User blog comment:IceFireWarden0/Speculations for Season 11/@comment-13690654-20130728110029

Just got an account, but have posted here before. I was the anon who wanted the Mantis.

Anyway, since I feel I should actually say something speculation-y in this post, how long is RT going to string out this Meta thing? Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that Mysterious Black Guy is the Meta, (Couldn't hear the growling myself) as he has no real motivation, significance, and he had enough badassery in his time to have fulfilled his role as a villain. I liked him, but we must say our goodbyes... Even if RT has a long streak of reviving dead characters. I mean, Church, Tex, Flowers, Church again, Delta, Tex again, Lopez 2.0, yes, but not the Meta.

But RT seems to be deliberately stringing this out to seem like it's the him. A similar helmet, heavy weapons, a different colour scheme to keep us guessing, and no dialogue. WHY MUST THEY TORTURE US?

But I think MB(lack)G may be at least loosely connected to an AI, not necessarily a PF one. This is because of Freckles. The giant robot has to have some sort of plot significance apart from stepping on Grif, and in case of an AI, it could be like O'Malley and his rocket launcher, kicking everyone's ass. I'm not sure whether it can be seperately piloted like Sheila, as it seems to have its own fully functioning combat systems, and Sheila only began to pilot herself after she met Lopez and became a lot more sentient. Also, Freckles does not seem to be as intelligent, as it calls Caboose "master", showing it might be a dumb AI designed to fight on its own, under orders from a superior. When you take orders from someone like Caboose, who knows what will happen... Apart from explosions, of course. And death. Then revival. Then death again.
