That's the makings of a great game, movie, or TV series for you, when they get you to feel for the characters you are watching. I do hope this arc will have a satisfying conclusion, but for Cortana to have been assumed dead for three years and to come back with perhaps the necessity of her being destroyed for real next time.......Gotta hope the Chief can get through to her before she takes her mad plans too far. She's not rampant, but upon her reassembly appears to have become deluded, perhaps corrupted by an unseen force.

Never got to play those. Good to experiment, but so long as it doesn't affect the flow of the series in the event that it should backfire. But spinoff material is fair game. Though those Spartan games seem to be like the Star Wars EU, extra fat on the ribs; fighting Prometheans on Earth or in Mombasa or something? Hard to see how that fits comfortably into the main canon.

It's popularity always aggravated me. It has good stuff in it but I never appreciated the free pass people gave to that love triangle BS or the ending among other things when things like Feral Zeke were justly panned. People defend that stuff as necessary for drama but I never bought that argument. I have little patience for plots that take some of the aggressive liberties that did to bring that whole scene about with Gwuncan vs. Duncney, and it was the first season where things really just got nasty. I don't actually know if Gwuncan's popularity has truly died down to that point yet. Seems to me like a lot of people still do their damndest to justify the pairing. Not me though, I was majorly ticked that they went through with that, and it doesn't excuse putting off everyone who was on the opposite end of the spectrum when Gwuncan became an official thing. Then you got Chris, Alejandro who I also hated at the time, Sierra.....It was fun for a while but then they started that crap and I was like "Screw this". Again, as petty as I'm sure it sounds, I really did not like it. And I find many of its defenders to be obnoxious about it.

Jeez, I have not in the best of moods today....

Thank you. I like to think that I have. I try to be more productive with what I say now, while also not undermining my own honest feelings about what is discussed. I have no shame in being blunt, but I try not to be aggressive doing that now. You don't win friends and listeners by insulting or raging at other people, so I've just tried hard to restore my credibility since then. I was definitely much more hotheaded back then.

Yeah I will only watch when my own desire kicks in. I'm not much of an optimist and don't pretend to be. For the most part TDPI's cast was handled decently but the large number of gimmick characters still undermines its full potential pretty badly and makes for a very hit or miss season. It's definitely a step up from All-Stars, but still no masterpiece.

One thing they definitely could've done to make it better was to make Chris less obnoxious. I'm getting pretty fed up with his lack of karma.

On an unrelated note that we can discuss further on TVTropes later, good news man; your pal Malcolm is doing away with knighthoods and damehoods in Australia. Nice to see the mess Abbott made being cleaned up so swiftly.
