming him to become Sigma's puppet]], and now she essentially [[spoiler:robbed South of an AI and Wash of a sane AI.]] If she hadn't done this [[spoiler: North (all the Freelancers, actually) would be alive, and Wash would never have suffered the Epsilon Incident. Of course, it's pretty much Sigma's fault for the most part, but her hubris led to, in the least, the fall of everyone except Maine.]] Granted, [[spoiler: there's no way of knowing if Carolina wouldn't have done the same thing Maine did if she had kept Sigma. Also, given the nature of Epsilon, it would've undoubtedly done the same thing to whoever it got installed into as it did for Washington.]]

* Picture what you will, what it's like to be like Maine. First you lose all ability to communicate, then you are given an AI and are told it will help you communicate. But as time goes on the AI starts to take over, you start blacking out on periods of time (i.e., the locker room issue mentioned above) and eventually you lose control completely. The AI forces you to [[spoiler:[[FightingYourFriend kill everyone on your team]] and take their AIs]]. And that's not even getting started on the voices you keep hearing. Even after Sigma and the other AIs were killed by the emp, Maine was driven irrevocably insane by Sigma's influence. Maine continued to act as the Meta after Sigma was destroyed by the EMP blast, but contrast his actions prior to receiving Sigma (which included TakingTheBullet for Carolina and an implied friendship with Washington), with his actions after Sigma.

** When the Counselor offers to tranquilize Carolina, the Director coldly refuses and leaves her to scream her brains out. Of all the moments that get put in a completely new light by TheReveal, this is easily the most monstrous. [[spoiler:Immediately after being so terrified that he cried out the name of his wife, the Director completely ignores the suffering of his daughter and refuses to help her.]]
** We see the sarcophagus from season nine again. [[spoiler:It reacts to whatever the Director caused when he called Tex's name with snarling and growls.]]

* In episode 16 of season 10, we finally see [[spoiler:a scene of the Director, Counselor, Gamma, Sigma, and Omega [[MindRape torturing a new fragment, Epsilon, out of Alpha]]. It's exactly as horrible as it sounds.]] Not to mention it puts [[spoiler:the Time Travel aspect in a much harsher light.]]
** The contents of the sarcophagus. [[spoiler: Just judging from the Shadow, it looks to be a Covenant Engineer. [[ActualPacifist An Engineer itself]] [[NiceGuy is hardly terrifying]]. The fact that they're manipulating a benevolent alien creature that just wants to help others into assisting them into breaking down Alpha? And succeeding? Yeah, pretty unsettling.]]

** In addition, we learn how it is they increase the chance of the fragment bonding with their agent. [[spoiler:They create a scenario where that specific agent happened to die because of Alpha's failure. It's emotional torture, not physical. Over time, this severed various aspects, such as Theta, his trust and inner child.]]

* Kind of crosses between this and Awesome, but when Epsilon [[spoiler:finally learns where the Director is hidden, the way he changes from his AI to his ghost is... chilling.]]
-->'''Epsilon''': [[spoiler:Carolina. I know where to find the Director.]]\\
'''Carolina:''' [[spoiler:What? How?]]\\
'''Epsilon:''' [[spoiler:I just remembered... everything.]]
** And then in the next episode, when he's ranting, he [[spoiler:grows into a giant deep-voiced avatar of glowing, bright red-orange sheer rage. Even Caboose backs away, [[TearJerker potentially broken in tears]], and is all, ScrewThisImOuttaHere]]. Becomes another TearJerker when he realizes what he's doing and shrinks all the way back down to his mobile avatar (and finally disappears).
* Episode 18 opens with [[spoiler: the Chairman discussing requests the Director made for training bases (presumably for the Red vs Blue war), while we see Maine, with the Meta symbol tattooed on the back of his head, sharpening the blade on his brute shot. When he puts his helmet on, his armor glows red and holographic fire ([[WreathedInFlames like Sigma wears]]) appears in the foreground.]]
** Wash and the twins talk about how [[spoiler:Tex went rogue, escaped and tried to steal Gamma. South also mentions that Tex supposedly tried to take his equipment too. Maine's gone; in his place is The Meta.]]

** Remember [[spoiler: Sigma's "We are the Meta" scene from the trailer]]? It's here again, only much, ''much'' worse.
** That little "ooh, feels good" shudder Maine does when he puts his helmet back on and [[spoiler:Carolina's AIs take hold]].
** Carolina, who's still utterly loyal to the Director, [[spoiler: finds herself forced to fight York, the person she cares most about. Who, in her eyes, betrayed her and all that she stands for. She then loses miserably to her life's greatest rival. Just as she's recovering from that, the nightmare known as the Meta ''rips out the AI chips from her head'' and throws her off a cliff.]] ''Damn.'' Listen to the music playing in that scene with [[spoiler: the Meta. It's a reprise of the music that played when he stabbed Tex.]]
** There's something very creepy about NiceGuy North [[spoiler:dropping the BigBrotherInstinct to take on his own sister,]] especially when his voice drops into its ConsummateProfessional mode right before he does so. BewareTheNiceOnes, indeed.
* Carolina and Church finally track down the Director's hiding place ... and find [[spoiler:about a hundred robots that look like Tex and ''sound like O'Malley'']]. Cue one of the biggest "Oh, ''[[OhCrap crap]]''"s of the entire series.
* A subtle but intense moment in episode 21 [[spoiler: Church contacts the new Tex AI and the scene mirrors the one in episode 19. It's an incredible TearJerker, but then you realize that the Director has been subjecting ''Allison'', the woman he loved more than anyone else in the world, to the same tortures he subjected Alpha to.]] ''What in hell is WRONG with that man?!''

** How about the fact that [[spoiler: kind, affable Captain Butch Flowers was not only a Freelancer, but he was so trusted by the Counselor that they chose to have him watch over the Alpha? That he knew that Church was an AI the whole time? Granted, when given the assignment, he still seemed to be characteristically overnice, but at the same time... he ''knew what was going on in Blood Gulch from the start''.]] [[spoiler: Made even more scarier in hindsight when we see what Captain Butch Flowers was ''truly'' like, as shown off in the prequel episodes of Season 14.]]
* It's been mentioned a few times, but picture this (largely involves CerebusRetcon on Gamma). You find yourself isolated from all your friends after you're all almost killed by a psychopathic AI and his [[TheDragon Freelancer for hire]]... only to be deceived and lied to, and find yourself living your own life all over again, trying to correct your failings but causing them indirectly again. Why is this not in TearJerker? [[spoiler:You're being emotionally and mentally tortured, despite the fact that your torturer has no need to do so. Oh, and all that time travel? Just your mind undergoing further MindRape because [[ItAmusedMe Gamma finds it funny.]]]][[note]]For the record, Flowers did have an aspirin overdose (if not just a coverup by Project Freelancer), and Yellow Church was due to the time dilation unit, and not Gamma's methods.[[/note]]

* Imagine, if you will, what it's like to be like Maine. First you lose all ability to communicate, then you are given an AI and are told it will help you communicate. But as time goes on the AI starts to take over, you start blacking out on periods of time (i.e., the locker room issue mentioned above) and eventually you lose control completely.

Maine continued to act as the Meta after Sigma was destroyed by the EMP blast, but contrast his actions prior to receiving Sigma (which included TakingTheBullet for Carolina and an implied friendship with Washington), with his actions after Sigma.

** When Tex kneels down, you can hear Omega urging her to kill Carolina ("end it ... you know you want to"). And Tex ''actually starts to reach out'' before pulling back. Where's [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles funny hammy O'Malley]] when you need him?

* A subtle but intense moment in episode 21 [[spoiler: Church contacts the new Tex AI and the scene mirrors the one in episode 19. It's an incredible TearJerker, but then you realize that the Director has been subjecting ''Allison'', the woman he loved more than anyone else in the world, to the same tortures he subjected Alpha to.]] ''What is WRONG with that man?!''

** And then in the next episode, when he's ranting, he [[spoiler:grows into a giant deep-voiced avatar of glowing, bright red-orange pure rage. Even Caboose backs away nervously and is all, ScrewThisImOuttaHere]]. Becomes a TearJerker when he realizes what he's doing and shrinks all the way back down to his mobile avatar (and finally disappears).

** When [[TheDitz Jax]], [[TooDumbtoLive thinking his backstory was just that, a story]], criticizes [[spoiler:[[BigBad Temple's]]]] use of the "girl back home" trope, the enraged SerialKiller caps the poor guy.

*** [[spoiler:They are '''very well-armed''' for simulation troopers. Surge has a powerful Railgun, plus Buckey and Temple both have sniper rifles and know how to use them (even Temple did manage to hit an aircraft's pilot section, though it took several attempts). They are also very efficient fighters, knowing the right weapons to use at the right time, and also proficient with their own weapons of choice. Loco is capable of building powerful equipment and explosives and sneaking past guards to plant said bombs. Hell, even the flag zealots are implied to be decent fighters.]]

*** [[spoiler: Doc and Sarge accept his offer.]]

* The Freelancer Program apparently obliterated a goddamn state to maintain the cover of one of their agents instead of faking his death. What the hell is wrong with these people?
** How about the fact that [[spoiler: kind, affable Captain Butch Flowers was not only a Freelancer, but he was so trusted by the Counselor that they chose to have him watch over the Alpha? That he knew that Church was an AI the whole time? Granted, when given the assignment, he still seemed to be characteristically overnice, but at the same time... he ''knew what was going on in Blood Gulch from the start''.]]

** Speaking of that, while Sarge's blue-hating tendencies are usually played for laughs, it comes off as VERY disturbing here. Lemons is screaming for help, and Sarge is accusing him of insubordination. He sounds absolutely ''furious'' at the idea there's a Blue who infiltrated the program, and you get to hear Lemons beg for his life as Sarge shoots him. It's extremely chilling to listen to and remember just what Sarge ''was'' before his CharacterDevelopment.

** Word choice, tone and [[spoiler: Felix]]'s first choice adds something chilling to this. [[spoiler: Felix wanted to annihilate this planet from space to kill off the people. The tone used to say this is almost as casual as Felix when talking to the Red and Blue teams before. When he brings up that conspicuous nuking would draw more attention than the settlers killing each other, he says it would be 'just a tragedy'. Just that casual tone and the 'just' to the tragedy of two sides on a planet killing each other brings to light how frightening [[TheSociopath Felix]] is when his sociopathy isn't played for laughs.]]

* The concept of the Purge system. So how do [[spoiler:Locus]] and [[spoiler:Felix]] split the prisoners who will join them from those who won't? [[spoiler:Felix]] tells them that if they fight against [[spoiler:the people of Chorus]], they will go free and be rich. Then he tells the prisoners who will join him to put their hands on the prison bars while those who won't will be let off the ship. [[spoiler:Felix then opens the air locks in the cells, [[ThrownOuttheairlock sucking all of those not grasping the bars out into space, along with some who tried, but weren't able to hang on.]]]] Well, that's a very horrifying yet awesome way to recruit prisoners.

* There is a temple on the planet that [[spoiler:will kill everyone on the planet with the turn of a key, '''precisely''' how the dreaded [[ItsTheonlywaytobesure Halo Arrays]] do, except in this instance it's limited to the planet itself. And now Sharkface and Felix are heading towards it]].

** The fight between Locus & [[spoiler: Felix]] vs Washington & Carolina is easily one of the most intense of the series, and while it has its funny moments, much of the violence is played brutally straight. It's one of the few fights in ''Red vs Blue'' where blood is visibly shed, when [[spoiler: Washington circumvents Locus' cloaking by splattering him with his own blood]]. Not to mention that when [[spoiler: Locus tackles Washington and tries to stab him in the face, the blade comes dangerously close to piercing his visor just like back when the Meta did the same to Tex.]]
** The aftermath of the fight: [[spoiler: Charon's space pirates have been all but wiped out, their command ship destroyed, and the Purge Temple demolished when said ship was rammed into it by a tractor beam... ''[[OhCrap but Felix and Locus are still alive,]]'' and neither of them has anything left to lose now. Remember when Malcom Hargrove threatened to send another operative wearing the fully-equipped Meta Armor to [[ImpliedDeathThreat finish the job]] if [[YouHaveFailedMe Locus and Felix failed?]] It just might have become open season on ''everyone'' on Chorus...]]

* The idea of simulation troopers is horrifying in itself. The UNSC takes all of the soldiers who aren't good enough to be out on the battlefield, and instead of sending them home, hands them off to Project Freelancer to use as expendable test dummies for trained SuperSoldiers to shoot at.

** Word choice, tone and [[spoiler: Felix]]'s first choice adds something chilling to this. [[spoiler: Felix wanted to nuke this planet from space to kill off the people. The tone used to say this is almost as casual as Felix when talking to the Red and Blue teams before. When he brings up that conspicuous nuking would draw more attention than the settlers killing each other, he says it would be 'just a tragedy'. Just that casual tone and the 'just' to the tragedy of two sides on a planet killing each other brings to light how frightening [[TheSociopath Felix]] is when his sociopathy isn't played for laughs.]]

* Episode 18 reveals the FridgeHorror-fueled end-game for [[spoiler:the Blues and Reds. Dylan finds out that Loco's machine is a mining drill powerful enough to drill through '''''the center of the Earth''''', and that Temple plans to use it to take out the UNSC headquarters from an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.]] Oh, and on a sidenote? The [[spoiler:power required for the drill to work is equivalent to a whole star]]... meaning that [[spoiler:the entire planet Earth is now at risk.]] Meditate on that and [[BringMyBrownPants wear brown pants]].

** [[spoiler:Hargrove has had enough of everyone's shit and pulls a LastVillainStand. Unlike Felix, who was so broken that he became ineffective, the Chairman is not fucking around. He drops a crap ton of Mantises on the planet that proceed to go on a rampage of slaughter that nearly manages to wipe out the entire Chorus army. The Mantises even go after the Space Pirates. Hargrove nearly undoes all of the hard work that the Bloodgulch Crew put into making sure that these people survived.]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Temple:''' I killed them. I. '''MURDERED'''. Them. I set my vengeance free upon them and it felt ''''so-hoho good!''' But not as half as good as '''this''' feels.]]

* Those two Insurrectionist soldiers in episode nine. There's just something about eery about their happy/sad visors, emblems on their turret guns, the way they talk with giggles and weeps, and the creepy carnival music that kicks in when they appear. They die when Mysterious Blue Guy shoots a crane, causing them to fall over a railing and be killed by a giant crate. What's weird is when it lands, the blood splatters are yellow. Although it could easily be the paint cans they were using, the idea of it being AlienBlood is still a creepy thought. Even creepier? The people voicing them are Michael Jones of RageQuit and his wife (then girlfriend) Lindsay. They're both known for being nice people, the former's temper aside. Yet in this they're outright creepy.

* Imagine, if you will, what it's like to be Maine. First you lose all ability to communicate, then you are given an AI and are told it will help you communicate. But as time goes on the AI starts to take over, you start blacking out on periods of time (ie the locker room issue mentioned above) and eventually you lose control completely. The AI forces you to [[spoiler:[[FightingYourFriend kill everyone on your team]] and take their AIs]]. And that's not even getting started on the voices you keep hearing. Even after Sigma and the other AIs were killed by the emp, Maine was driven irrevocably insane by Sigma's influence. Maine continued to act as the Meta after Sigma was destroyed by the EMP blast, but contrast his actions prior to receiving Sigma (which included TakingTheBullet for Carolina and an implied friendship with Washington), with his actions after Sigma.

** Seeing the [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Heart of Gold]] under Church's usually gleefully {{Jerkass}} HatesEveryoneEqually exterior played for cold drama is a large chunk of the creepiness.

** Carolina, who's still utterly loyal to the Director, [[spoiler: finds herself forced to fight York, the person she cares most about. Who, in her eyes, betrayed her and all that she stands for. She then loses miserably to her life's greatest rival. Just as she's recovering from that, the nightmare known as the Meta ''rips out the AI chips from her head'' and throws her off a cliff.]] ''Damn.'' No wonder she hates the world and everything in it. Listen to the music playing in that scene with [[spoiler: the Meta. It's a reprise of the music that played when he stabbed Tex.]]

* Carolina and Church finally track down the Director's hiding place ... and find [[spoiler:about a hundred robots that look like Tex and ''sound like O'Malley'']]. Cue one of the biggest "Oh, ''[[BringMyBrownPants crap]]''"s of the entire series.

-->[[spoiler: '''Temple:''' I killed them. I. ''''MURDERED'''. Them. I set my vengeance free upon them and it felt ''''so-hoho good!''' But not as half as good as '''this''' feels.]]

* [[ManipulativeBastard Gamma]] and [[TheCorrupter Sigma]] double-teaming Carolina as the ''scariest shoulder angels ever''. Gamma's mechanical voice is ''extremely'' unsettling in this scene. In fact, looking at this scene, it seems that the two AI double teamed her to figure out [[spoiler:the best candidate to house them so they could merge with the other AI. At this point, it seems that the Director might not have been aware of this.]]

** Suddenly, [[spoiler:Carolina [[KickTheDog grabs Biff and uses him as a human shield]], with Temple ''desperately'' trying to stop the fighting by tackling Carolina, who throws Temple off of her, grabbing his pistol, and shoots Tex in the back while she's escaping with the blue flag. In response, Tex throws the flag at Carolina, who narrowly deflects it with her arm...causing it to ''[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice pin Biff to the wall through the midsection]]''. When Temple '''screams''' for a medic, Carolina just ''shoves'' Temple aside, making it clear that she doesn't give a ''damn'' about the Blues and Reds, before Tex knocks out Carolina to recover the flag. As Tex carelessly pulls the flag from Biff's torso, blood splatters onto Temple's armor in a manner hauntingly similar from the prologue, before Carolina and Tex depart, leaving Temple with a dying Biff, who bleeds out. Suddenly, it all makes sense as to why Temple is seeking bloody vengeance against the Freelancers/UNSC '''so badly'''. This casts a ''completely'' different context on his actions, and it's not hard to feel sorry for the man, let alone ponder [[FridgeHorror what manner of torment this has caused him]]]].

* The gang goes to a town that was slaughtered during the alien war. [[NothingisScarier It's empty and dead bodies, now skeletons, litter the town.]] There's also moments of ''very'' powerful tension.

* When [[spoiler:[[SerialKiller the Meta]] captures [[TheSpock Delta]], his other {{Artificial Intelligence}}s (at that point including [[TheCorrupter Sigma]], [[EvilGenius Gamma]], and [[AxCrazy Omega]]) greet him [[VoiceOfTheLegion more or less in unison]].]] The worst part is, the CreepyChild is ''[[TheCutie Theta]]''.
--> ''"[[CreepyChild Deellltaaa]]"''\\

* The story of how the A.Is were created. [[spoiler: The Alpha (AKA ''Church'') was tortured until it went insane and started developing split personalities.]]

** Suddenly, [[spoiler:Carolina [[KickTheDog grabs Biff and uses him as a human shield]], with Temple ''desperately'' trying to stop the fighting by tackling Carolina, who throws Temple off of her, grabbing his pistol, and shoots Tex in the back while she's escaping with the blue flag.

*** [[spoiler:Temple's sheer hatred and desire for vengeance against the Freelancers and the UNSC is no longer just the motivations of an insane killer. Most, if not all, of the surviving sim troopers share the same hatred and vengeance as he does...]]

*** [[spoiler: Just, the utter callousness the simulation troopers are treated with. These are human beings who signed on to fight in the military, do something good. So what if they were incompetent or bad in a fight? [[FateWorseThanDeath They do not deserve]] to be traded away like slaves, [[WhatMeasureIsAMook as if they were nothing]], to an organization that treats them like CannonFodder at worst, [[UnwittingTestSubject Guinea Pigs at best]].]] [[spoiler: The reveal in episode 14 that every single sim trooper has joined Temple's cause confirms that the hatred due to being treated in such manner is shared by all sim-troopers, and that they are willing to attack the UNSC to have revenge.]]

** The next episode shows more on the Labyrinth, and ooh boy. It reflects the negative emotions of those within, until self-destruction is the best choice. And every once in a while, it shows those trapped what they think they want in life, only to deconstruct [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor how they wouldn't be happy with that either]]. Wash sees everyone dying, Sarge can't live like a civilian ''or'' a soldier, Carolina sees her past self telling her she's become worthless, Grif endures a coach even more psychotic than Sarge... and while Lopez becoming human and speaking English is funny, him being shunned now that everyone understands him and eventually driven to throw himself off a cliff is a terrible sight. The Labyrinth is a place that not only creates your worst nightmares, but also destroys your greatest dreams.

---> '''Sister''': I shouldn't have done it...\\
'''Caboose''': Who's there?\\
'''Carolina''': No... no, I got rid of you!\\
'''Sarge''': Say what? Do what?\\

'''Tucker''': No, please...\\

* The end of Episode 6: [[WhamEpisode O'Malley is back...!]][[FromBadToWorse and now he has a way to travel through time.]] [[OhCrap Uh oh.]]
