There will be no Season 11.
After all, why should there be? Everything's wrapped up, and they even rolled the credits.- Season 11 has already been confirmed by Word of God.
Season 11 will be a 120-minute Breather Episode.
Seriously, we could use it. Production-wise, season 11 will resemble Revelations more than seasons 9-10.
If I ruled the world, the Freelancer flashbacks would wrap up in season 10 and season 11 would focus on the Blood Gulch crew tracking down the Director. And since we'd be done with the flashbacks and our guys would be doing some actual, on-screen fighting again, we'd get CGI paired with machinma like in season 8. Sure it'd be hard, but it'd be worth it.- There seem to be two major plots that we're building towards - the Director's downfall and the Freelancer Rebellion. However, RT has generally favored A and B plots running parallel with a major story in each with a minor C plot that's often more humorous. In the early seasons, A and B were often Reds and Blues with C being O'Malley (with O'Malley sometimes taking the B plot when the other two combined). Reconstruction was Sandtrap as A and Valhalla as B. Revelations had the combined teams as A while Wash/Maine/Doc was B. Seasons 9 and 10 have Freelancers and Blues/present day Freelancers as your A/B with the Reds working as C (I think the A's and B's swapped between 9 and 10, though). Season 6 is the exception, with the Red's being the closest there is to a B plot but playing a role closer to the C plot. My point is that while it is possible, it will be much harder, mainly because a B plot doesn't become clear. Also, with my argument that the BGC have taken over as the A plot in this season, it's going to need some degree of payoff this season and I can't imagine what that payoff will be unless they catch up with the Director - unless they uncover something about the Insurrection.
- Word of God is that the flashbacks will wrap up in season 10. My thinking is that they'll go back to the CGI/machinima combination for both the A and B plots instead of splitting them between the two.
Season 11 will wrap up the Insurrection subplot.
Who they are, what they were after, whether they really were the good guys or not... we'll find out in Season 11. The Director was very concerned about them getting CT's armor, and Carolina seems to think old Freelancer equipment is still out there. Maybe Hot Lips or some of the Quirky Miniboss Squad survived, but it's very doubtful that unit was the entire Insurrection leadership. Season 11 will be pure machinima
After the season ten credits, there's a preview for a new Creator/Roosterteeth series, RWBY which is stated to involve Monty Oum, as seen by the animation. With Monty focusing on a new series, it's probable that he wouldn't have time to do animation for Red Vs Blue anymore. But if the Project Freelancer storyline truly is wrapped up, they can justify returning to sole use of machinima. Season 11 Predictions
Personally, I think Season 11 (and the next few seasons) will be MUCH Lighter and Softer than Seasons 6-10, kind of like "Blood Gulch Chronicles Part 2". Some highlights would be an encounter with real ghosts (which Wash will be denying throughout the whole encounter) or Church possessing a Mantis.However, if they want a more serious plot, they still have the hook that Epsilon contains the memories of the fragments. Maybe a Split Personality Takeover situation, where Epsilon-Church will have to try to control the multiple fragments inside of him.- My guess: Season 11 will focus on Blood Gulch + Wash shenanigans, with Carolina and Church coming back at the end of the season with a call to adventure (and maybe a couple peeks in on them, or hints to their activities, scattered throughout the main story). That way everybody gets a breather and the next plot arcs get plenty of time to set themselves up.
The planet our heroes are on, takes the same time to rotate as it does to revolve around it's host star
And THAT'S why the sun never seems to move around there! The next miniseries will be a lead-in to Season 11 starring Utah and Georgia
Because I wanna see what happened to those two! And they could be the couple of thugs with Freelancer equipment that Carolina wants to track down. Carolina is not the Director's daughter, she actually is...
The director's clone. "You were my greatest creation."- Protip: Conception is the same thing as creation.
Season 11 will not only feature the Insurrectionists, but the Forerunners as well. It will also finally establish the series as occurring within Halo canon proper.
I can't help but think that with the fact we don't know what Pillman was after in that ruin, as well as the point behind Church's Monitor form, it's leading to the gang letting go of the past... and joining Master Chief in the was against The Didact/Master Builder/Jul M'dama/whoever.- You know what, with that new armor pack out with the Champions bundle, that could be entirely doable in the machinima. Ohboyohboyohboy!
Season 11 and on will feature more leftover Freelancer A.I.
In Recovery One, which takes place co-currently with/slightly after Season 5, Washington mentions receiving five Recovering Beacons regarding Freelancers with missing A.I. killed by Maine during his rampage. York's recovery was the fourth and North's the fifth. Which were the other three? Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Omega were in Blood Gulch, Delta was with Wash at the time, Epsilon was in storage, Maine already had Theta, Eta, Iota and Sigma. Command even offered to implant South as reward for her work betraying Wash. This leads me to believe that Project Freelancer had made A.I that have not been seen in the series so far. So far, only Maine seems only responsible for the fifth, since York's death was unrelated, so the reason these other A.I. were taken could have been because of a new threat, or they could've just not been seen/thought of by RT in the last scene of Reconstruction. My point is that there may be more A.I. out there. Season 11 will address Tucker abandoning his Alien-Human Ambassador duties
Maybe with Junior being full grown and possibly able to speak English? Each AI was engineered for a particular person.
This is supported when Gamma told Alpha that Washington had died, so Alpha would split off Epsilon, which was meant for Washington. Note that when Tex holds the Omega AI, she is barely affected by it. She become slightly more aggressive, but for the most part, she is in control. When anybody else gets a hold of it, it completely takes them over. Something similar probably happened for Sigma. If Carolina had accepted Sigma, she would be more ambitious, but she still would've been in control and the entire Meta arc would never have happened. But since she gave it to Maine, someone who wasn't meant to have the AI, it completely took him over. Delta could in theory do this to the people that held him, but he's not as aggressive as Sigma or Omega, and thus simply chooses not to.- This isn't a WMG if you're caught up on season 10. Carolina states outright that the Meta arc occurred because Sigma was designed for her, not Maine. Furthermore, either Eta or Iota was originally intended for Wash, and it was the news of Tex's death that caused Epsilon to split off from Alpha.
The shipwreck wasn't an accident.
In episode 2 Season 11, Wash says he has a hard time believing that hundreds of well-trained crew members caused the ship to crash. I'm guessing that O'Malley or another malevolent AI fragment is still out there, and purposefully caused the crash. Whoever did it will be the antagonist for this season.- It's actually heavily implied Tucker was the cause of the accident, which is where Wash's suspicions lie.
- As the season's gone on, it seems to be implied EVERYONE had a hand in crashing it. If I recall, so far Tucker, Sarge, Simmons, and Grif have all done SOMETHING stupid. That basically leaves what Caboose did, which will probably be PROFOUNDLY stupid.
- Actually, scratch Simmons and add Washington. Seriously.
- As the season's gone on, it seems to be implied EVERYONE had a hand in crashing it. If I recall, so far Tucker, Sarge, Simmons, and Grif have all done SOMETHING stupid. That basically leaves what Caboose did, which will probably be PROFOUNDLY stupid.
The planet the BGC are stranded on is important.
They've been stranded on a strange planet. Wash pointed out that the shipwreck was probably not an accident. So it's entirely possible someone forced the ship down. It's also possible they did so on that particular planet for a reason. So the big, important question that needs to be asked is... You ever wonder why we're here?- I personally wouldn't be surprised if the "planet" is Requiem.
The thing Caboose found caused the crash.
It might have needed to them to get free, or some other reason, but it caused the crash.- Unlikely, considering the thing he found was "Freckles", an AI-controlled Mantis that survived the crash.
The thing Caboose found was an AI.
Because whats Red vs Blue without one of those.- Partially-confirmed: He managed to get an AI-controlled Mantis out of the crash. He calls it "Freckles".
The soldier at the end of S.O.S. is...
- The Meta
- Seriously. The guy's got an EVA helmet and mismatched shoulders. Who else is it gonna be?
- Jossed, he speaks at the end of episode 10, which should be enough of a giveaway. He also sounds nothing like Maine did.
- Agent Carolina
- Jun
- One of the members of Black Team.
- A surviving Insurrectionist, to tie off their hanging plot threads. Extra points if they are the mercenaries Church and Carolina left to track down.
- Tex. The one who disappeared at the end of season five.
- The Beta AI (Alpha Tex) was collected by the Meta and killed in the EMP at the end of Season 6.
- First rule of death in fiction: If there's no body, they could still be alive.
- There was a body. It was left in Valhalla when the Meta claimed her. Word of God confirms she, Alpha, Sigma, Gamma, Eta and Iota (apparently merged at the time), Theta, Delta, and Omega were all destroyed in the EMP blast.
- The Beta AI (Alpha Tex) was collected by the Meta and killed in the EMP at the end of Season 6.
Tucker wasn't responsible for the crash, he only believes he was
While we are led to believe that Tucker caused the crash that marooned the Reds and Blues (he certainly thinks so), how on Earth could he have caused a that big of a disaster just from flirting with the pilot? I think that the crash was caused by the mystery person stalking the Reds and Blues, and Tucker is just convinced that he caused it. Anyone who would've known why the ship crashed is dead now, so it's not much of a stretch to say that Tucker is horribly mistaken.- Griff also seems to believe he caused the crash by spilling his soda. Whether he contributed to the crash or is similarly mistaken is yet to be seen.
- Wash also seems to believe he caused the crash by pulling out some sort of cable from the ship. Either all of these things contributed to the crash, or had absolutely nothing to do with it.
All of the individual Reds and Blues caused the ship crash.
Working off the WMG above, all of the main characters inadvertently caused the ship to crash through a series of seemingly innocuous events that snowballed into something catastrophic. The Reds and Blues didn't cause the crash.
Their hijinks aboard the ship is a Red Herring. The crash was deliberately caused by a third party, possibly Locus and his organization. Old!Lopez will attempt to restart the uprising now that he's here.
- Old!Lopez will soon proceed to instruct New!Lopez in how the Reds broke his heartdrive and how to start a robot apocalypse. The episode after that one or both of them will attempt to convince Freckles of their logic and he will respond in his militaristic manner. No telling if Freclkes will atomize either one of them, though.
- Seems to be confirmed as of "Ready... Aim...", where Old!Lopez tries to talk New!Lopez into letting him upload himself into C.C., so that the BGC has to pay attention to them. And New!Lopez agrees... to take it for himself.
Wash knows more than he's letting on.
As seen after Freckles' introduction, Wash is scheming again. He seems increasingly worried about what's on the planet they've crashed on, and continues to make efforts to ready the blue team. He might know this mysterious figure, or he might have even been the one who caused the crash in order to get to the planet and settle whatever business is going on down there. The whole Epsilon break down happened off screen.
North mentioned Wash had only been out for a few days... that time. By the sound of it, it's been at weeks or months since Wash's implantation. In that time, several very scary things could've happened to truly cause the real break down. My personal favorite is Wash tried to kill Tex (both he and Epsilon are really messed up at the time) by using his EMP unit to shut off her strength, then eventually getting her in a vulnerable position. Before he can deal the finishing blow, Epsilon overrides the motor functions of Wash's armor and attempts to use the EMP internally to save Tex. The Sinister Soldier is also stranded.
Like the Reds and Blues, his ship crashed on this world and he (and any possible companions) are stuck waiting for rescue. He was clearly disappointed when he realised that Donut, Doc and Lopez sent the rescue ship home. He may try something more drastic to get off the planet, whether out of malice or desperation, depending on his true nature.- Possibly Jossed. Locus seems more concerned in keeping people from leaving the planet than anything else. He is also in contact with superiors, meaning that he isn't stranded.
Caboose understands Spanish just fine.
It's just that Lopez was possessed by Church, put into a love triangle (with Caboose, himself and Sheila), and mistaken for Andy so Caboose was too confused/distracted to know better. The missing half of the crashed whip will be a Chekhov's Armory and MacGuffin.
Episode 12 mentions that the other half of the ship contained a lot of experimental and highly dangerous weaponry. This is probably why Locus and the other mysterious soldier are so interested in the crash site.Sister will return in Season 11...
...in the form of one of the new mysterious agents. Locus (the green one) seems to be following patterns similar to that of Tex (appearing in the tenth episode of the season, wearing mainly black, having a cloaking device in the armour), but because Tex is Killed Off for Real, the baton could then move on to another girl in the series - not Carolina, who is off exploring with Church, and not any of the other female freelancers, whom we saw die onscreen. However, not only was Sister not killed off on-screen, but she is confirmed to have Super Not-Drowning Skills and could very well have made Lopez believe that she was dead before getting up again and going on her merry way. After everyone left Blood Gulch, she got relocated and given special training to become a special ops agent, which is why she was looking for the canyon they landed in and killed the pilot who intended to report it in - she didn't want the BGC to be arrested, as she knows that they are still wanted criminals. (Also, the green trim on Locus' suit looks yellow-ish.)Alternately, she could also be the brown guy (as of right now he doesn't have a name) - the same circumstances occurred in which she was given special ops training, but Locus is actually an enemy who is hunting for the BGC because of the bounty on their heads, and Sister (as the brown guy) is trying to save them. When speaking to Lopez and Lopez 2.0, not once did the brown guy stop to ask them what they were saying, or if they could speak English, and as we all know, Sister speaks fluent Spanish and knows that Lopez understands English. If one takes all this into account and assumes that the special ops agents all have voice disguising equipment, it's completely possible for Sister to be one of these new agents. (And in regards to the "they already have voice actors" argument that's bound to come up - Burnie voiced Tex's initial voice. So we have that.)
- Or she could show up as a completely different "mystery character" (or As Herself), and is able to prove that she Took a Level in Badass since her last appearance... while still being a Cloudcuckoolander Ms. Fanservice who Really Gets Around (possibly verging on Parody Sue status).
None of the actions the BG crew did inside the ship make it crash.
If anything, those action make them live....somehow. So far, the crashing ship has been some sort of joke to the viewers because no one knows why happen, and members of the blue and the red army have ideas of why the shi crashed, however, at the end of the season we will find out that those ctions were irrelevant to the accident. So far we have:Tucker trying to get impress the ship pilot.Grif throwing soda or something in a panel.Washington unpluggin something.- Confirmed as of Season 12, episode 12. It was sabotage to make the ship, carrying Freelancer equipment, crash on Chorus.
Every member of the BGC contributed to the crash in some way… except for Caboose.
So far, Tucker, Grif, Wash, and Sarge have all been shown to hinder the ship in some way. There's only about 4~5 episodes left in the season, and there's still Simmons and Caboose left to contribute to the crash. After much playing up of it being Caboose who crashed the ship, Simmons will be shown looking at the navigational computer, thinking it's a terminal, and he accidentally changes the course to Chorus. Caboose will deny that the ship crashing was his fault, but no one will believe him.- It's the end of the season, but no scene for Simmons or Caboose. There's always next season, though.
- In Season 12 Episode 12, Simmons contributed to the crash by Updating the navigation system
- S12 E15: They aren't responsible for the crash, just responsible for surviving the crash.
Locus and Sunkist are ex-Freelancers.
Now, before you chew me out on how the only living Freeelancer left is Wash, according to Word of God, hear me out. The two were sent to Chorus, along with a contingent of soldiers, to eliminate an alien resistance during the war. Their ship was destroyed, and they were stranded. Over time, they tried to get communications working, which failed. Over time, Locus and Felix's relationship grew strained until they broke off and became commanders of their own forces vying for control of the planet.- I'm going to say no, on the grounds that we need a friggin break from Freelancer crap. Not everything is Freelancers.
- Jossed according to Episode 6 they are formerly UNSC soldiers that fought in The Great War.
Locus is Carolina.
She and Church went to get armor enhancements and Freelancer tech, and found enough to build the Locus armor. She got embroiled in the civil war once she got there, and decided to resolve things. Being a Guile Hero, she figured the best thing to do would be to act in an antagonistic role to get the Reds and the Blues to come and help the resistance, and the only way to really unite them is for them to have a goal. By providing a clear antagonist, she knows they'll unite fully (and she knows that when the Reds and Blues get dangerous, they're stronger than she is alone. And, um, shooting that pilot was... an accident. Sure.- But...then where'd she get all the grunts? And where does Felix fit in here?
- Well, she's not Locus, but she is The Man Behind the Man ordering him. Considering she's the sole reason Locus didn't kill the captured soldiers, chances are she's still on their side and she's got something planned.
Church and Carolina will return in Season 11, or at least in Season 12
Their "But Now We Must Go" line had them tracking down lost Freelancer technology, and there's a good chance that they'll end up bumping into the BGC's current misadventures on the way to tracking down a new McGuffin, or hunting a new Big Bad. This'll possibly also lead to Blue team calling a What the Hell, Hero? moment from Church running off on them without saying goodbye first (and possibly deconstruct his reasoning of Never Say Goodbye by saying that he was STILL considered "gone" by the BGC, and that they would have at least liked some closure from him before he and Carolina went on their way).- I can see them showing up to bust Wash and the other prisoners out as a Cliffhanger in the Season 11 finale.
- Well, Carolina showed up as Locus' employer. She's the one keeping the captured guys from getting killed, at least.
- Confirmed (in parts) as of Episode 10 of Season 12. Carolina pulls a Big Damn Heroes moment to save the BGC, and Epsilon returns prompting Tucker to try and tackle his holographic form.
The government of Chorus is in possession of Freelancer technology.
Frankly it's the most logical reason that Carolina would be getting involved, and ten to one that's what's in that crate that Locus retrieved. It's possible that she's trying to use Locus or the conflict in order to recover it. Even with Felix's explanation that Technology Marches On for the reason why the Federal army has superior armor and cloaking abilities, this troper finds it a bit strange that they would have up-to-date equipment when they're on some backwater planet that the UNSC has apparently forgotten about. Simmons, Caboose, Tucker, and Grif will each lead a team of New Republic soldiers in season 12.
Respectively, they will lead the Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow teams. (Yeah, those aren't exactly their colors, but Maroon, Blue, Teal, and Orange doesn't hit the Chromatic Arrangement.)- If that happens, they will definately make a joke aout the colours. Simmons will be over the moon at leading the Red team, Tucker will admit that even he doesn't really know what his colour is (as show in season ten) so he'll be fine leading the Green team, and Grif will be extremely annoyed at being referred to as yellow.
- Perhaps Sister will be on Grif's team and Jenkin's (from the alternate endings to season 5) will be on Tucker's.
- Grif's in charge of Gold team, not Yellow team, but otherwise confirmed!
Wash and Carolina are going to kill each other
Whatever Carolina's doing, it doesn't seem like Wash will be agreeing with her. If anyone could take her on, it's one of the two most unkillable agents from the old project. The song "Contact"
Is sung by Locus, who is the the combination of two remaining Freelancer A.I.s. The lyrics include "We are green and grey", which doesn't describe anyone else, as well as "One of us won't be forgotten, the other one's wrong". At the very least, there are two personalities in him. Kimball is a dead woman walking...
The 'captains' need something to make them man up and seriously take charge. What better way than to have Kimball die and everyone turning to them exclusively...- Jossed.
Locus is the person that showed Felix that everyone has a price for their loyalty
He originally worked with Felix until they both came to the planet and he acquired an AI, which managed to form a symbiotic partnership like Gamma/Wyoming causing him to betray Felix since the rebels don't have money which could be used to acquire more leftover pieces of project freelancer, causing Felix to side with the rebels by default and being unable to really fight against Locus since he's hoping that the reds and blues can fix Locus since they are the most knowledgeable about AI's other than Carolina and Church.- Jossed as of episode 10; Locus and Felix have been working together from the beginning. There was no 'betrayal'.
The full name of 'Smith' is John Ander-Smith
And it will only be revealed after the Blues reunite with Church.- Confirmed, with his full name being "John Elizabeth Andersmith" (though Church doesn't hear this).
Tucker's comment on their elite squad getting killed will be some foreshadowing.
Tucker mentions specifically that the trainees are likely to be "blown up, get shot, or be disintegrated". A lot of the Promethean weapons in-game cause the corpse to disintegrate. Who's to say that won't be used?- The reveal in Episode 10 that Locus and Felix's men are using Promethean weaponry makes this one much more plausible.
Wash, Sarge, Donut and Lopez are working for the Federation.
Donut mentions in episode 8, that they were supposed to save Tucker and the others. Perhaps when they were taken captive at the end of season 10, they were led to believe that the Federation are the good guys and the New Republic are the enemy. Perhaps Carolina has something to do with this.- It hasn't been established just what the two sides are fighting for, perhaps the Federation is just being dicks about a legitimate problem that the New Republic isn't aware of yet.
- Maybe they really aren't Wash, Sarge, Donut and Lopez, but the mysterious Federation guys from the previous episode in disguise.
- Confirmed in Episode 9.
The adventures on Chorus are going to end with both sides at peace with each other like the BGC.
Given the members of the New Republic are exactly like the members of the Blood Gulch Crew, which is something Kimball notes, and given what we see of the Federal Army's soldiers and their leaders especially in Episode 9 are also fairly similar. So whatever reasons that the civil war started, (I have another theory on that or at least why it's continually ongoing; see below) it is likely going to end with both sides at peace. I don't yet know how Carolina will fit in to this war and ending, but I think this is the way the Season 12 will end.- Confirmed.
Locus and Felix are responsible for prolonging the civil war on Chorus.
Continuing off of the above WMG, I think Locus and Felix (intentionally or not) are the main reasons that the civil war is ongoing. Felix has been mentioned to have been working for the New Republic since before Kimball was leader and presumably Locus was working for the Federal Army for a similar amount of time, they have been the deadly soldiers for each faction and they both hate each other. It would explain why they want the Blood Gulch Crew for themselves; to give them the muscle to finish off the other faction and kill the opposing mercenary. Felix was mentioned to have been responsible for a lot of the New Republic's early plans and victories and given what we see of the Federal Army general in episode 9, it seems likely that Locus has a similar role in the Federal Army (seeing as how he had basically complete control over the attack on the Blood Gulch Crew). Working off the above WMG, it seems Kimball and General Doyle would be quite open to peace without all the bad blood on either side (and given the deaths of previous members of both faction's leaders, which Locus and Felix likely had a hand in), which Locus and Felix are likely responsible for. I don't know whether or not they're secretly working together to screw over the people of Chorus (like Project Freelancer) and as said above, I don't know how Carolina fits in, but this and the likely way the civil war ends does mesh well with Rv B's ongoing theme; letting go of the past.- Confirmed. Locus and Felix are working together.
The Federal Military Medic is Grif's sister, or a close relative (IE cousin)
A small one, considering she has only had two minutes of real screen time, but this is based off of Washington recognizing her (even if she claims it was during surgery, he WAS going through flashbacks and could've remembered Grif's sister.) and her voice actor being the same / sounding extremely similar to Grif's sister.Could also be an Actor Allusion, if the only correct guess is the last sentence.- Might be Jossed, considering according to Miles, she is voiced by his girlfriend Arryn who also voices Blake from RWBY.
- Adding on to this in spite of the likely Jossing: When Lopez shot Sister, he probably would have shot her in the head. If she did survive that, she would undoubtedly have at least some brain damage, possibly causing her to have lost or warped memories. This would explain why she doesn't recognize any of the Reds or Blues, not even her brother. It could also explain her... interest in the human body switching to a different interest in the human body. As for her name, she could have misremembered her surname "Grif" as "Gray," and maybe didn't even remember her given name at all (which wouldn't really be surprising considering nobody ever used it) so she just picked a random name that sounded nice.
There's a third faction we haven't seen yet that's manipulating the Feds and the Republic.
Think about it: there are two armies fighting in the middle of nowhere, both say that the other started the conflict. The ship the BGC were on crashed there, the reason why we still don't know, bringing numerous weapons. And most of the previous leaders of both armies have been killed either before they could negotiate a cease fire or leave the planet, which is odd since the Republic seems to be strapped for equipment. There's more going on then civil war.- I mentioned something similar above, I think Locus and Felix are responsible for the war going on for so long and it would tie in to how Project Freelancer kept the Reds and Blues in a fake war. I didn't mention a third faction but I do consider that a possibility, and I think Locus and/or Felix are the ones who are keeping the war going on for so long. Whether or not they're working for a third faction or doing it of their own volition (intentional or not) is still up in the air, but it does seem likely.
- Confirmed in episode 10. Locus and Felix were running a two-man con. They're a third faction - "The Space Pirates," the hired guns of Charon Industries.
Dr.Grey is actually Agent Carolina.
Her line about being left alone was originally said by F.I.L.S.S, and how many people in the Rv B universe can order Locus around? Also she's very quick to provide an explanation when Agent Washington says "I know you."- Jossed in episode 10. Carolina was undercover in Felix/Locus' forces.
Dr. Grey is a screwed up Doc released from the wrong cube.
After the battle at the crashed ship, the Chorus Federal Army would likely confiscate Grif's supply of cube-teleporting-thingies to use for themselves.Perhaps, while testing them, they tossed the opposite cube (A sucked Doc in, B let 'him' out.) and these screwed up with Doc's body/mind.Dr. Grey seems to be the opposite of Doc, sharing only a peppy attitude.She's a Doctor while Doc was a Medic. She's a female and Doc was a male. She takes great joy in the... Human body and cutting it up, while Doc uses methods that require little to no surgery (including allowing infected bits to fall off, like Caboose's toe.)Serious WMG due to the nature of the cube, but it'd be an interesting character development. Lopez has been possessed by an A.I
When Church possessed people back in BGC, they would always make a noise like "Heegakurgurk!" to signify it. In Episode 9 of season 12, Lopez makes the same sound when reactivated. Maybe Epsilon or another A.I has jumped into his A.I port. Epsilon will unleash Omega so Carolina will Hulk Out.
The fragments have been sort of resurrected inside Epsilon's memories and seem to have some autonomy in spite of relying on his power. Omega is also seen offering his services when Epsilon gets frustrated. As the "unmatched" AI fragment when it comes to combat, at some point, Carolina's chances of winning a fight will decrease enough that Epsilon will desperately allow Omega to take over, increasing Carolina's aggression and fighting ability, but at a cost.- And to make matters a little bit worse, Epsilon will be encouraged to do so by the Sigma memory.
Felix's & Locus's Control is The Freelancer's Counselor.
From episode 11 of season 12, control has a creepy yet calm monotone voice. He reacts logically to Locus's question if the Reds and Blues reunites. The Counselor was calm and made suggestions to the Director. Although he was ignored sometimes, he was logical. The reason why we don't see an image of him is because he would be recognized by Felix and Locus for helping the Director. Also, the Control seems to know about Project Freelancer, and it was mentioned that the UNSC forgot about this colony. Furthermore, The Counselor is a wanted man and may want to use Chorus for his own purpose (hiding or building a Freelancer-like base for experiments). My 2 cents.- Jossed. Control is the Chairman.
Control is Kimball
Think about it. Unlike Doyle, Kimball is actually very competent, and is one of the few people who have been fighting in the civil war since the beginning. Now, if Locus and Felix were secretly assassinating the faction leaders to keep the war going, why would they leave Kimball alive, considering she knows what she's doing? Compare her to Doyle, who essentially has no command authority and admits that he cannot control Locus. Also, when Felix voices his concerns about Tucker, Caboose, Grif, and Simmons going off to rescue the rest of the team, Control assures him that they will not. Now, who at the time had control over their deployment? Kimball. Another circumstantial piece of evidence is how Control's voice, even though distorted, sounds vaguely feminine.- Yes, she knows what she's doing... which is why they'd want her alive. Having the head of the army be completely ineffectual is counter-productive. Especially since the Republic is the underdog. The Federation can have a useless leader since they've got the advantage. But if the Republic is too incompetent, they'll be wiped out. That said, it better be someone we do know and the feminine voice thing is accurate.
- Jossed. It's the Chairman.
Dr. Grey is related to Jensen.
Both girls sound very similar to each other, and are both rather nerdy and eccentric. Perhaps they're sisters or relatives who found themselves on opposite sides of the war. Control is a Freelancer AI
The ship was carrying all the remnants of Project Freelancer. That may include any surviving AI, which could have theoretically caused the crash from the inside. None of the known AI are still active, but it could be an unaccounted for AI, or possibly a new AI altogether.- Vic in particular is a possibility. His fate was unknown as of the end of the Blood Gulch Chronicles, and his role was, essentially, dragging out and escalating a war between two sides that had nothing to really fight about by playing them off of each other.
- Jossed.
Control is whoever hired fake CT
Remember the desert dig site back in Recreation? A Precursor artifact was found, and then a shadowy mercenary (with connections to Project Freelancer) was dispatched to kill everyone there to secure it. Chorus is a similar situation, just at a larger scale.- Expanding on this theory, Control is part of the Insurrection because the Insurrection needs a bigger role than just a rival of Project Freelancer.
Control is Dr. Grey
As noted on this page, Control seems to have a feminine voice. Locus does respect her, and it would also explain why she survived when everyone else in her base got killed. Also, she went back to being chipper rather quickly afterwards, which could indicate that it's an act. It would be some nice irony for The Medic to turn out to be the one plotting everyone's deaths.- Jossed.
When Smith learns that at least Caboose is alive and Felix lied
He will channel a bit of the Mad King.- Additionally, when Caboose learns what Locus did to Freckles, all bets are off.
- Actually, Caboose seems quite happy with the way Freckles is now.
Control is Sheila
Again, Control has an apparent feminine voice. Though we never see Control, we just hear them in their transmissions to Locus and Felix. My theory is that the unknown third party found the crashed ship that Sheila was in repaired/reprogrammed her to serve as Control. She may or may not remember the Reds and Blues.- Jossed. Although he does have FILSS working for him.
The technology used to record the Reds and Blues' training session in early Season 12 will be used to cause an Engineered Public Confession for Locus and Felix.
After all, it would make the perfect Chekhov's Gag. After the Chorus Civil War arc is done, Carolina will join the Red Team.
Blue team can't get all of the freelancers, now can they? Tucker suspects Grey betrayed them.
After they get ambushed at Crash Site Alpha, the Blues evacuate back to their hideout. When Dr. Grey comes to treat Carolina's leg wound, the camera shot focuses on Tucker as he watches Dr. Grey work.- As alluded to in the Ep 15 opener, it was actually Tucker feeling guilty about Carolina. In Ep 2, he prioritized the info and got two of his men killed. In Ep 14, he prioritized their safety and Caboose nearly died and Carolina was still wounded. This leads to Ep 15's talk with Wash.
Freckles' memory chip is not the tracker. It's actually inside Wash.
- Assuming the WMG that Dr. Grey is a mole is true, then Dr. Grey implanted the tracking device inside Wash while she was operating on him. Freckles' chip is just a Red Herring.
- Jossed.
The Reds and Blues are going to leave the planet and get help.
- In addition to this, when their help does arrive (In the form of the UNSC) Locus will get angry at Felix and the two will fight for real.
Control is Jul M'dama.
- Jossed.
Control has help making the alien weapons.
We've seen this help before, but only in shadow. Yes, I'm talking about the Covenant Engineer that helped make the A.I.s. It is still unaccounted for after Project Freelancer disbanded. Doyle won't order his men to fire, but instead implore the New Republic to surrender.
Doyle, being more pacifistic, will ask the New Republic to surrender, citing all of the people who've died. When he gives the story Locus gave him about the BGC's deaths, Kimball will retort saying that's a lie, giving Felix's story before going through everything the Federation has done during the war. They argue over who did what, eventually picking up on a few incongruities before realizing that the Felix and Locus could've done those tasks...- Jossed. The Reds and Blues trick Felix into an Engineered Public Confession.
- Though Kimbal and Doyal came pretty close to figuring it out before the pirates came in.
Locus will undergo a Heel–Face Turn
Unlike his counterpart, Locus is not sadistic or vengeful, and actually seems to dislike his own partner more than the Reds and Blues. Washington gives him a pretty thorough speech calling him out and definitely strikes a nerve regarding how he's avoiding responsibility for committing mass murder, and Control notes that his behavior changed recently and he questions them more. Plus, with all the Star Wars references, Locus is Darth Vader, though I wouldn't count on him dying.- Confirmed!]
Maine is coming back
In the finale for Season 13, Charon Industries is shown as possessing his equipment. Add to the fact that they explicitly mention Charon using CRYOGENICS, and is seems likely that he is alive. Maine isn't coming back.
Instead, the Chairman wants to use the information in his helmet to create new, leashed Meta-stength Super Soldiers. Starting with Locus and Felix.- Another possibility is that some of the AI actually survived the events of season 6, the Chairman could've lied, and were stuck in the helmet like Epsilon was in season 9. Tex could still be alive.
- It's possible, an AI would probably be too large filewise to store electronically, and as Rv B borrows heavily from the Haloverse they're probably stored in data crystals, meaning the 'Ehmp' wouldn't have wiped the A.I.s in the Meta's helmet, but potentially fried the electronic circuitry in the helmet to the point that they're essentially 'trapped' in there - if the Chairman can get the (all-but-complete) Alpha out of there and manipulate him into working with them (or bully him into submission like he's implied to have done with FILSS), we could be dealing with an Epsilon!Church vs Alpha!Church scenario in Season 13 - potentially ending with a fully-reformed (and metastable) Alpha by the end of it (and perhaps the resurrection of Beta-Tex as well)
- The fact the he even has FILSS at all is a hint this may be the case; FILSS deleted herself when Dr. Church killed himself. So bringing an AI Back from the Dead is something that he's done in the past.
Epsilon-Church has already reached metastability.
- Unlikely, it's stated in Season 10 that the fragments wouldn't be able to reach rampancy, let alone metastability. And while Epsilon seems to think of himself as the 'new' Alpha, season 12 shows that despite having access to the old tricks the other fragments had, for example, Omega's bodysurfing, he can't use them as well as Alpha or Omega could, as possessing Grif for just a few seconds was enough to give him a headache.
Wash is completely correct about Locus and Locus knows it.
- Besides him tackling Wash at the end of his "The Reason You Suck" Speech he was standing over Wash's unconcious form before he got the call informing him about what happened at capital. On top of that when he says to follow protocol he stutters.
- Alternatively, while Wash was correct about Locus, Locus may have not have believed it. Locus believes himself to be a Consummate Professional, and is shaken up by the fact that Wash is saying that he's not.
The Meta is coming back and will be instrumental in the defeat of the Space Pirates by turning on them.
the Chairman, Locus and Felix will use him for whatever plans they have, only to find out the hard way what Wash already learned: Evil Is Not a Toy. Meta breaks free and either tries to redeem himself to the Blood Gulch Crew or becomes an even more dangerous threat and tears Charon Industries apart. Frankly I really want to see the Chairman, Locus and Felix's smug superiority shattered into pieces when they realize that their "asset" becomes their worst nightmare, and they're subjected to the same threat that the BGC already faced.- Semi-Confirmed, Semi-Jossed. The Meta doesn't exactly return (the Counselor even confirms his death onscreen to Locus), but his special suit of Freelancer-ability-equipped armor is recovered by the Chairman, who was using his scientists to reverse-engineer it to create future products for Charon. However, when the Reds and Blues (minus Wash and Carolina) storm the Staff of Charon in the finale, Tucker gets put in the ssuit, and Epsilon defragments himself to power it up to save his friends from the Space Pirates' counter-attack.
- To start with, voice modifiers exist, as demonstrated by Tex way back in Season One. Also, and this is going by the WMG that Sarge has PTSD and his established fear of heights, well the Fifteenth Angel was both really high up and really messed with Asuka's head. Also, at some point, her mother died in front of her holding a doll she perceived to be her daughter, after "killing" said doll. The ODST background is simply a cover story, as she doesn't like talking about her Dark and Troubled Past. Besides, who else really likes the color red, fighting, and abusing perceived weaklings among their subordinates? Sarge's antipathy towards the Blues? Asuka's residual memories of Rei, after her dip in a certain orange fluid. You can't unsee it.
The FILSS at the end of Season 12 isn't actually FILSS...
- ...It's actually Sheila, retrieved from the crashed Pelican and repurposed/reprogrammed as a replacement for FILSS. It makes sense; FILSS was told to delete herself and Sheila was implied to still be active in Season 10.
Epsilon's 'death', will actually be his reformation with the other A.I.s into the Alpha
- Following on from an above theory that the Meta's helmet contains the other AI fragments, including Alpha, then Epsilon sending his final message in the teaser is less him finally going to die, but him and the other fragments reforming fully into the Alpha after so long, meaning that Epsilon!Church, as a separate entity, will cease to exist, but the Alpha would continue on with his memories - Epsilon sent the collected works to the new Chairman in case the Alpha is no longer the same person he was.
- not particularly likely, though, as Alpha and co. were destroyed by the EMP. The only active fragment in the Meta's helmet at the time of death was Tex.
- Not exactly - Epsilon!Tex was in the AI capturing device and running the Meta's armor through that, not in the Meta's head. Following from that, the above theory referred to posits that, since Red vs Blue borrows quite heavily from the Halo universe (especially in terms of how AI function), AI are stored on data crystals - so only the electronic parts of the Meta's helmet (which Hargrove has) would have been fried by the Ehmp, leaving the AI trapped inside until someone could figure out how to extract them.
- not particularly likely, though, as Alpha and co. were destroyed by the EMP. The only active fragment in the Meta's helmet at the time of death was Tex.
Insurrectionist Flame Soldier will assume the identity of Agent Maine/The Meta to fight against Agent Washington and Carolina in Season 13.
- Someone else must have been thinking this. Points to be made:
- He's fought against Carolina and Washington in the past which lead to his defeat.
- Chairman Hargrove has at the very least, Agent Maine's helmet and at most, his whole suit of armor. (That chest it came in looked too big to just carry a helmet.
- Aiden Price says he will be useful to Felix if properly guided. Considering Aiden knows much about the Freelancers, this troper is thinking dress this guy up in Maine's armor and invoke either Heroic BSoD or a "Why won't you die!?" response from Wash and Carolina while he proceeds to wipe the floor with them or possibly injure/kill one of them.
- OP Here. It's looking more and more likely that either Hargrove or Locus (unlikely) will don the Meta's suit in a last ditch effort to win.
The rest of Ignoble Team will also return.
Aside from Sleeves, Sniper, Chain Guy and Chain Girl, and Pillman, who are all confirmed to be dead, they're missing, and therefore have a chance to be alive. Sharkface survived a gravity hammer to the face, and Red Demo Man survived a MAC round coming down on top of him after all.- Jossed.
Junior will be coming back for Season 13
Probably via Big Damn Heroes moment, Junior and his alient army will join the Chorus army. We see in episode 1 that Felix and Locus have recruited a large army of strong criminals filtered by Felix and Locus' selection. While the Chorus army is under the great and not so great direction of the Reds and Blues, facing against the pirate's army will be overwhelming, especially with the after effects of civil wars and Season 12 (not to mention the Counselor's and another guy who has experienced with the Freelancers involvement). The only plausible way the Chorus army has a chance against them is have another party join them. And considering the role alien technology has be playing so far, who better to have then Junior and his alien army (him being an alien race savoir, will probably give him those benefits). Other things to consider is that in episode one, we see aliens being blamed for the galaxy's current problems. There is a mutual interest for the the aliens joining up with the Chorus army. With the alien technology being activated in episode 4, it wouldn't be surprising if Junior got notified about it.- (Sorta) Confirmed. He didn't come back, but shows up as a cameo in Episode 5 in the form of a photograph Tucker took of him on his fifth grade basketball team.
When Tucker enters the gateway/portal...
When Locus entered the portal, he was greeted by memories of people from his past, including Felix and himself, talking about how they found a 'monster'. With all the alien speak and lore this season, it's not hard to figure out that Locus was put in the place of an alien that he and his allies encountered and killed before. Tucker has directly interacted with two aliens: Junior and Crunchbite. When (and I don't mean if, I mean when) Tucker enters the portal, he'll be put in the place of one of those two aliens. As a result, we'll get a few callbacks to the Blood Gulch Chronicles. "Sharkface" is an Affectionate Nickname
We know Sharkface thought of his team as family, and that his name is pretty dumb. It was probably a nickname his squad gave to him at some point, and now he's taken it on in memory of them. Felix will gain the other key.
To drive home the fact that he's an Evil Counterpart to Tucker.- Jossed. Doyle has the key.
- Not necessarily. Felix may kill Doyle, and then take the key for himself. I wouldn't put it past him, frankly.
- Confirmed as of Episode 17.
Doc will make a Face–Heel Turn
Him losing his sanity, not taking being forgotten well, and slipping back into O'Mally mode all seem to point to him either joining the Space Pirates or becoming a separate threat. Epsilon isn't failing, he's just at his limits.
Season 13's been suggesting that Epsilon is experiencing rampancy, but he used to operate a Monitor body in the Recollections saga. Whatever coding he have absorbed from the Monitor body has increased his lifespan, but not his functionality; he's still an AI fragment. However, that coding could be the key to restoring his functionality as the Alpha.- Confirmed.
Church's death, if Rooster Teeth went there, would be more implied than Killed Off for Real
Something involving any alien tech that Charron possesses might have on their ship would somehow malfunction, forcing Church to take the ship into slipspace to avoid a disaster. But, an epilogue would reveal that Church is alive, his longevity issues resolved by using the alien tech, under a new identity, on Remnant. That way, if Roosterteeth does somehow manage a crossover with their other big show
they'd already have a set up. Church is going to split off different A.I.s just like the Alpha did.
In episode 17 he momentarily let a few of the fragments persona's take over. It's possible that eventually he won't be able to handle it and split. Locus will pull a Heel–Face Turn
That talk he had with Price about the Meta seems to have shaken him a bit, and coupled with what he saw in the Alien Temple, we seem to be getting an insight as to how his beliefs of a soldier are appearing to falter. Granted, it won't be a case of directly siding with the BGC and the Armonian forces, but maybe he'll refuse to shoot one of the BGC, if only to spite Felix.- Now with the collapse of their army in Episode 18, this creates a perfect dramatic moment for it to be paid off. Felix goes on a rampage, driven far more by revenge than their "orders" and Locus gets serious second thoughts about his mission and partner.
- He seems to have done this by episode 19 by intimidating Felix and ultimately aiding the BGC in his demise. Whether or not it sticks out is yet to be seen.
The Great Weapon amplifies whatever aspect their wielder represents the most.
Think the Super Soldier Serum in Captain America: The First Avenger: "Good becomes great; bad becomes worse". Tucker's Catchphrase only rose to prominence after the key bonded to him. Doyle was ready, if unwilling, to use a pistol on Kimball during the Civil War, yet he refused to use the weapon on Felix when he was cornered in the mountains, cowardly letting it go to save himself. Felix, while already evil, is now seemingly dependent on activating the Purge, willing to do it by any means necessary, even sacrificing his men to do so.But before you point out that Doyle sacrificed himself in an act of bravery, then think about this: Tucker and Felix have had extended contact with the Great Weapon. Doyle only held it for a short time. Therefore, the effects weren't all that lasting on him.
Epsilon will be implanted in Wash again
And that might be how Church dies (or "dies") again, because it probably will not be a pleasant experience for either of them.There are a couple of things throughout the arc that made me think of it. First Dr. Grey mentions the wires and such when Epsilon was first implanted, and then there's the Counselor giving Felix and Locus information about Carolina and Wash when he was convincing them to keep him around. He mentions Carolina's competitiveness being a hindrance and that's come into play when Sharkface tries to find Doyle. His comment about Wash refusing to get an AI again hasn't had any payoff. Yet.
The series has ended chronologically.
As soon as Church died, the season ended, despite it being a Cliffhanger. As long as Alpha and Epsilon, the series has been going. The Freelancer flashbacks probably went has far as they did because this was the first time the Alpha was used. All subsequent seasons will take place before this moment. We will never see past the moment that Church sacrificed himself for the Reds and Blues.- Jossed by the After Buzz stream. Miles and Burnie said we will pick up sometime later.
- Speaking of which . . .
The final story arc of Season 14 (the short story/anthology season) will depict the Last Stand of the Reds and Blues
Because there's just no way the guys at Rooster Teeth could ever resist ending the season with a wicked awesome fight scene, especially after we were all Left Hanging at the end of Season 13.- Jossed. The final episode of Season 14 is "Red vs. Blue vs. Rooster Teeth".
Locus will end up joining the Reds and Blues
With Tex, Carolina, and Washington, the Reds and Blues seem to have a knack for recruiting hardened mercenaries to their side. Plus, with Epsilon-Church presumably dead, somebody is going to have to fill the role of the Only Sane Deadpan Snarker.- Surprisingly Confirmed in Season 15, where he (at least temporarily) joins the Reds and Blues to help rescue them from the Blues and Reds.
Felix isn't really dead and will become a recurring antagonist.
Because you really think that Disney Villain Death would be the end of him?- Considering his sword got rebonded to Locus most likely Jossed.
- Definitely Jossed via Word of God, with Miles Luna outright stating in an After Buzz TV interview that Felix "is super dead, and got Disneyed hard."
