Red Vs Blue General Discussion

Well, everyone and their mother called these guys being evil, but that ending was still effectively chilling and creepy.

Also, Carolina and Washington potential romance? I'm ashamed to admit how much I want that.

Better/worse yet is that Caboose called it five seasons ago.

Episode 11 has been released to the public.

So of course the Blues and Reds made the Church recording. Also, I like how despite being evil, they still have goofy personalities.

Ep 11: "metafores", "shakespearean dialogue", "evil lairs for dummies", "how to villain"

Man, Temple really tries his hardest to be evil. Still, does that mean Church is kaput after all?

I'd assume so, Epsilon!Church is definitely dead and Alpha!Church took an EMP to the face. I'm guessing it was all a trap to lure out Carolina and Wash.

It's for the best really; Church (in whatever incarnation) is great, but they done enough with him. I kind of feel like Grif about his resurrections.

Though, now I'm thinking Temple also has some grudge against the Reds and Blues that's separate from his thing with the Freelancers so I wonder what that's about.

The moment when you have a first membership and want to talk about an episode but isnt sure if any other tropers have one.... thank you rooster teeth... thank you for dividing the fandom into 2 castes thus creating feelings of resentment.

While I'm technically a double gold member, I understand your concerns with the separation bit. PM me if there's anything spoiler-y...

I'm also Double Gold, we can form our own little club here.

Just put the discussion in spoilers, its what they're for

Maybe put them inside folders as well just for those non-first people who have show spoilers enabled.

Ep. 12 is out to the public.

The Grif equivalent's name is Biff. He and Temple were friends and stuck in the same "You ever wonder why we're here?" stasis like Reds and Blues. Then, Biff plans to return home to his girlfriend via medical discharge - by having Temple shoot off his pinky finger.

But then The Freelancers came.

Biff's going to die, isn't he? Carolina is going to kill him.

I remember how we considered all the other simulations troopers to be cannon fodder. It seems that the assumption is biting us now.

Episode 13 has been released to the public.

Biff was just a written off casualty in Carolina and Tex's rivalry. And Freelancer just forgot about the team.

I'm thoroughly amused by Tex appearing again right on schedule without it looking forced. I'm even more amazed by how this season keeps on parodying itself and playing itself entirely seriously the whole way through.

Man, that episode was... well, I'm just going to go with "wonky" in terms of animation. The character models just seemed inconsistent in terms of whether they felt like they had any mass or not, and especially the whole incredibly light seeming flagpole having enough force to pin an armored adult to a wall was laughable.

Plus, Biff and Temple's involvement just seemed... forced. And given it was basically a Foregone Conclusion it just felt kinda... needless. But that's just me.

I'll give you the way he died not making since, but I can't really agree with it being needless. That we knew where they were going going with it doesn't mean they shouldn't show/give all the details about it.

Plus, a lot of people honesty didn't see the direction they were going, guessing things like Temple actually being Felix or something.

Bif's story was a bit too cliche for my tastes even though they were obviously going with that to lampshade it, but it gets the point across.

Episode 14 has been released to the public.

The zealots are back and are on the side of the Blues and Reds, Doc and Sarge make a Face–Heel Turn, and Lopez is a severed head again. A lot of stuff happened this episode.

I don't especially care for the Blues and Reds. Their whole thing got old some episodes ago. Bring back Spencer Porkinsenson.

Side note: Ohio, Idaho and Iowa will make a comeback

I find them pretty sympathetic.

Did anybody else think they had been seriously blasted into the future in Season 3 when they saw it?

Look, I was young when I saw it!

I believe most people still do, even though it's blatantly not the case.

I could buy it at the time, because that was the tone the show was going for, but as things got more and more serious, something like that stopped making since for the show. You know, when the show actually started trying to make sense and thus retconned away the most absurd things from the early seasons. Kudos to the writers for being able to do that so well, by the way.

I mean, that was from the seasons where an immobile bomb was able to lose weight by working out and Caboose's imagined version of Sister could be accidentally pulled out of his head. It's sort of a toss-up what the rules were back then, and things were prone to getting retconned even in those seasons.

I mean, Church got somehow blasted into the past. I mean, it had to have been the past. The graphics were so old! He even got a beard from waiting for so long!
