Red vs. Blue Season 5 started a few days ago. The first episode is pretty good. Season 4 had a great ending, so I have been waiting for Season 5 to start for a while. You can get the latest episode here.

If you have never heard of Red vs. Blue, the series chronicles the story of two opposing teams of soldiers fighting a civil war in the middle of a desolate box canyon, in a parody of first-person shooter games, military life, and science fiction films. According to Simmons, one of the Red Team soldiers, each team’s base exists only in response to the other team’s base. Although both teams generally dislike each other and have standing orders to defeat their opponents and capture their flag, neither team’s soldiers are usually motivated to fight each other. Teammates have an array of eccentric personalities and often create more problems for each other than for their enemies. Initially intended to be a short series of six to eight episodes, the project quickly and unexpectedly achieved significant popularity following its April 1, 2003 Internet premiere. Therefore, Rooster Teeth decided to extend the series.

If you missed the first four seasons, I uploaded them all to Google Video. You can find them here.
