Awful, awful season. Miles has really done a half-decent job with this one. (Though RWBY is top notch, theres no genre-conflict in that) He pulled another Season 9, trying to match the comedy with the action equally. Its just piss poor.

The earlier parts to the season were very good, and could have made for a very excellent change in the series dynamic, from action heavy "Freelancer Saga" to good ol' RvB comedy. Just as Season 9 could have been, without the Freelancer bits.

The alien scene in season 3 worked, it was pure comedy, and a satirical take on most action films. But this whole Civil War thing, its too try hard. It appeared, and they expected us to act like it was actual RvB.

Well its not RvB anymore. Its "The Freelancer Show: featuring the cast of blood gulch" (Which also stars Gustavo Sorola the 3rd as Gus) When do we see actual conflict between the reds and blues again? Season 9 was close, but the Freelancer saga ruined that. I could understand the Recollections trilogy (6, 7 & 8), they were a nice break from the comedy seasons 1-5, but since then, RT has tried to keep it alive, ruining the show more and more.

To make this whole show better again, scrap the civil-war plot and turn it into another one of Caboose's mind fantasies, that'll hit the fans hard in the good spot, then go back to 2 teams in the middle of a box canyon, to completely throw people off balance, a change that size works.

In other words: Its a rip off from every action movie that had the words "Star" and "Wars" as well as "Empire"
