Spider Mastermind, Mother Demon, or Shubby? What happens to JC?

I don't see Angel of Haste as Obsolete. :( It still seems different enough from confident/over confident to keep around. I like the idea of Angel of Haste better than confident/over confident. Why not instead Keep Angel of Haste and make skipping to the latter two episodes an unlockable Episode select feature that is unlocked by beating the respective episodes for the first time? Maybe on a specific difficulty and not on AoH.
What will happen to the Angel of Haste related badges that were achieved? I would be pretty pissed if I lost my rank because AoH being removed means that I have one less badge that was the one that I got last time that finally got me my last rank.
Is there going to be ending/intermission text and music after each of the 3 episodes?

Yes, one of them is the new Hell Boss. And don't worry... John Carmack is still around.

Both AoHa and AoCn/AoOC have the same challenge theme: if we think of normal level scaling as floor = Lev, AoHa is 2*Lev while AoCn/AoOC is Lev+8/Lev+16. There IS a difference, but I don't think it's enough to warrant having all of them around. Consider that, with the current episodic setup, AoHa would see Hellgate at dlvl4, Cybie at dlvl8, and the new boss at dlvl12. That gives you VERY little time to prepare for any one of them, not to mention doing them all in the same game. (Over)Confidence fits better into the current format of the game.

I think you'll lose the badges themselves, but you can't lose your rank.
On a related note, all of the badges are being reevaluated so that there's a greater consistency for a given tier (in particular, a lot of the harder challenges are getting their badges made easier).

On the same note, I'd like to pinpoint a flaw.
Why is beating Angel of Light Travel on N! a gold badge?
