comment |
The sixth through eighth seasons of Red vs. Blue, filmed almost entirely inside of Halo 3 (though with some minor detours into Halo 2 and Halo: Reach respectively). This story arc contains 68 episodes in total, including two miniseries, "Recovery One"note A direct follow-up to "Out of Mind" and a lead-in to the story arc and "Relocated"note Which serves as a bridge between season 6 and 7, along with the plot-relevant trailers for Seasons 6 and 7.The Recollection is most notable for being where Red vs. Blue definitely goes through Cerebus Syndrome; while the show will still be just as hilarious as ever, the tone becomes noticeably darker and more serious as this story arc goes on, now focusing on Project Freelancer and the mysterious "Director" of the aforementioned organization.This story arc also marks the beginning of the series' collaboration with Monty Oum, who would do several CGI-animated fight scenes in Season 8 before taking over animation duties for Seasons 9 and 10.Warning: Each folder will contain unmarked spoilers for the previous seasons. |

A Form You Are Comfortable With: Epsilon initially appears to Caboose as Delta because it knows Caboose trusted Delta. Although Caboose is a little unclear on the concept, so the benefit was largely wasted on him. |

Hero Antagonist: Washington, in a sense. The Chairman hired him and his partner to take in the Epsilon Unit so as to take down the Director and free him from jail. The only problem is that Epsilon now has taken on the form of Church again somewhat, and said Hero Antagonist isn't telling anyone why he's going after them, nor even asking for help, instead going deep into villainous territory. |

Then in Episode 19 he stabs Tex through the face with a 2-foot-long spike, then uses her A.I. to restore his lost powers. Cue Oh, Crap! reaction from Washington, Church, and Doc. |

Covert Emergency Call: In an odd twist, a character sends such a message completely by accident. Simmons, who is being held hostage by Washington and the Meta, receives a call from Sarge, but being held at gunpoint, Simmons just tries to act like everything is fine. Despite this, after the call is finished, Sarge uses some Insane Troll Logic to identify all of the "hidden messages" Simmons left for him in his call, which by astounding coincidence happened to coincide exactly with what was really going on down to the smallest detail. |

Gone Horribly Right: For the Director of Project Freelancer, the Red vs. Blue Teams were created to put Freelancers in realistic, potentially deadly simulations to perfect and weed out the participants while using the dregs of the army. Blood Gulch proved to be highly incompetent and efficient at the same time in this regard beyond his wildest expectations. |

Nigh-Invulnerability |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_1f7c89f6 |
comment |
Nigh-Invulnerability: In the final episodes, the Meta proves to be even more unstoppable than before. Tex and later Washington manage to land several good hits on it (including a backbreaker move and multiple knife cuts), but none of those even slow it down. Even being stabbed straight through the chest with the Energy Sword by Tucker (something that has been shown to be a one-hit-kill against everyone else it's been used on) only seems to inconvenience it slightly, although the sword does seem to slow the Meta down just enough for Sarge to set up its final defeat using the Warthog's tow cable. It's also all a Continuity Nod to Reconstruction. In this and Recreation, the lack of an A.I. meant he couldn't use his armor enhancements, like his Overshields, Invisibility, Bubble Shield (remember that one?), and his Super-Strength was diminished. Now, with what is possibly the most complete Freelancer A.I. besides the Alpha in his head, he is virtually unstoppable. |

Ominous Latin Chanting: Near the end of the battle between Tex, Wash, and the Meta, this occurs. The chant is "Plagam extremam infilgere," which roughly translates to "violent murder." Considering what the Meta does to Tex in this scene, it's rather fitting. |

Chekhov's Gag: Episode 18 sees the return of the series Arc Words, "Do you ever wonder why we're here?". However, instead of being used in a comedic fashion as it has been previously, it's instead used as a part of Sarge's badass Rousing Speech. The Warthog vs. Puma debate from The Blood Gulch Chronicles makes a return in a rather badass fashion, being used by Sarge as a distraction to attach the Warthog's cable to The Meta. Early on in the Season, Sarge uses "Shotgun" as a codeword for Grif to drive through Valhalla's wall, only for Grif to not understand at first because Sarge uses that word all the time. In the final episode, Sarge uses it again as cue for Grif and Simmons to push the Warthog off Sidewinder's cliff. |

Chekhov's Gun: Caboose's outdated armor. It isn't equipped with safety protocols like Armor Lockdown. In Chapter 12, we learned that Recovery Beacons won't activate inside the backup Freelancer facility. The immediate crisis is resolved and Tex and Epsilon-Church head off to a mysterious snowy facility alone. In the remote location, Tex shoots Epsilon-Church in order to activate his Recovery Beacon and bring Wash and the Meta to her. When Revelations first started, the series' main cover was an image of Tex's helmet with the faceplate shattered. In Episode 19, we see the events that cause this to happen. The Meta's Brute Shot is almost literally one, albeit in a bit of a strange fashion. The Meta uses it to save himself from falling off the cliff after the fight with Tex. Later, when he tries to drag Grif off the cliff with him to his doom, Grif uses it do the same thing. Only this time, The Meta is still screwed. And finally, the towing cable on the Warthog. It's first introduced and used in "Towing Package," but it's not until "n+1" that it's used in a more overtly dramatic fashion. |

Ironic Echo: Sarge gives one to one of the first one-liners of the series... before going into a fantastic Rousing Speech centered around that one line. "You ever wonder why we're here?" A possibly unintentional example: at the end of Blood Gulch Chronicles, Church asked Tex what would happen after she helped O'Malley in his plan, and her response was "I guess we'll find out." In Episode 17 of this season, when Epsilon-Church asks Tex why she's betraying their location to Washington and the Meta, her response is "That's exactly what I plan to find out." |

Failure Is the Only Option |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_260926c3 |
comment |
Additionally, Revelation also confirms that Tex was an A.I.. Specifically, she was another product of the Alpha - the "Beta" A.I. - and was based after the memories of the Director's deceased wife Allison. Unfortunately, since Allison's tragic death in battle is the main thing that the Director remembers of her, that concept is effectively "baked into" Tex's entire reason of being, meaning that no matter how tough she is, she will always fail at the last second whenever she puts her mind to something. Essentially, she's the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Alpha's failure. |

Artifact Title: It was already pretty arguable for the third, fourth, and fifth seasons of The Blood Gulch Chronicles, but from this story arc onward is really when the titular teams of Red vs. Blue have essentially permanently allied to fight a greater threat (save for whenever Sarge feels there's a good opportunity at hand to betray the Blues). Every time the teams separate again, it tends to be during periods of time taking place between seasons. |

Worf Had the Flu: In the second-to-last episode, it's revealed that Tex is destined to always fail at the last moment, because she's based on the memory of the Director's lost love who died in combat, and the trauma of her death is an integral part of how the Director remembers her. This explains how, throughout the series, Tex always managed to get captured, killed, or knocked-out at a critical moment without accomplishing anything of actual importance despite being the series' biggest badass. |

The Bad Guy Wins: Well, to a point. The Meta is stopped, but the epilogue has the Director explain the loophole he is using to avoid punishment for his actions and he implies that he sees Church's willingness to sacrifice himself as proof of his own bravery. The next season reveals that Caboose never turned Epsilon in, meaning there was no evidence for the case against him anyway. |

Strange Minds Think Alike: Sort of. When radioed, Simmons doesn't get a chance to let Sarge know that they're being held hostage. After the end of the transmission, Sarge casually announces the exact situation at Valhalla, then goes on to justify it using increasingly convoluted reasoning. Also, when Washington spots a trap, and notices that it must be set up a Freelancer since they had run that exact situation in several drills, Doc asks "But if they're a Freelancer, wouldn't they know you'd realize this?" Washington tells him he's overthinking it, then mines activate all around them. |

The Unintelligible: The Meta is making... some sort of noise. Wash seems to understand what he's saying, although that's often Rule of Funny in effect. It's later revealed in Season 9 that the Meta was shot in the throat while he was still a normal Freelancer and Wash was friends with him when it happened, so it is likely that Wash has just heard it long enough to grasp the basic meaning. |

I Can't Do This by Myself |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_34155d20 |
comment |
I Can't Do This by Myself: Agent Washington repeatedly uses this phrase or some variant of it to convince the Red and Blue teams to join his fight against the Meta, so much so that it's parodied in the first Rooster Teeth Short, where a fake recording session of Washington's voice actor Shannon McCormick shows him saying this, along with several other parodic versions of Wash's frequent statements. None of them would consider Wash a "friend", though - they only join him because they each hope to get something for themselves out of the deal (except for Caboose, who always seems happy to help anyone - even if they don't want him to). In fact, Wash tries everything from pulling rank to outright bribery (though notably not asking nicely) to get the teams to cooperate. |

Character Development: After Sarge snaps out of his Heroic BSoD, he softly leaves his hatred against the Blues behind him, gives a rather epic Rousing Speech that even drives Grif to help him, and sets out with the rest to make everyone from the Project Freelancer pay for what they did to them. Washington, after a lifetime of betrayal, finally betrays someone himself. When they welcome him back with open arms, he is audibly shocked and contemplating what this means to him. Simmons is more willing to challenge Sarge's authority after the rift in their relationship in the previous season. Conversely, this has caused Grif and Sarge to develop a closer relationship. |

| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_3d699462 |
comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Tucker and the Reds are utterly destroyed (albeit non-lethally) in Episode 10, as seen here. This is especially notable as its one of the first scenes and the first fight scene to be affected by the Animation Bump. |

Near-Miss Groin Attack: In episode 10, Tex beats the living shit out of the Reds and Tucker. Every time Tex goes after Grif, she makes sure to hit him in the 'nads. The one time this is subverted, she is running away from a missile and slides between Grif's legs, and Grif covers up and whimpers at what is about to happen... only for the missile to harmlessly fly between his legs as well. |

Bittersweet Ending: Even though our plucky heroes escape and the Meta is defeated, once again the Director seems to have escaped justice and Church and Tex are again lost, possibly forever. In an upbeat coda, however, Church makes peace with his nature and admits that, in spite of everything, the memories he has from his life are good ones, and now he has all the time in the world to wait for Tex to come back to him. |

Book Ends: Reconstruction begins with a soldier looking at the dead body of a Freelancer as the camera pans up in Valhalla, showing a huge number of characters (so many that the creators actually had to run several games and use splitscreen to get that many). Revelation ends with a soldier looking at Tex's body in Avalanche and the camera pans up to show a similar shot. The final scene of the season is a bookend for the entire series thus far, with the original Blue Team, in the Reach Blood Gulch map, talking about how the Reds got a new car. |

| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_5798bfbf |
comment |
While it was already being hinted at in Reconstruction, Revelation explicitly spells out that the Red and Blue teams are not real soldiers. They're actually the lowest-ranked and worst soldiers out of the UNSC that were Reassigned to Antarctica by being sent over to be used as Cannon Fodder/glorified training dummies and lab rats for both Project Freelancer's Super Soldiers to train against and to see how soldiers would react to potential scenarios on the galactic battlefield. All of the wacky hijinks from throughout The Blood Gulch Chronicles? It was all an excessively elaborate training simulation for the Freelancers. |

Ambiguous Syntax: Downplayed, but Washington's description of the Red vs. Blue simulation war seems at the time to be him just stating that their fight is unimportant in comparison to what's going on with the Meta. However, Revelation would reveal that he was being completely literal in describing them as only being "simulation troopers." |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Simmons is hacking into the Freelancer database to erase the records on the Blues, he ALT-TABS out and several other tabs can be seen, including a Word document called "Super secret plan" and a Yahoo image search called "cortana_nude_fake". In the season finale, the Meta's seven captured A.I.s can be seen, including one that has since been identified as Tex. When Church sacrifices himself to defeat Meta, Tex is the only A.I. to visibly react (she turns towards him when he charges at Meta). |

Grievous Harm with a Body: Tucker, Grif, Simmons, and Sarge are all used as weapons against each other during the the epic fight scene in Episode 10. Then, in a truly weird inversion, Church is pummeled with his own former body in the next episode. Which doesn't seem physically possible. In the finale the Meta throws Sarge at the other Reds, leaving Tucker to temporarily face him one-on-one. |

Badass Normal: Agent Washington seems to be this. A close examination of his performance in the big fight in Episode 19 indicates he's not in the same superhuman league as Tex or the Meta, but he still manages to hold his own and while he's not the melee powerhouse that the Meta is, he's still a more competent fighter than any of the Blood Gulch Crew as well as a damn good shot (all after being blown up and visibly injured by a bunch of landmines). Episode 20 seems to confirm it, as Wash finally hits his limit, and can't keep fighting... but only after taking an explosive round at point blank to the chest. Both Sarge and Tucker count for this category, although not on the same level as Wash. Sarge because he was willing to get up close with the Meta to put his (really Wash's) plan into action, while Tucker has just become a great fighter all around, for a non-freelancer; Tucker's exploits include holding off C.T.'s forces on his own, slicing in half a warthog and a huge ass crate in a moments notice, and, most of all, stabbing the Meta through the chest with his sword, which would kill anyone else almost instantly. While nowhere near the level of the shown freelancers, both Sarge and Tucker are extremely competent soldiers. Grif as well, when you get down to it. A normal human would've died dozens of times in that fight with Tex. Grif has also been surviving explosions, falls, blunt-force trauma and bullets that should've killed him since Season 2... from both enemies and allies! He also wrestles the Meta's Brute Shot away, leading to Tucker stabbing the Super-Soldier through the chest with his Laser Blade. |

The Reveal: While it was already being hinted at in Reconstruction, Revelation explicitly spells out that the Red and Blue teams are not real soldiers. They're actually the lowest-ranked and worst soldiers out of the UNSC that were Reassigned to Antarctica by being sent over to be used as Cannon Fodder/glorified training dummies and lab rats for both Project Freelancer's Super Soldiers to train against and to see how soldiers would react to potential scenarios on the galactic battlefield. All of the wacky hijinks from throughout The Blood Gulch Chronicles? It was all an excessively elaborate training simulation for the Freelancers. Additionally, Revelation also confirms that Tex was an A.I.. Specifically, she was another product of the Alpha - the "Beta" A.I. - and was based after the memories of the Director's deceased wife Allison. Unfortunately, since Allison's tragic death in battle is the main thing that the Director remembers of her, that concept is effectively "baked into" Tex's entire reason of being, meaning that no matter how tough she is, she will always fail at the last second whenever she puts her mind to something. Essentially, she's the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Alpha's failure. |

And the Adventure Continues: After all the shenanigans, damage, lies, victories and defeats of the last 8 seasons, they decided to return to their Training program because they liked it and care little if it is not real for command, its real for them. The fact that technically they have shown to be the biggest badasses in the entire series far beyond mere trainees, literally surviving and defeating one One-Man Army after another while thousands of others didn't, make it all the more intense. |

There is an actual reason for all those robots and A.I.s programs that kept popping up all over the place. Even the worthlessness of fighting a base in the middle of a box canyon is addressed. Reconstruction: In the spirit of the name of the season, the idiotic personalities of the Blood Gulch teams meeting the more serious military personalities only makes for an even funnier contrast. Additionally, all of the tropes of The Blood Gulch Chronicles that were taken apart are eventually being put back together here (i.e., the worthlessness of the Forever War between the Red and Blue Teams is explained first here and then later elaborated on in Revelation as them being training dummies used to help Freelancer Agents prepare for fighting on the galactic battlefield). |

It's perhaps best summed-up in this conversation below when Sarge, Grif, and Caboose meet back up with Tucker at the desert temple in Sandtrap: |

Deuteragonist: While the season's story is ultimately about Caboose attempting to resurrect Church via Epsilon, the subplot involving Simmons becoming increasingly distanced from Sarge and him growing more of a spine as he struggles to take leadership over the rest of Red Team in Valhalla is still given quite a bit of screen-time, with him being overall the second-most important character of the season. Additionally, Epsilon-Church serves as the season's Tritagonist after Caboose brings him Back from the Dead, with his part of the story involving him trying to recover his old memories and find out who he is. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Turns out the Chairman was about to arrest the Director, but Wash's plan destroyed all of the evidence. Wash was promptly arrested. That being said, part of the original plan hinged on the Reds and Caboose turning Epsilon over, as Epsilon was the major piece of evidence. The fact that Caboose seemed to have kept it secret to try and bring back Church might explain why Wash is so pissed off at the Blood Gulch Crew. |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In the first episode of the season, the others (Tucker, Grif, and Caboose respectively) try insulting Church to make him angry enough do the "laserface" again. The insults are that "he's ugly and nobody likes him," "he's annoying and his team sucks," and "he's round and can't wear pants." While none of them make him angry, the last one is the only one that manages to depress him. |

Hell, through lots of preparation and sheer skill she's even able to get and maintain the upper hand in her long awaited fight against the series' ultimate monster, who's also assisted by another badass Super-Soldier who's no slouch himself. |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Way back in Season 4, a single Elite was so awesome, it could effortlessly decimate Omega and his robot army, and could even curbstomp Tex in seconds. Now, in Recreation, we see them get slaughtered en masse by one awesome soldier (Tucker). Justified in that Lopez wasn't even trying when he made the robot army (such as the interpretation of "day of victory"), however. |

Also averted in how the other characters react to A.I.s (and discovering that Tex and Church are also A.I.s). For the most part, the Reds and Blues treat A.I.s just like any other person. In contrast, Freelancers treat them more like tools, because that's all they were for Freelancers, although this seems to change if they've been together for a long time (York/Delta, Wyoming/Gamma, even Tex/Omega, although that doesn't mean they like each other) |

Laser-Guided Karma |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_90e31482 |
comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: After betraying the Reds and Blues last season, Washington is himself betrayed by the Meta in "Reunion." An amusing variant - the reason why poor Grif was subjected to so many Groin Attacks by Epsilon-Tex during "This One Goes To Eleven" is because she remembers from when she was part of Epsilon and Grif kicked away the Monitor he was housed in like a soccer ball during "Fourth and Twenty" (which apparently 'really hurt). |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_9350a0b9 |
comment |
The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Delta creates a message like this for Church. Notably, the usage of the trope here averts the nearly omniscient overtones that are usually present. When Church tries to mess with the recording by saying outrageous things, Delta simply responds by saying "stop testing me". This, of course, is handwaved by the fact that Delta is a highly advanced military-grade A.I., and so explained that he used logic to predict reasonable answers to the most likely questions Church would ask him. He just happened to be remarkably accurate. Later reveals indicate that this was helped by the fact that Church is the Alpha AI that Delta was originally split from. |

Took a Level in Badass: Grif and Sarge. To clarify, in Episode 20, Sarge has his Unflinching Walk towards The Meta before hooking it to the Warthog, dragging it to its doom, while Grif in Episode 3 drives a Warthog through a wall and runs Wash over. Even Tex, despite already easily being the biggest badass of the series, has, as the Episode 10 subtitle says, taken it up to eleven. Hell, through lots of preparation and sheer skill she's even able to get and maintain the upper hand in her long awaited fight against the series' ultimate monster, who's also assisted by another badass Super-Soldier who's no slouch himself. |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_9c45b5a2 |
comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Averted due to some surprisingly progressive legislation concerning Artificial Intelligences - it is implied in the Director and Chairman's memos that A.I.s are citizens, and have strict moral guidelines in place for dealing with them, more of which are added in "honor" of the Director after his actions concerning the Alpha are brought to light. Also averted in how the other characters react to A.I.s (and discovering that Tex and Church are also A.I.s). For the most part, the Reds and Blues treat A.I.s just like any other person. In contrast, Freelancers treat them more like tools, because that's all they were for Freelancers, although this seems to change if they've been together for a long time (York/Delta, Wyoming/Gamma, even Tex/Omega, although that doesn't mean they like each other) |

Spot the Imposter: Hilariously parodied in "This One Goes To Eleven," when Tucker (whose armor got colored black after going through the teleporter) is tackled by Tex and she's trying to beat him up. Meanwhile, Simmons has a rocket launcher and he's trying to figure out which black-armored figure to shoot. |

Foreshadowing |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_9d12bbc1 |
comment |
Foreshadowing: As later pointed out by Wash in Chapter 16, Church agrees with everything Delta says despite his own animosity towards the Freelancers and their A.I.s. This is because Delta is his own logic. Overlapping with Cassandra Truth — In Chapter 14, a confused Simmons mentions that it's impossible to "copy" a Smart A.I.. Given that Simmons is The Smart Guy of Red Team, this gives more credence to the later reveal by Wash that the Freelancer A.I.s are actually fragments, not copies, of the Alpha A.I.. invoked A more subtle case, but Church is utterly unaffected by being left alone at a base for roughly fourteen months, apparently having not Gone Mad From The Isolation during that time. On the surface, it seems like it can be chalked up to Church's hating everyone equally, but it would later make more sense after Church is revealed to be an A.I., and so it would be pretty reasonable for him to be able to survive on his own for long periods of time without any outside stimulus so he wouldn't go crazy. |

Made of Iron: The Freelancers in general, but the Meta makes the other two look like plasticine with his endurance. Seriously, watch the last two episodes and see just how much damage he takes within a 20 minute timeframe. Kinda makes one wonder whether he actually died from that fall. However, it's revealed in Season 13 that he drowned thanks to the stab wounds Tucker inflicted upon him. |

comment |
Continuity Nod: Burnie Burns has said that "memory" is a key theme of the Revelation season, and thus it is full of them to reinforce that: The CGI Warthog Grif drives has six pedals. The aliens calling Washington "Shisno." Tucker is the only one to get black stuff on his armor when going through warps, then gets punched so hard, that the aforementioned black stuff completely comes off, leading Sarge to make the comment that the punch "knocked the black right off of ya!" Tucker responds with "That's racist!" perhaps referencing his brief conversation with Church where the possibility came up that he could be black. Grif forgetting to bring the squad's ammo. Ironically, this actually saves his life. Tucker's sword doesn't work for anyone else. "She's beating him up with his own [x]? That doesn't seem physically possible!" That flashback in Season 1 when Tex attacked Sidewinder/Avalanche? Tex brings it up when they go back there, and you realize that was when she tried to save the Alpha and failed. When Tex is mentioning that Gamma was one of the A.I.s that tortured Alpha, the computer terminal that housed Gamma during The Blood Gulch Chronicles can be seen on a nearby wall. The Freelancer training facility's A.I. (which sounds exactly like Sheila) is named F.I.L.S.S. This was also the name of the original Sheila before Church accidentally changed it during his (what was actually just a torture session in all likelihood) time travel adventures. Sarge (along with Grif and Simmons) end up in a grainy, black-and-white version of reality (just like when Sarge was shot and near death back in Season 1), and once again believes it to be the afterlife. It's actually revealed to be a recovery buffer for Project Freelancer units awaiting retrieval by a Recovery Agent. Agent Washington: "That was the second worst throw... ever. Of all time." Doc: "What do you want from me? I ran track in high school." "Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?" |

Subverted when Tucker tries to take out an enemy Warthog about to attack Sarge and Caboose's jeep by hitting it with his Chopper ramping off a hill (complete with gratuitous yelling during the entire very long time he spends in the air), but overshoots and misses them completely. However, this did give the jeep's gauss gun enough time to recharge and attack the enemies while they were distracted. |

Karma Houdini: The Director. Since at this point it is presumed impossible to get Epsilon out of the capture unit, that means there's no evidence against him and he'll get off scott free. There is the possibility, though, that the unit is incriminating in itself, even if the information in it can't be released. And in his own words, he has brought a great deal of suffering down upon himself, even if the law won't recognize it as punishment. Washington also gets off scott free even though he killed Donut and Lopez - although those actions have shown to be inconsequential later. Furthermore, he seems to genuinely want to become The Atoner for what he's done in the past. |

Allegiance Affirmation: Agent Washington, after all his efforts to bring the Director and Project Freelancer to justice, is arrested in Season 7 for detaining an EMP in Freelancer Command and spends most of the season in jail, seething over it and getting increasingly bitter. Then, at the end of the season, he arrives just as the Meta corners Simmons, Donut, and Lopez and shoots Donut and Lopez dead. |

What You Are in the Dark: There's no real reason why Doc decided to save Wash's life in "Reunion" - Well, aside from the fact that it's the right thing to do. Furthermore, Sarge convincing the rest of the surviving Reds and Tucker to go with him and Caboose to Sidewinder to save Tex & Church from Wash and the Meta in "Rally Cap" is motivated by how he knows that no one else is going to come and help them, and he should at least do something to help. |

Epic Fail: Technically what it becomes of the Blood Gulch teams, though it's the rare case where the failure is actually positive. They were teams of the lowest of the lowest in the army, formed to train the Freelancers in "real" heavy combat. Instead, they ended up killing several of the strongest Freelancers ever and literally brought the whole rotten project crashing to the ground. Say what you will about the idiots, but when they go down, they go down spectacularly. |

Mirror Character: Way back in Season 5, Wyoming and Omega's plan was to take control of the aliens' god and use it to corrupt their religion, which Church finds absolutely disgusting. Now, Church is controlling a powerful Forerunner monitor that the aliens worship, and is nonchalantly keeping them entertained with "parables" that he made up. It is a matter of degree, however — Church has no intention of enslaving the aliens, as he is just playing with their ignorance since he finds it fun. |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_c82e751f |
comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Retroactive: it turns out the reason why Washington is still alive, despite South supposedly killing him at the end of Recovery One, is because he had York's healing unit in his suit, which is also the first time we ever hear of him having it. The penultimate episode shows that Church is 100% unwilling to help Washington with his plan to take down the Meta. The start of the finale shows that he still refuses to stick around, something that Wash and even Simmons insult him for. The Reds and Blues proceed to leave and the Meta, seeing through the distraction, goes after Wash... and it turns out that this was his plan; Church implanted himself into Wash, and the others were told to leave with his body. |

comment |
Overlapping with Cassandra Truth — In Chapter 14, a confused Simmons mentions that it's impossible to "copy" a Smart A.I.. Given that Simmons is The Smart Guy of Red Team, this gives more credence to the later reveal by Wash that the Freelancer A.I.s are actually fragments, not copies, of the Alpha A.I.. |

Anti-Villain: Wash has a degree of this, especially after you realize that the reason he is after the Blood Gulch Crew is because he was sent to prison because they didn't hand over Epsilon like he told them to. And aside from that, what he's trying to do with Epsilon is actually to help put away a villain. |

What the Hell, Hero?: Doc is not at all pleased at Simmons leaving him stuck in the wall, whilst at the same time, "volunteering" him to stay behind and "sacrifice" himself. When Caboose accidentally ruins Tucker's plan to distract an enemy whilst Simmons prepares an ambush, Tucker calls out to Caboose, tipping off Simmons' position. |

Unperson: The Reds try to "defeat" the Blues by deleting them from the Command database. The episode also hangs a lampshade on Ret-Gone, when Caboose seems to disappear after the Reds finish purging the database. Simmons panics, thinking he may have deleted Caboose from existence. He was just using the bathroom before the upcoming battle. |

Friendship Moment |
| Red vs. Blue: The Recollection (Web Animation) / int_d6b5f05f |
comment |
Friendship Moment: After all the abuse Sarge has given him, Grif still instinctively pushes Sarge out the way of the wrecked Warthog as it comes flying at them. A more debatable case, but Doc still saves Washington in Episode 19, despite almost every previous scene featuring the two having Doc snarking at Wash, could've been this. When Tex points a shotgun at Grif's head, Simmons cries out in genuine concern. When Grif jumps on the Meta and tries to grapple it, Sarge holds his fire despite having a clean shot at the Meta so as not to hit Grif. Especially touching when you realize that it's the one time in the entire series when shooting Grif (in order to hit the Meta) would actually have been a legitimate strategy. At the end of the final fight, Simmons dives forward trying to grab Grif's hand before the Meta can drag him over the edge. Also, when Grif is about to fall, Sarge goes "Uh oh," and rushes over to them. The relationship between Sarge and Grif in battle is noticeably different than their normal interactions. There is the aforementioned Grif saving Sarge from the flying warthog incident, but more importantly Sarge seems to rely on Grif in battle. The best example is in the finale where Sarge allows the Meta to grab a hold of him in order to attach the tow cable to him. Sarge's entire plan relied on Grif figuring out what to do, and that shows a great deal of trust in the minor junior private negative first class. The final exchange between Epsilon-Church and Caboose where Church says goodbye to Caboose for the last time. Hell, by the end the two teams are practically a rather vitriolic set of True Companions. |

invoked A more subtle case, but Church is utterly unaffected by being left alone at a base for roughly fourteen months, apparently having not Gone Mad From The Isolation during that time. On the surface, it seems like it can be chalked up to Church's hating everyone equally, but it would later make more sense after Church is revealed to be an A.I., and so it would be pretty reasonable for him to be able to survive on his own for long periods of time without any outside stimulus so he wouldn't go crazy. |

Reconstruction: In the spirit of the name of the season, the idiotic personalities of the Blood Gulch teams meeting the more serious military personalities only makes for an even funnier contrast. Additionally, all of the tropes of The Blood Gulch Chronicles that were taken apart are eventually being put back together here (i.e., the worthlessness of the Forever War between the Red and Blue Teams is explained first here and then later elaborated on in Revelation as them being training dummies used to help Freelancer Agents prepare for fighting on the galactic battlefield). |

Flanderization: There're two examples that are actually great positives since they provide for some pretty hilarious jokes. Besides the Flag Zealots, Caboose only killed his teammates twice, once with a malfunctioning tank, and the other while the teammate was possessing an enemy Red. Now, telling him to help his allies is a surefire way to get them shot. Additionally, while Church's aim was always bad during The Blood Gulch Chronicles, it was never to an exceptionally egregious level. Here, Church is completely unable to shoot a man that's standing still less than two feet in front of him with a handgun and full clip of ammunition. |

Plot Tailored to the Party: Well, sort of. Each of the Reds and Blues participating in the final battle all play a part in defeating the Meta. Grif jumps on its back and manages to steal its Brute Shot, which leaves it open to being stabbed through the chest with the energy sword by Tucker, which in turn slows the Meta down enough for Sarge to attach the Warthog's towing cable to its chest plating, dragging Meta to its doom when Grif and Simmons push the Warthog over the edge of the abyss. |

An amusing variant - the reason why poor Grif was subjected to so many Groin Attacks by Epsilon-Tex during "This One Goes To Eleven" is because she remembers from when she was part of Epsilon and Grif kicked away the Monitor he was housed in like a soccer ball during "Fourth and Twenty" (which apparently 'really hurt). |

Then played straight in Episode 19, when Caboose, Tucker, and the Reds fly in on the Pelican, and save Wash, Doc, and Church from the Meta, if only for a moment. |

Faking the Dead: Washington accomplishes this by the end to avoid arrest. He's now part of Blue Team. |

The Power of Friendship |

comment |
The Power of Friendship: Sort of. According to the DVD commentary, Burnie Burns said that the reason the Reds and Blues were able to take down the Meta is because they know each other so well and can communicate in ways that can get them around their obvious disadvantages. This is a subverted trope however, as Burns says that despite the fact that they may know each other really well, that does not mean they necessarily like each other. |

Foe Romance Subtext: Invoked Trope. The Meta really doesn't want to pull Doc out of the wall by his codpiece. It'd just be weird. |

Beware the Nice Ones: It's not seen, but strongly implied that Caboose is this in regards to how others treat Sheila. Church has to back away from Caboose twice before Wash picks up the hint. |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Director. His experiments were supposed to help humanity win the War against the Aliens. Even if everything he did ended in failure. And his torture of the Alpha was essentially a torture of himself, at least in his view. |

Brick Joke: Episode 3. The Warthog has six pedals, despite there only being four directions. Episode 4. "Private Jimmy was here." Episode 10 has Tucker coming out of the teleporter covered in black gunk. Episode 11: "That doesn't seem physically possible!" |
