Or Maybe Rework - Blog Posts

Might not be what you’re looking for, but I do have some ideas for a sort of rework of Butcher based off of some theories I had back during season 4. They won’t really be doing anything besides sitting my brain otherwise, so I might as well get them down. Writing more real world military style fiction is not my cup of tea.

1) At the closing of the war, Butcher was dispatched to the Arctic to track down Nova 6 (not Nebula 5, which feels like the writers lazy attempt to one up Black Ops). This makes him in charge of the British forces aboard the trapped ship housing the Nova 6 rockets at the end of Project Nova.

2) After all is said and done, Butcher still has a fire in him that a peaceful life just can’t put out. Following this desire to stay in action at all times leads him to becoming a Mercenary.

3) The Caldera island from Warzone is not real. Perhaps there was a resort island with military facilities on it, perhaps there was not. But it makes a good story to tell at a bar table. He’ll tell a different story at every bar, add a little flavor to each retelling. Sometimes there’s a secret society on that island, sometimes there were nerve gas distilleries there, sometimes there are hidden treasure troves, sometimes there are creatures science has yet to comprehend. Sometimes he will even tell with a straight face that he encountered time travelers. It all just depends on his mood and the books he’s read in the past few months.
