From Psi edit
Dosnt episode 49 seem to have to much of a summary? I think it would be better if it was shorter.

[edit] Deletion
This page, as well as the two other "seasons" are fancruft par excellance. This is completely unencyclopedic and it's only existence on Wikipedia should be in the form of a link to a fan-page. --TheGrza 06:44, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite
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.

[edit] A note about the cast list for season 1
I used the "official" cast list as stated on the back of the season 1 DVD and on the season 1 poster. — TKD::Talk 15:08, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I removed this paragraph
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.<ref name="S1DVDComment">Rooster Teeth Productions (2003). Audio commentary. In ''Red vs Blue Season One'' [DVD]. Buda, Texas: Rooster Teeth Productions.</ref>
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)
