Line 15:
** Or maybe Church realized what he was and went along with it. In that moment before the AIs, he probably learned what he truly was. And I suppose that's something he wanted more than anything else.
*** More than living?
** Also, [[EM Ps]] don't necessarily destroy computers, they shut them down (like when Sarge modified the Warthog to use the EMP for more power--itpower—it didn't destroy it every time, it just shut it down for a while). So the idea was probably to shut down the [[A Is]] until they could be safely rebooted in isolation somewhere.
*** Then why does [[Word of God]] say {{spoiler|the Alpha is gone}} is my question...
**** Perhaps they're lying? It's not unheard of for creators to intentionally give out misinformation so that the fans don't actually know what's going on until the creators are ready for the big pay off where we find out what really happened.
Line 272:
** Not everyone has a conscience, friend.
** Plus, they didn't seem to be too bothered. How many times have Grif and Tucker been blown up / beaten / shot?
** [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]. Especially [[Bureaucrats Are Evil|bureaucrats]].
** The Director also had absolutely no problem whatsoever with torturing to the point of insanity an AI based on his own mind--andmind—and while he may not have treated {{spoiler|Agent Tex}} as badly, he certainly didn't treat the AI {{spoiler|sort of}} based on his lost love with too much care or respect either. Why should he care any more for the humans under his command?
*** Yeah, but not everyone at "Command" knew about Alpha being tortured. The Director and the Chairman knew, and probably the engineers involved knew, but the Freelancer agents certainly didn't know. It seemed like a pretty classified thing. I guess it just bugs me that the freelancers (especially the non-evil ones like Wash and York) could go into an RVB base and start blowing guys up as part of their "training."
*** Well actually it goes a bit further, in this Troper's opinion the Director is legitimately insane, losing Allison was so devastating to him that he has completely detached from reality.
Line 417:
 
* Why does Carolina call Epsilon!Church "Alpha" in the finale? If she was working with the [[Rv B]] guys, including Wash I'm assuming, wouldn't she know it was Epsilon and not the original Alpha?
** [[Word of God]] is, Carolina doesn't care if he's Alpha or Epsilon. She needs him to get to the Director (probably because he can get through Freelancer security) but she doesn't care about him more than that. Which leads to an interesting contrast between Wash and Carolina--WashCarolina—Wash may not like Church, exactly, but at the end of the day, the reason he's against the Director is because of what the Director did to the Alpha. By contrast, Carolina's presumably in it for what the Director did to ''her.''
* Who is the soldier in blue armor who appears in the background of some scenes, such as the "planning the heist" scene? He/she was apparently considered important enough to appear on the Project Freelancer cover and DVD case.
** He's probably a pilot, like Four Seven Niner.
** In an AMA on Reddit, Burnie said we'll see more of him/her in Season 10. They could be just support personnel, but the fact that they're going to show up again does hint they could be more important--maybeimportant—maybe another Freelancer, maybe another pilot (there were two Pelicans in the heist, after all, even if Four Seven Niner's total awesomeness overshadowed the other guy's actions).
** I thought he was Church at first. Then I just went "meh" since, while he's unimportant, so are Wyoming and (ultimately) North. They're two of the least featured Freelancers of the season (North being almost a decoy protagonist)... maybe they'll do more next season, too.
** WMG has the best theory ever, for it. It's Private Jimmy from Sidewinder. It wouldn't make sense to be another pilot because he's last seen riding in Four-Seven-Niner's Pelican.
