User blog comment:Western Gen/Speculations for Season 14/@comment-1886172-20160605052912

Well, with the first main storyarc of this season out of the way, that being The Prequels, I've gotta say these are probably the best trilogy of prequels that I've ever seen, and I even liked Star Wars! Still though, each of the three honestly felt like they could have been written during The Blood Gulch Chronicles and honestly that's something that I've missed. There are honestly no negatives that I can come up with regarding these three episodes, they were hilarious while also keeping a disturbing background to them. In my opinion, these past few seasons haven't lived up to the hype of the Reds and Blues like the older seasons would, honestly the last time I enjoyed the core cast this much was Revelation, ever since Season 9 the main focus and interesting plot elements seem to come entirely from Freelancers and Mercenaries, and our characters have just lost their charm in my opinion. This would be fine and all, who doesn't love character development, if it would be consistent and not have characters suddenly regress for the sake of a gag or joke.

But that's not what this post should be about, it should be about the great three episodes that we just recieved. They honestly made me wish that there was a bit more Flowers in this series, while I loved him before he was mostly just a gag character centered around his kind nature, I loved seeing this darker side to him and wish that we'd had maybe one more prequels episode, or maybe just the entire season be prequel episodes. Maybe have an episode to better describe Tex's place in Blood Gulch, like explain that she went along with the ghost idea because she didn't want to bring any more trauma to the Alpha, or just explain why Vic called for her when she was no longer a part of Project Freelancer, I mean I suppose that she'd definitely be the agent who wants to protect him most, but how would they get ahold of her. But other than that I guess there isn't TOO much that could have been done with the prequel idea, it was apparently calm until Flower's mysterious death, and I wonder how that happened what with Church traveling through time being retconned.

So what did everyone else think about these three episodes?
