...oh my god. That is amazing. I wish I had the time and attention span to watch that much all at once. XD One season is the max I can usually sit for.
It was really interesting to watch so much back-to-back to compare the pacing. Recreation felt so slow at one episode a week, but as a season as a whole it feels just about right. While I love Recon and think it's pretty much the most awesome thing ever, it feels way too fast when sandwiched between 5 and Recreation, and our newbie to the show said it was like a complete information overload. Which it sort of is, I remember thinking that to some degree as well the first time. But then I immediately went and watched the commentary, and re-watched the season again the next day, and only then did I really get everything out of it. I still prefer it to Recreation, but the sequel is excellent when taken as a whole, moreso than it did piece by piece.
Maybe once some time passes, I'll find some time to watch it all and be able to sit still long enough to accomplish that. Winter break will probably be my best bet of that, depending on if I end up at home or the apartment. Until then, I shall take your word for it.
Okay so I just rewatched it. It didn't feel quite as awesome this time - apparently its awesome is not retained as well as Reconstruction's was. But that's fine - Recon is hard to top. Anyway, next season will clearly have angry Epsilon firin' fis revenge lazorz at some point, based on the dialogue. I look forward to this immensely. Also, I look forward to Church and Tex coming back, obviously.
I won't be surprised if they use Church's theme as the dvd credits music as well as the web finale music - it is one epic song and the latest version sounds brilliant. They sure do like to use it though - watching all the RvB that I have lately, I took special notice of when that song crops up in the series, out of mere curiosity. It is absolutely everywhere, sometimes in situations that have very little to do with Church or the ifrags, because it is just so cool-sounding.
Man, I want Epsilon to rage all over next season for every little thing. The guy has as much to be pissed about as Wash does. Maybe they'll have some kind of epic showdown of inner RAGE.
I want the DVD so I can see how pretty it is. And the Shorts DVD. And well, all their DVDs since they have that sale going on right now, sob.
Especially given how he really seems to believe he's Church right now. Anger just follows naturally. Though why he does, when he knew he was Epsilon while posing as Delta, is a little strange. It's also a possibly relevant note that he seems to believe he's Church, as in, not Alpha but the young Director. Though I suppose that will change when he accesses his memories. But still, that he seems to have abandoned his self-identity as Epsilon is a little strange.
Yes. And the new Trocadero album. I want that a lot.
Well, if he's the Alpha's memories, that means he probably has a vague sense of being the "Director" and not Private Church. Caboose constantly talking to him about things Church has done and everyone later referring to him as Church may have helped with that slip from thinking of himself as Epsilon to Church.
Anyway, I found it more weird that everyone was talking about Epsilon like he was Church, than Epsilon thinking he was Church since it could be explained simply as Epsilon is cuckoo. XD;
Weirdest part was when Caboose was all, "We've got to get Church!" and "You say that and we always lose him!" to Tucker. It's beyond just saying he's Church, they seem to be referencing past things with Epsilon as Church.
It makes me intensely worried that we won't get real Church back at all; that they'll just resurrect a version of him via Epsilon. I don't know why that bugs me so much, but it does. Also WHERE IS TEX AGH.
I don't think they will, but I wouldn't put it past Caboose to try since he was making a Frankenstein robot body, probably for Epsilon to inhabit. And I wish I knew the answer to that, sob.
... sob, the interview is depressing me slightly. And I haven't even heard it. They're still live but should be wrapping up soon so I'm just going to wait for it to get posted, but the little snippets of commentary on the forums have me greatly concerned.
People had tons of questions for him, that's for sure. I can't wait for two hours of Burnie infodump goodness, myself, even if some of it depresses me.
Okay well maybe it will get posted sometime... later. I don't know what their schedule usually is like but Jenga signed out and now people are just chatting. Burnie went to bed about half an hour ago.
