"Hey man we need some fight music for s17 of red vs blue when carolina is fighting herself"
and then levy went and wrote one of the best pieces of action music i've ever heard like it's just another fuckin tuesday

seriously the drop at 1:30 and the build at 2:30 as it flashes to the freelancer leaderboard, where it's only carolina with the rest of the spots blank and flickering (all flickering, except for Wash's spot!) is just. it's sublime
i've gotten to pfl in my rewatch and god. wash really was this silly dude with so much light in his voice during the flashbacks. do you think it shocked carolina when she found him in valhalla and something inside of him had broken permanently. do you think she recognized that same guy she served with, the guy who made sarcastic little comments on missions and flailed around, in the man who shot donut in cold blood and put a gun to her head when he thought she was going too far. i think, maybe, she saw too much of herself in him. and i think that would hurt.
