History YMMV / RedVsBlueTheProjectFreelancerSaga

* JerkassWoobie: Church's memory of Simmons is slowly turning into this, [[UpToEleven having more emotional hang ups and inferiority complex issues than the real Simmons.]]

** Speaking of Episode 18, Caboose shows himself to be a ShipperOnDeck for Wash/Carolina in this episode despite all of their interactions prior to this point being [[VitriolicBestBuds rather acrimonious and at best platonic]]. Starting roughly five seasons later in ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheShisnoTrilogy The Shisno Trilogy]]'', Wash/Carolina received a ''ton'' of ShipTease, to the point where Wash/Carolina became a FanPreferredCouple among the show's shippers.

* ItWasHisSled: Carolina is alive. This was a big twist at the end of the season, but right now her survival is so well known she is featured on box art.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: As of Episode 22, [[spoiler:the "Poor Florida" incident is cast in a much harsher light. It wasn't just a one-off joke, but rather Project Freelancer ([[AmbiguousSituation possibly]]) [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill destroying the entire state to justify]] [[UnPerson there not being an Agent Florida]]]].

* AbandonShipping: During Seasons 9 and 10, Agent Carolina had three major pairings associated with her: York/Carolina (which was somewhat canon), Director/Carolina, and Tex/Carolina. The last episode of Season 10 reveals [[spoiler:that the Director is her father, and thus Tex is an AI copy of her father's memory of her mother]]. A mass exodus from both those ships ensued.

--->'''Wash''': Come on, buddy, hang in there.

** The transition from the Epsilon capsule to the real world happens with a giant Caboose head showing up in the sky. Then when the series got a dedicated Website/YouTube channel, one of the post-episode bumpers is Caboose going "[[BreakingTheFourthWall OH MY GOD! A GIANT PERSON!]]"
** During the mission at the Cryogenics facility, North spots two heat sigs heading towards South, only for her to turn around and find it's just some guy carrying two coffee cups. Funny enough on its own, but then comes ''The Shisno Paradox''. Namely, when its revealed ''why'' he had those cups. [[spoiler:Because ''Caboose'' ran into him and asked for some coffee.]] Meaning the only reason he was even going there, the reason the entire fight happened in the first place, was because of [[spoiler:''[[SpannerInTheWorks Caboose]]''.]] It's even funnier when thinking of that guys perspective. He just runs into some [[spoiler:blue armored idiot]] asking for coffee, actually gets it for him, then finds a woman [[spoiler:in a similar suit of armor]] pointing a gun at him. One can only ''imagine'' how confused this chain of events made him.

-->'''Caboose''': I've been preparing for this role my whole life.

** Net Surfing guy from Episode 1 is pretty popular. Some parts of the fandom started shipping him with coffee guy from the last season not long after he first showed up.
** [[WordOfGod Burnie]] has stated that he started the season with York and Delta due to both being fan favorites, particularly Delta.
** The unnamed blue Freelancer[[spoiler:, better known as Agent Florida, or Captain Butch Flowers,]] who cameoed in the previous season shows up again with Wyoming. [[spoiler:He gets taken down by the leader of the Insurrection throwing an axe across a bunker in Episode 9, but gets up in Episode 10 and gets rid of the Twin Turret Soldiers.]]
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: As of Episode 22, [[spoiler:the "Poor Florida" incident is cast in a much harsher light. It wasn't just a one-off joke, but rather Project Freelancer ([[AmbiguousSituation Possibly]]) [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill destroyed the entire state to justify]] [[UnPerson there not being an Agent Florida]]]].

** A more fandom related one but Carolina's more popular ships involved her with Tex, York and the Director. [[spoiler:Carolina ends up being related to two out of the three of them.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: When seeing Theta for the first time, Wash comments on how small he is and wonders if that's as big as they come. Fast forward to Episode 18 where [[spoiler: Epsilon's hologram, his AI, grows to three times the size of the main cast]].

The last episode of Season 10 reveals [[spoiler:that the Director is her father, and thus Tex is an AI copy of her mother.]] A mass exodus from both those ships ensued.

[[folder: Season 9]]

* During Seasons 9 and 10 of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' Agent Carolina had three major pairings associated with her: York/Carolina (which was somewhat canon), Director/Carolina, and Tex/Carolina. The last episode of Season 10 reveals [[spoiler:that the Director is her father, and thus Tex is an AI copy of her mother.]] A mass exodus from both those ships ensued.

** In the fight against the Flame Soldier, Washington complains about the Fuel Rod Cannon's fire bouncing off the floor, even though it does no such thing in the actual Halo games. Then Halo 4 introduced the Scattershot, a gun that ''does'' bounce.

** In retrospect, the Blood Gulch plot has been criticised for being a screentime drag given how compressed 10 feels in comparrison. Church's adventures looking for Tex just aren't strong enough a plot to carry the entire season, leaving some fans wishing that they'd been relegated to a miniseries like ''Recovery One'' or ''Out of Mind'' while the machinima segments instead focused on Carolina working with the Reds and Blues to rescue Church.

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with [[spoiler: Epsilon 'forgetting' Tex at the end. At first it seems like Church has just been the victim of some grand cosmic joke, his sacrifice of essentially killing off Tex for good being almost immediately rendered pointless and unnecessary by the BGC's rescue. However, after Season 10 shows the horrific lengths the original Leonard Church goes to to cling to the memory of Allison/Tex, it becomes clear that Epsilon letting Tex go was very much the ''right'' thing to do.]]

* TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste: This season spends a lot of time throwing Mary Sue tropes at Tex and making them stick, [[spoiler:which could make it satisfying when Church [[KilledOffForReal forgets her from existence]].]]

* MagnificentBastard: Sigma, the embodiment of the Alpha's creativity and ambition and [[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeVillain the cause of almost every bad thing in the story]]]]. In his bid to reunite all the A.I's and [[spoiler: become Metastable]] he easily [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] [[TheCorrupter and corrupts]] ''everyone'' around him, turning TrueCompanions against each other and bringing about the collapse of Project Freelancer, [[CreepyAwesome all while being creepy as]] '''''[[CreepyAwesome hell]]'''''. While The Director started the situation by [[spoiler: torturing the Alpha]]. Sigma is the one who actually tips things over the edge. And the fans ''{{love|ToHate}}'' [[LoveToHate him for it]].

* RewatchBonus: The revelation that [[spoiler:Carolina is the Director's daughter]] suddenly causes their interactions to [[FridgeBrilliance make much more sense]] (that, or they become [[FridgeHorror much harsher]]).
