Hey I love me some Bokeem, but I'm trying to think of why else they would write the story to have Soren act all dumb and get caught and end up on Reach at this time. And the only thing I can think of is that it's because they're going to have him sacrifice himself to save his family. I'm pretty sure he's gonna die before the season is over, but I'm just not sure if it'll be him or Kai as the last one standing on Reach.

In Halo it's the big cosmic horror that recites poetry at you in trochaic heptameter.

Arc Hammer posted:Reach is the second most heavily defended planet in human space and it acts as the headquarters for the UNSC fleet as well as a defensive gateway to the Inner Colonies and Earth. It is the last line of defense before the Inner Colonies are utterly screwed. The Inner Colonies were already getting wrecked by Reach also, the Outer Colonies were basically gone by the mid 2530s. Unless the show changed that I guess

This is the only episode I've watcvhed lol

This is the only episode I've watched lol Well it's sorta true because the Outers got wiped clean and the UEG did suppress knowledge of how bad the Inner Colonies were getting hit. Like, most of humanity knows who the Covenant are by 2552 but it's always something happening on other planets right up until your own world gets glassed. And the government would like to keep it that way to avoid mass panic and insurrection.

We are going to Onyx before we get to Halo so I'm better Soren gets left there and the storylines split again. Maybe Soren and that half of the show become a Halo Wars like side plot?

I'm glad to see jackals again. Wish we'd see grunts, hunters, brutes, and drones. What was fun about the games is that every race had it's own personality and tactics in firefights. Wish we'd see more of that. Kinda weird that they call them elites in the show if they're apparently the main ground force.

I do appreciate how it's a halo special edition xbox, it stuck out a fair bit. I was half expecting the shopkeep to reminisce about her KDR playing "Spartan Assault" back in the day.

The breakout game was Fusion Frenzy. A lot of people claim it's the first console party game, with their pedantic friends saying that Mario Party came out first.

I get the feeling we're going to lose Riz, and Kai will end up as the Silver timeline's Linda-058 stand-in. Hopefully without being a popsicle during the events on the Halo.
