User blog comment:IceFireWarden0/Speculations for Season 11/@comment-5259531-20130728012404

Although I acknowledge that RT have gone out of their way to get rid of the majority of the links to Project Freelancer, I can't help wondering where the Counselor ended up. Probably prison, but it still irks me that they never revealed it. He always seemed to be by the Director's side, and still was at the end of Reconstruction, so I'm wondering why they didn't go into hiding together. Could still be in another facility, but still...

On the subject of the Meta, it has already been discussed to death and we can conclude that it is very unlikely he would return, given Miles' comments on Twitter and the closing off of the Project Freelancer story arc. Like Wes said, whether he survived the fall or not isn't the point, the point is that there would be little point in bringing him back to the story. They would want to introduce a new character or organisation, something that could spark a new saga in RvB. I doubt very much they would bring back one of the major links to the story arc they've worked so hard to close.

Basically, there's not much point in discussing the Meta any further until we have more information on the new guy. I initially thought it was the Meta, but upon reflection I think most people will realise his return is unlikely. There is no point in just bringing up the "he could be alive guys omg" argument, because that's not the issue. The issue is whether his return would bring anything to the story that we haven't seen before, and the answer to that is no.

So can we just drop the Meta shit until we have some NEW evidence from this season that would support his return? If in the next episode we see a guy with an EVA helmet and white armor and he's growling his fucking head off, then yes, you would have a solid argument. But right now, there's nothing concrete to argue that we haven't heard before.
