 ====== Red VS Blue ======
+{{ img:b:r:rvb.png?460 }}
 **Red VS Blue** is a Texan [[lb:Halo]] machinima webseries about two groups of soldiers – the **Reds** and the **Blues** – who are locked in an eternal war until they aren't. Despite being listed second, the **blues** are the more important faction for the story overall.

 The first season is kinda rough in hindsight and feels a little out of place when you consider everything else (Sarge doesn't really sound like Sarge for example).
-However, this is also the origin of “Hey.” “Yeah?” “You ever wonder why we're here?”

 ==== Season 2 ====
 The second season feels similarly rough, though not to the same degree.

 I'll probably think of more to say later.
+==== Season 6 ====
+Re-watching this again so long after seeing it for the first time (and an initial re-watch)...it's surprising how it //feels very short//. It doesn't feel like anything really happened, which I think is because it was mostly setup for Seasons 7-10.
+If you don't count Out of Mind or Recovery One, this is the season that established most of the more ‘serious’ lore of Red vs Blue. But it's also very clearly a transitional series from the older more comedic stuff to the far more serious stuff. I think it mostly works, though...again, mostly setup. It's a bit like Season 4.
+I guess my brain mentally categorizes Seasons 6-8 as one continuous season, rather than as separate things. Which is fitting I guess.
+There is also a lot of great foreshadowing for the <wrap spoiler>final twist that Church is an AI</wrap spoiler>.
+==== Season 7 ====
+I'll add something here later.
 ==== Season 14 ====
 I mostly don't have an issue with Season 14, with a few exceptions. I don't like the episodes that show the assembling of the crew in Blood Gulch...though, don't get me wrong, I have no problem with //most// of the content there. What bothers me is that a lot of the characters (prior to Blood Gulch) are depicted as having killed people. I can’t articulate exactly why this bothers me, but I don't think it meshes well with what we know about the Reds and the Blues.
+==== Mini-Series ====
+=== Out of Mind ===
+Out of Mind is the first mini-series, though I realized on my re-watch that...it was done in Halo 2 and not CE.
+Watching it now is very strange, since a lot of the events were retconned.((:fn:>Though I was thinking about it and I think that RvB is one of the few examples of a series that manages to handle retcons fairly well, despite essentially re-writing events.\\ I'll elaborate later.))
+=== Recovery One ===
+Recovery One is the second mini-series (‘sfar as I know) and it follows Washington in his role. It takes place right after //Out of Mind// and right before Season 6.
+I think it's alright. Nothing much happens, but it does explain how Delta got from position A (York's corpse) to position B (South). Among other things.
+=== Relocation ===
+More to be added later.
 ===== Characters & Worldbuilding =====
 //Red vs. Blue// takes place in the [[lb:Halo]] universe...kind of. It's more like a derivative.\\
