Red vs. Blue: The Recollection/YMMV

Season 6: Reconstruction

 * Complete Monster: O'Malley/Omega, while evil, was at least both Evilly Affable and somewhat ineffectual. The Meta, however, has no such redeeming traits.
 * Agent South Dakota is a petty, self-obsessed murderer who is more than willing to betray and murder her closest friends just for the sake of personal power.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The Meta's theme, aka "(When) Your Middle Name Is Danger".
 * Epileptic Trees: For a web series created by a bunch of self-proclaimed drunk guys, Red vs. Blue seems to get a lot of plot analysis.
 * Burnie even addresses this by saying that people sometimes get the plot exactly right in the forums.
 * Although Word of God is that the above-mentioned bit isn't one of those times.
 * Fanon: Among other things, York and Maine's real names (James and Theodore, respectively,) and that Washington was a survivor of Reach.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: After Caboose leaves Rat's Nest, the blue in charge says that things are finally looking up for the team. The next time we see the Blue Base of Rat's Nest,.
 * Spotlight-Stealing Squad: From here on out, the series is for all intents and purposes about the Freelancers, and the Blood Gulch boys simply happen to be caught up in a greater drama.
 * What Could Have Been: The commentary for Reconstruction reveals that an unused alternate scene (meant to be played behind the monologue of the final episode) was to show The Meta using Omega as a projectile, causing one Freelancer security agent to kill another, then leave the other vulnerable.

Season 7: Recreation
"Delta: I believe that Agent Washington's sanity is well within acceptable deviations, for now."
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Lopez became more popular every episode, mainly because of the aforementioned reason.
 * Epileptic Trees: C.T. has created many, mostly in regards to who it was that ordered him to go to Sandtrap.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Remember this line from last season?


 * Well, by the end of Recreation,
 * He's Just Hiding: When, theories involving holograms sprang forth from the discussion boards on the site. (These were quickly Jossed.)
 * Moral Event Horizon:

Season 8: Revelation

 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: Admit it. You cheered too when you found out Monty Oum joined Rooster Teeth.

"Washington: Get them, Meta. Get them!"
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: During the showdown in Episode 10. The score can be found here. The link contains spoilers.
 * Also, the inspirational tune from Sarge's "Do you ever wonder why we're here?" Speech in episode 18.
 * The utterly epic battle in Episode 19 is accompanied by equally epic music. It's also in the credits and episode 20 and is in fact called "Red Versus Blue."
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment:
 * Ho Yay: By this point, Caboose is practically Yandere for Church. The soundtrack takes this much farther.
 * Narm

"Epsilon: Caboose: Epsilon:  Caboose:"
 * Nightmare Retardant: Before he cracked wise to his handler, lost most of his enhanced abilities, and carted around medics embedded in giant slabs of stone, The Meta was actually pretty terrifying.
 * Tear Jerker: Episode 20 provides many moments:

"Epsilon:"
 * Later, in the same scene:

"Caboose:"
 * Later...:


 * The Woobie: Caboose. When you stop to think about it, after Reconstruction, he was alone. He needed someone in his life to look up to, but without his "best friend," he was the only Blue in Valhalla. And then, by the end of this season,
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: This has been the reaction of part of the fan base towards the fancy new CGI moments. Many of the older viewers enjoyed Red vs. Blue for its use of a limited toolset (i.e. "pure" machinima) to tell stories, while others believe that the new focus on action detracts from the series' classic humor.
