This is quite possible the funniest part of the show  
Sarge: “Alright Blue’s, first off, we want your flag…”

Donuts:“wait wait wait, the last time we got the flag,  
the chick in the black armour showed up.”

Sarge: "…to stay RIGHt where it is…Keep the flag.

hahahaha…basically the whole episode made me laugh for hours…as well as the previous post about pig tails and liking boys =)  
hahaha…oh man…so good 😃

K, stupid question. But in Episode 33, they are trying to kill O’malley by turning everyones radios off. Can someone clear this up a bit for me please?

Tex’s armor had some sort of aggressive sentient program attached to it that made her meaner than she already was. When she died in season one it jumped from her to Caboose via the radios that are installed in their armor. If they “kill” the program while it’s inside of Caboose all that will do is cause it to leave, and it’ll jump onto the next person via their radio. But, if everyone’s radios are off it can’t go anywhere, problem solved.

“…Except for Simmons’ spleen, which will be inflated for general recreation and esprit de corps!” I love Sarge.

No need to assume if you watch Ep. 34…

O’Malley “the Angry AI” has invaded Doc’s mind, and now he’s got an unwanted alter-ego. Too bad – he was the only remotely sane person in Blood Gulch!

Episode 35, “What’s Mine Is Yours” is up at [http://www.redvsblue.com](http://www.redvsblue.com) …

Caboose wakes up from the, ah, procedure to destroy the hostile AI that posessed him, and Simmons learns Grif is abusing the donated organs Simmons gave him.

Another fairly light episode, but pretty amusing.

Donut: “All right, who left the spleen-ball where somebody could trip over it?”
