** It could be a dual meaning - in there, he is the Alpha as in, "the most important person," or he's the Alpha because "Epsilon gets to live through Alpha's memories," or even that "Epsilon became Alpha through copying Alpha's memories and entire being," or tons of other dual meanings. I doubt it was to be taken literally.

*I might end up wording this badly, so bare with me, but Epsilon Church really never seemed to know about Alpha Church. In the finale, he said that originally, everything was based on the Alpha, but in the memory unit, he is the Alpha. Wasn't the Church from Blood Gulch Chronicles the Alpha already?

Why did Washington ask Church to go? He knew that he would be at the epicenter of the EMP. He knew that it would kill Church. Washington intentionally lead Church to die.

*** I think when they say that Epsilon has all of Alpha's memories, they really do mean ALL of them, including the Blood Gulch memories. [[spoiler:Notice how at the end, Epsilon-Church says that Blood Gulch looks different from how he remembers it, despite Epsilon never having been there, only Alpha-Church.]] If you're wondering how Epsilon got Alpha-Church's memories, remember that in Reconstruction when Church got close to the Epsilon unit he started getting painful flashes of memory, this may have been the two of them wirelessly interfacing with each other.

* Two things about Church:
** Does no one care that the real Church, for all intents and purposes, is basically dead? Sure, Caboose's perception of reality has probably blurred the line between Alpha and Epsilon, and Sarge, up until recently, didn't care about the Blues. But shouldn't Tucker at least be sad? This goes for [[spoiler: Donut, as well.]] You can't say that they don't care about each other enough, because Church was sad when Tex "died," and Simmons was visibly distressed when Grif appeared to have died.
** This is point is hidden because thinking about it kind of cheapened the Revelations Finale, and I don't want to inadvertently cheapen it for someone else. [[spoiler: Epsilon!Church has actually only known Tex for, at most, a couple of days. He never really forged a brotherly relationship with Caboose. He's never even been to Blood Gulch. All of his emotional scenes in the finale...feel kind of meaningless.]]

** It's been stated that the A.I are capable of running the armour abilties. It's possible that, when he was a monitor, Wyomming left his time manipulation unit with Gary so he could use it. However when Gary is operating the tank, I'm betting that Wyomming was the one using the armour ability. After all, his helmet was taken by Tex onto the ship, where the Meta retrieved it. If it had still been in the tank, the Meta wouldn't have been able to get to it.
* The above question reminds me of something I'd been thinking about. In season five, Caboose suggests transferring Sheila's A.I into his armour the way Omega had. Church tells him that it wouldn't work because she's not that kind of A.I. However later, Gamma, the same kind of A.I as Omega, is able to take over the tank.
