User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 12/@comment-123.243.188.237-20140717112828

Why is it that whenever a new character is introduced to the show, a lot of people automatically start speculating that it's someone we've already met from the past?

I mean when Locus was introduced, people started guessing that he was either Tex or Maine, based off very little evidence whatsoever. Hell, I've been reading comments on the Red vs Blue videos and there are STILL some people who think that Locus is the Meta.

Then after Felix was introduced, of course people started speculating that he was someone we knew. One comment I read suggested that he was a Freelancer like Georgia. Again, based off very little evidence. Because apparently it's easier to believe that yet another Freelancer is conveniently involved, rather than believe that the new character might in fact -GASP- be someone new.

And now there's this thing with Dr Grey where again, people automatically guess that it's someone we know, based off barely any evidence. Of course people should be allowed to speculate, and if this was a one time thing then I wouldn't care. But this is a reoccurring thing. It's happening with almost every new character that gets introduced. It really bugs me how so many of the Red vs Blue community can't let go of the past. Like those people who are pissed that the recent episode featured the return of Carolina instead of Tex.

Also, I don't know why people are bothering to critisise the CGI, considering that the Red vs Blue CGI has never been that good to begin with. Sure it's a different animation style, but it still looks way better than what they had in the previous seasons.
