<p>I'm pretty sure they built the character models from scratch in Maya/Poser. Then they composited the Maya animation with the machinima for certain shots. In-game footage was shot separately from the animation. </p><p>Hope that answers your question. </p>

<p>I actually like this idea better. </p>

I wouldn't mind doing that. It could be pretty beneficial. Let's see what anyone else thinks.

<p>Some of the reasons he's acting like a jerk are justified. He scolds Grif over the fact that Grif abandoned them when they needed him. Then Grif tries to save them and "fails";  </p><p>And why should Tucker thank Sarge? Sarge betrayed the Reds and Blues first, and Tucker doesn't like getting betrayed. Sarge wasn't acting bad, he really turned bad (with Temple tricking him). It's just character development for Tucker (whether you see it as good or bad is your opinion). </p>

Church could only possess those with neural implants in their heads/helmets. The only characters with neural implants are Project Freelancer personnel: Freelancers and the sim troopers.

Not sure exactly. I mean he technically quit.

<p>Right now we have songs for the series' main themes, Blood Gulch Blues and Contact. I'm assuming because they have larger significance compared to other songs of RvB. I wouldn't mind having pages for every song used in RvB, though it would take a lotta work. If the other admins decide aginst it, I'm fine with that too as well </p>

<p>Carolina and Four Seven Niner discussed the dive bomb in S10, Carolina and Dr. Grey had a conversation on Carolina's leg, there was Tex and South's little quarrel in S10 too, and South and Four Seven Niner's talk at the end of Recovery One. Just throwing out some examples </p>

I'm not sure if they were hired by Hargrove himself. If he wasn't CEO of Charon Ind. at the time of the PFL saga it would be unlikely for him to be the one to hire them.

<p>It's explained in the Red vs. Blue: The Ultimate Fan Guide book </p>

<p>Oh. Hmmm, I don't know why they didn't go with the Halo 4 look, it would've made better sense. It would've actually look modified. Good point. I kinda thought they would've gone that route. </p>

<p>They haven't saved it, their planet is still under attack. While Hargrove doesn't need to be killed, he needs to stopped from killing the BGC, and he wasn't. And what's stopping him from sending his own personal focres to attack the people of Chorus? That's an obstacle that needs to be overcome since he's the main villain of trilogy. The people of Chorus aren't totally safe until authorities come or Hargrove flees. He isn't gonna stop unless our heroes stop him. The main thing that was resolved was that his crimes were revealed. Does he get arrested? Does he escape? Do the Reds and Blues survive? There's no resolution because the conflict with Hargrove isn't resolved. I feel that they should've at least showed that.  </p><p>We don't get to see what happens to these characters after all of this is taken care of. We're just supposed to assume it. All because we're supposed to understand the idea that a hero doesn't see the results of their actions, so neither should the audience. Well, if these events are picked up in another season then that kinda defeats the purpose of that whole idea, because we, as an audience, <u>will</u> see the results of Epsilon's sacrifice. Epsilon won't be there to witness it, but WE eventually will. I feel it would make more sense if maybe Tucker died over Epsilon. He's had more focus placed on him over the course of the trilogy so it would be more emotional. We've been following him and have grown an emotional connection with him based on everything he's been through. </p><p>What if <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2</i> ended with Voldermort killing Harry in the forest. Both characters would be sacrificing themselves so their loved ones don't get hurt. That wouldn't be satisfying because the main villain wasn't overcome. There's no resolution. Things just end. What if things ended right after Doyle sacrificed himself? There would still be other characters that need closure. </p><p>I was satisfied with how Locus and Felix went out personally. Their stories came full circle. Although, I think they way they executed the whole 'Felix is afraid of Locus' thing was vague. He's not really afraid of Locus, I think he's afraid of not being in control; like not having Locus on his side. He tries to make Locus seem like the crazy one in order to cope and justify the horrible things he's done. If Felix ran to the Reds and Blues, say Sarge, Simmons and Grif, the others could've simply shot at him, giving the 3 Reds time to back up and detonate the grenade. Whenever Felix was fighting Carolina or Wash, Locus was always there to back him up. Or at the very least, Felix knew Locus was somewhere around to give him back up. </p><p>For me, especially after seeing the finale, the Chorus Trilogy was alright. I have the same feeling with it as I do with the Project Freelancer saga: mixed. S11 was okay, S12 is one of my favorite RvB seasons, and S13 was okay but had a poor end, IMO. </p>

<p>I didn't like it. I liked everything in the episode until that point. It felt underwhelming that Church died in a season where he wasn't even the main focus. I felt cheated. They kill off a main character and don't even further develop his character the season he dies. He should've died in a season where he is the main protagonist. I understand why we don't get to see the result of the fight (or the fight itself) because the hero technically isn't alive to see the results of their actions. While clever and a new take on self-sacrifice, this wasn't the time to do it. </p><p>The season doesn't focus on Epsilon deteriorating and finally coming to the conclusion that he must off himself. It's hinted at a few times, but I feel one more season would've given that subplot a full, if not better effect. The season is about the Feds and Rebels learning to work together in order to reach a common goal: saving their planet. This is their story. We've spent so much time learning and connecting to these characters, we don't even get to see them celebrate, have someone find them, or stop Hargrove. I wanted to see them get what they want. I wanted a resolution to this <u>entire</u> trilogy. </p><p>Sure they may continue where they left off in a later season, but why couldn't they have just done that now? It'd be kinda weird to start off the first act of a new season with the characters realizing their freind's gone, and their still fighting Hargrove, who has already lost. I could get over not seeing a fight, it's not about having a final battle or anyhting. I just hate how this trilogy ends on a character who was never a main protagonist in any of the Trilogy's seasons. </p><p>I also personally kinda felt that Church just gave up. I mean, Doc has a rocket launcher, Grif has his brute shot, Lopez and Simmons have two pairs of alien weapons, Donut is sick with grenades, Caboose has Freckles, and Tucker has a modified Meta suit. I mean how powerful are Hargrove's forces? Couldn't Church have simply activate a domed energy shield to protect everyone? He didn't have to use all the enhancements at once; he just needed to use what he could. Hell, it's not like Tucker was going to push him like Carolina did. </p><p>Another note, after Meta captured Epsilon-Tex in Reunion, she was able to run all of Meta's enhancements on her own. Though I suppose she wasn't as old as Epsilon but she was a fragment of a fragment, right? Wouldn't she be weaker? I don't know. Also, in S12, we see Epsilon is able to harness and use the memories of the other AI. He seemed to be at his most powerful being able to do things super fast. The stakes, IMO, weren't high enough for Church to die. </p><p>I think the trailer pretty much ruined everything. It indicated that, since Epsilon was narrating the entire thing and his last lines being about how he died, Church was going to be the main character of S13. But nope, he wasn't. Instead we got more development from Locus, Felix, Doyle, Kimball, and Carolina than we did with Church. They felt more like the main protagonists. It feels as if they had to force the whole Church dying thing because they brought it up in the trailer. And what killed him? He was too old to run the suit. Um... didn't Epsilon kill himself already while inside Wash's head? All the way back in Recovery One? Did he just kill himself again? </p><p>Overall, this season needed a resolution to ALL the characters, not just Epsilon, because it's (or <i>was</i>) supposed to wrap up everything in the Trilogy. If they wanted to end it like this, they should've put more focus on Epsilon throughout the span of the season, at least. But they didn't. That's why I was unsatisfied with this ending. This isn't Epsilon's story. </p>

<p>I'm completely indifferent about it. I understand and appreciate the meaning behind it, as well as RT's balls for doing it, but it didn't feeling like a complete ending to me. Especially since this was supposed to end an entire saga and we may not see what happens until S15. I wanted an epilogue; some kind of resolution. </p><p>I know a lot of people liked it, but me... yeah. </p>
