A new direction for RVB
In Season 8, we continue the story of "Reconstruction." Some old characters return (including Doc), and we finally discover the fate of Tex. Just as in the preceding two seasons, the story is more plot-driven, and less an excuse to move the characters from one ridiculous situation to another. The problem is, the plot still doesn't make much sense. We could forgive that in the days when this was almost purely a comedy, but when the writers ventured into more dramatic territory, they should have begun filling all those holes in the plot.
The characters are still fun though, and the show is as full of laughs as ever. In some of these episodes, Sarge really steals the show, and he has some of his best lines and most interesting growth as a character in this season. Church also has some wonderful moments in the finale, and this was the season that I realized (maybe I should have before) that Church and Caboose really ARE best friends, no matter how much the former denies...
I Love It!
What I say? It has epic fight scenes, great twist moments, incredible humor, tons of special features and it's very well written. This is the best red vs blue season yet and it's a great holiday gift. This is a legit peice of art that is very addicting and I can't wait until season 9!
RvB's newest is great
Season 8 is probably the best season since the Blood Gulch Chronicles ended, yet for all of the plot involved at this point, the humor and character interaction remains very well-written and worth watching. Basically, if you're a fan of Red vs. Blue, pick this up.
