Yall are so wrong about the chorus trilogy. They literally have locus and Felix parallel Carolina and Washington.
They have overlapping strengths that make them equal matches for each other in fights and just in general, but their flaw/struggles? flipped.
Carolina is constantly overestimating her abilities, especially in the chorus trilogy. She is using Epsilon to fulfill a gap between her ability and her perception of herself. That's literally felix's whole struggle in the chorus trilogy! That he continues to fail and uses Locus as a crutch to maintain his view of himself. They both are capable on their own but they constantly push boundaries beyond their own limits. They don't really interact with each other or affect each other's choices but the parallel is definitely intentional.
Washington and Locus are very much the same way! Washington made the poor choices he's made because he felt like he had to. Even with Washington not being a "good soldier" during freelancer, that parallels Locus too.
During the trial flashback Locus is arguing with what the group is doing, he was an idealist out of his depth! Like Washington was. I'd argue that's why Locus gets so obsessed with Washington. He doesn't understand why they have such a similar background but Washington is able to be so detached from the system that turned him into a soldier. He thinks Washington is stupid for it, and once he starts having doubts about if maybe *he's* wrong he tries to kill and avoid Washington at all costs. He hates how unaffected Wash is.
Then! He tries to turn his attention to Maine, surely a perfect weapon that wanted to be that way that he can use to justify his choices! Then price shuts that down, says Maine just wanted to be human.
Locus has to look somewhere else for why he is the monster he is. He tries to see what makes Felix stay the way he is, in the same boat, only to find out that it's him. That they keep eachother like this, The thing his trial was trying to tell him, and more importantly that Felix can't keep him like this if he just chooses to stop.
Its just so.. not about Washington.
That's also ignoring the very obvious reason why he gets focused on Wash instead of Carolina. (He's gay)

RVB Trek MAP part. My mania knows no bounds
Copy pasted from description of the video: 
“The story in this part revolves around Sharkface, the half-Andorian half-Romulan, and Washington, the Vulcan, in an adaptation of Sharkface's death scene from Season 13, Episode 16 of RvB. Except the canon way that Sharkface died fills me with rage, so in MY version Wash instead shoots him in the leg and leaves, acknowledging both the horrors that Freelancer and Wash/Carolina in particular have done to Sharkface, but also recognizing that he's an active threat and can't just be left to run around. Afterward it shows the ways in which they've all dealt with their trauma - Wash and Carolina have turned away from the path of revenge to find healthy relationships, in each other and in people like Kimball (the Bajoran). While Sharkface, still hellbent on revenge and suicidal determination, has been left alone and bleeding on his runabout, at a loss for what to do with himself now.”

happy Carolina gives me life 💙
finally getting around to the final lines.. this is probably going to take months to finish and you know what. that's okay. I need to go at my own pace. I think I burnt myself out last summer churning art and fic out at such a rapid pace... and now with the impending doom of having bodily autonomy rights ripped out from under us in the us I'm not doing very much creatively bc all of my energy is going to staving off anxiety, and trying to find ways to be useful with my limited resources.
so. here's a link to velocirocktor to accompany this.... and take care of yourselves 💜

thoughts while rewatching season 15
It looks like they uploaded a bad copy for season 15 it has a lot of weird glitches. I don't have copies beyond season 10 so it will have to do.
I prefer the original camera guy Frank to Jax
a feeling I get a lot this season is how it could have worked, like it could have been interesting
Jax is Tv tropes, and it might have worked if it was just him
I've said this before S9 but I'll says it again I'd rather have seen the vacation than this reporter stuff it could have defiantly been it own season. The finally could have been the robots vs Dinosaurs. You can't tell me that wouldn't have been cool. The recap is the best part of this season
"Malarkey won" enough said, how is this not rvb?
the r&b rushing to save Church
Why is Tucker so hype to lead? Why isn't it Sarge? Is it because he has become crazy? if only we saw this character development instead of having a recap. It's especially weird with what they do with Tucker next season
While funny, the child support twit is lame, and the guy is unnecessary confusing. I mean he was shooting the blues&reds before saying he does no harm
Sarge has become stupid. Temple is good at manipulating
was Wash really the only one to turn off the recovery beacon? I mean they were hiding from the government to not be arrested? Also isn't the new armor made after the director died? (Oh wait, they actually answer the last later)
Yeah lets talk about all of Carolina development . . . what development? Did it happen offscreen? Why did you make a 3 hour long season and not show us anything instead of just recapping? They summaries the attacks, they recap what the reds&blues were doing, They speed run though Temple motives. I get that it turns out this was just Jax retelling but still for the season obsessed with movies they don't understand show not tell
Who has the idiot ball? Carolina or the r&bs? Temple does have a point we're told earlier that the press doesn't care & the government hasn't done shit for the sims troopers. Even the most famous ones (the blood crew) still haven't been sent home from their fake war
How did Wash not notice the armor corpses? or hippy peace no shoot Carolina? Carolina why did you put away your guns? Just shoot him! You know like you did with did with Sharkface? WASH
Everything we know about Temple Tell me that he totally would have monolog to Carolina the person who KILL Biff about his past. Though he and others suddenly became different characters in the last few minutes so maybe he just forgot his personality, maybe Carolina stole it so we wouldn't her blandness
This could have worked if given more time. As it is it feels rushed yet dragged out.
speaking of dragged out I'ma dragged this out since still have about a page of more thoughts to type out and I don't feel like typing anymore

RVB Chosen Ones!
Carolina and Doc take this responsibility very seriously. Donut takes it seriously, but with some whimsy in there... O'Malley is SERIOUSLY going to have some FUN! By being EVIL!
Sarge, Caboose, and Flowers are going to have a good time! It might not be a good time for everybody else, though...
Depending on what she's actually chosen FOR, Kai will either have fun or not care. Tex and Sharkface just shrug; yeah, sure, whatever, let's get this over with
Locus doesn't really WANT to do this. He will if he has to, and will probably succeed, but he has to have a whole guilt-trip over how he doesn't "deserve" to be chosen first
Church is in denial. He only wants to be special when it is convenient to complain about it. Unfortunately, he is VERY special, every version of him. It sucks
Grif and Lopez do NOT want this hot potato. Wash doesn't either, but he will sigh, and do it anyway
Tucker has been the chosen one 20 times already

So I've got some thoughts for my RvB gang.
I had a thought recently. I found Sharkface to be an extremely boring villain. Like he was cool(ish) and the jokes about how edy he was trying to be were funny(ish) but. You know who would have been more fun? The dude with the robot arm.
Think about it - the guy was shot by Carolina and left behind on a drilling rig that blew up, and survived. He tanked a MAC round from orbit and all he lost was his right arm. They've set up a perfect villain here. Claiming he literally can't die would be so funny! Every time he appears he dies, then he just shows back up with yet another robotic prosthetic. His whole subplot is that he just desperately wants to die, and he finally figured out that the pyramid thing is his only shot at finally getting his wish. The problem is that he would also wipe out the rest of life as we know it if he did that.
Anyway, the background subplot is what's really important here. Carolina is being hunted down by a shadowy figure. Evidence points to him being another hired gun working with the pirates. He is always half a step behind her, getting closer and closer to tracking her down.
Eventually in the climax, the hitman catches up to Carolina. They go through an intense duel, where he seems to be able to anticipate all of her best moves and counteract them. Finally, she manages to hit the guy hard enough to knock off his helmet.
It's York.
Then we get some backstory - when York was shot going after Wyoming, Delta turned on his healing unit. He then told Tex that York was dying. As soon as she left Delta woke York back up, got him to swap armor with one of the grunts, and disappear.
So York spent several months slowly recovering. During that time, life finally beat him. He didn't have his armor, he didn't have his healing unit anymore, and he didn't have Delta to keep him coming. He finally gave up on the dream of finding Carolina alive somewhere.
So instead, he decided it was high time someone finally killed Director Church. He would kill the man who took everything he'd ever loved - admittedly, in a roundabout sort of way - from him. Only when he tracked the director down, he found hundreds of dead Allison lookalikes and archive footage of yet another cheap robot replacement killing the Director - except this time Church went to far. He made a replacement of her. He couldn't even let his own daughter's memory find peace.
So, York ended up with a new goal: kill the robot that had stolen Carolina's face (armor). End it once and for all. Bring some closure for the girl that he loved so much but never got to keep.
After all of this revelation, we finally get York and Carolina's big happy ending. I don't know how they beat the immortal robo guy, but mostly I just care about my Yorkalina angst and resolutions.
Anyway. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts. And... should I write this at some point? Let me know.

Okay, so post season 13 on my rewatch and I have a lot of the same complaints I did when I initially watched it.
The main thing being the pay off of Tucker's development as a leader and the parallels that were set up. I'll maybe get into it more later, but the Felix/Locus/Sharkface set up to Tucker/Wash/Carolina just didn't feel satisfying. I don't think it would make sense to have Tucker on the same level as the freelancers but it would have felt more narrative satisfying to see him hold up more of a fight. Him eventually leaning on his friends to help him win opposed to Felix being alone would have still worked, it would have just been nice to see just a bit more resolution to all of his training and experience.
I do think the Carolina and Wash vs Felix and Locus fight has great moments, but narratively it just feels out of place for me. I wish they had maybe had more time to explore what was set up with Sharkface and The Counsilor with Carolina. The fact that Carolina and Wash don't even know that the Counsilor was working with the space pirates was also a big let down.
I didn't get this feeling the first time, but having Wash go back to gray armor really feels like it's distancing him from the Reds and Blues and kind of walking him back from where he was at the end of season 10. I was talking with my sister and we both agreed that we wish he'd maybe gotten his own shade of blue armor (if available with us not knowing anything about Halo) instead of going back to Church's.
The Chorus Trilogy is still one of my favorite parts of the whole series though. It has a lot of great moments and still really love the characters and lore that were introduced. Dr. Grey is a delight to have on screen whenever she's there and the Lieutenants are always a joy to see. And of course I fell in love with Kimball all over again.
Once we start season 15 we'll be getting to territory that I haven't seen cause I fell off during the anthology season. I'm hesitant based on some spoilers but I want to give it a fair shot. The plan is to get to RvB: Zero, but we'll see.

I'm thinking about price again my dudes. like I honestly don't think he was a bad guy or that he had bad intentions. he—like everyone else involved in project freelancer—choose to wholeheartedly believe in the director, and he genuinely thought that an out of the box/unconventional solution like project freelancer could've been the key to winning the war.
I also think that he did genuinely want the best for the freelancers, and that his psychological experiments were not intended to result in the outcomes that they did. I don't think price wanted to see /his/ freelancer agents that he personally hand-picked fail—or continually be put into positions that would result in failure, but, unfortunately, he was at the mercy of the director's whims and a fundamentally broken system as much as the agent's themselves were.
when I look at the way he interacts with wash in recovery one and s6, I don't see someone who is doing what he is solely due to underlying ulterior motives. like don't get me wrong, price didn't trust wash, and the extensive therapy sessions did have hidden agendas, but I think he really did want to see wash up and running again, and he does express some level of remorse over the whole epsilon incident along with south betraying wash and shooting him in the back. but again, unfortunately for price, he's dealing with a man who already had an inherent dislike of people poking around inside his head, who also doesn't want to beat around the bush and deal with all of price's bullshit therapy jargon because he's fine, so just give him a gun and tell him where to shoot.
at the end of s6, price wanted to negotiate with wash and meta, but unfortunately (for the umpteenth time), he was dealing with 3 people who were far past the point of negotiating and already had their minds made up. wash was prepared to die if it meant the destruction of freelancer and the meta, the meta was prepared to do anything he was asked if it would lead him to the alpha, and the director was prepared to continue using his agent's to carry out his personal agenda and eliminate those who got in his way.
then price gets sent to jail, left to rot by the man who he trusted. some years pass and he hears about how a group of colorful soldiers brought the director to justice, and then the prison transport ship he's called home gets hijacked by some mercenaries, and finding himself free (relatively speaking) for the first time in a very long time, he decides he's not taking any chances.
sharkface was doomed to die—price made sure to direct his single focused rage and desire for revenge towards agent carolina, for she had always been an empathetic and deeply caring woman even if she wasn't the best at showing it, and her competitive nature was an easy and obvious exploit. unfortunately for sharkface though, with all of his attention on carolina, that meant that agent washington would fall off his radar, and he would have no problem delivering the finishing blow that carolina herself couldn't—wash is a pragmatic man first and foremost, and he has no qualms about killing people if they pose a danger to himself and those close to him, and unlike carolina he only let's his emotions get the better of him in the field when he can logically justify his actions to himself as being unrelated to his feelings.
locus is a man who has been irreparably scarred by the great war along with so many others, and he has no sense of identity outside of being a soldier. his interest (and subsequent disappointment and anger) over agent washington not accepting him as a fellow soldier is very telling. price wonders what locus would think if he told him that agent washington had been court-martialed and demoted prior to being recruited for freelancer for disobeying orders and attacking his CO.
when locus has a sudden interest in the meta, he decides to take the opportunity to sow the seeds of doubt and open locus' eyes to the truth of his partnership with felix, and how the other man wants locus to stay a broken, mindless soldier when he does not need to be one. after all, price is and always will be a counselor, and while he thoroughly failed at his job in the past due to things that were both in and out of his control, here he sees a chance to do some good and make amends on his own terms.
