message: I just finished a major rewrite of the Season 1 summaries (thanks to Drat for some additional revisions and corrections). Some things that might warrant explanation, in no particular order:
* In conformance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style, I spelled out CPR and AI the first time that they were used.
* There doesn't seem to be a need or a precedent to put everything in parentheses in italics as well, so I removed the italics.
* In episode 10, it's not readily apparent that Church doesn't eventually get to finish the guts of what he wanted to say, so I deleted the part of Caboose being the cause of that. (Besides, Church himself wastes some time with the fake haunting voice.)
* Episode 19: At the point where Church leaves Red base to help Tex, he couldn't be shocked at Tex's death because she wasn't dead yet, only dying.
* Judging from the name of the linked article, the Wikipedia-standard spelling for the term used for killing one's own teammate appears to be team killing (two words).
* In episode 15, Church mentions both $10 and $5 to Sarge, so I changed the wording to simply "for a fee".
* A big part of this revision was improving the transitions from the description of one event to the next within an episode. There might be yet better wordings; feel free to take a stab if you want.

message: While watching this and following episodes, many viewers often ask the simple question, "Why not pull the trigger?"  Church, who has a sniper rifle and is using it to monitor the activity at the Red Base, has an unimpeded view of Grif and Simmons and has no reason to not simply shoot the two characters.  The producers themselves ask this question while commenting on episode 12, noting that Caboose could easily shoot Grif while the latter is entering the Red Base.Rooster Teeth Productions (2003).

I removed the above paragraph from the summary because it didn't really seem specific to the episode, or, indeed, the season in particular, and I couldn't find a way to reword it to make it fit. Maybe this better belongs in Red vs Blue production, or in a Themes section of the Red vs Blue? — TKD::Talk 21:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks. It seems like a good idea. But to keep it tidy, try wrapping the links around the headline of each video's section. So, it's be like ===Trailer===. Thanks alot. -- Viewdrix 18:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Good Idea?

message: The title of the final episode, "Last one out, Het the Lights," could have helped inspire a sub mission (Last One Out Get the Lights) from the Halo 3 level Crow's Nest. Worth mentioning?Iron Dullahan (talk) 21:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The title of the episode "1.21 Giga-Whats?!" is a possible reference to a Freespace cutscene.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.223.118 (talk) 02:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Without a reliable source, that's original analysis, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. If any source exists (which is unlikely, given the track record for such things), it would probably state that the reference is to the DeLorean time machine. But again, a source is needed. — TKD::{talk} 02:54, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
