Thanks bro, I appreciate that. It is a serious concern since Master Chief IS the Halo series. He is the driving force of the entire ride.

Fair enough, everyone has their likes and dislikes. I appreciate FPS and RTS for their respective offerings, but they both have their place. Personally I miss space simulators, those were when games were games. Hope you enjoy some of the expanded material of Halo, whatever you haven't checked out yet. Halo Wars hopefully will prove even better with its second outing. RTS is new for Halo, and Halo Wars was the series' first attempt to experiment with the layout. And it was alright. Though Halo works better as an FPS.

I agree, it's the most twisted argument for character development I think I have ever heard. We argued over that one a bit, I mean I was just left at a loss. I don't appreciate how, as you said, a character was destroyed to pave way for such a crude gag. It's not like Ezekiel was ever impressive, but now he has virtually no shot at development because of this. The fact that it was a kind of "Take That" to those who demanded to see more of him does not help, as it was the wrong response to those who made the fuss. I would love to know Peter Oldring's opinion on it, I'd love to know what a lot of the actors think about how their characters are being used.

Agreed, I don't know how people think the development and buildup was either well done or even sufficient, as their respective attractions were VERY sudden. And their transition from friends to crushes to lovers was hackneyed as all Hell. And it did nothing for either of them for me, both became profoundly unsympathetic and Gwen became that girl who was out of control of her hormones or "preggers" or anything that would describe her worsening behavior. It's weird how I feel more sympathy for Courtney than I do for Gwen despite my being appalled at both of their respective derailments, but there's a certain element that makes Courtney's far more disturbing and Gwen's far more aggravating. Perhaps because they still want us to sympathize with Gwen even after all this BS she has pulled. With Courtney I don't know what they are seeking to accomplish. With Duncan there's always gonna be a large section that is going to let him off the hook no matter what anybody says or whatever he does next.

Yeah, too much damage was done and I hope they are not eager to revive Gwuncan anytime soon. And frankly, I am sick of the focus on Gwen's lovelife, it's dragging her down. Please end the romantic plot tumor she now carries and focus more on Gwen herself.

Yeah, I wish they were kidding, but they sounded pretty convinced of that when they put out that argument. That may have been what we got, but there were other ways as the guy did end up being a Villain Sue, even Heather never got off THAT easily. And he could've easily produced drama between the three instead of Duncan, who seemed to be brought back solely for that reason. It definitely cemented his Creator's Pet status for sure. I don't think painting the girls and even Duncan himself in such a nasty light was a good move, it generated too many negative feelings and a big fan divide. And it's not fun to watch them trying to kill each other over the whole affair. I'll bet with Alejandro making trouble without Duncan's help things might've been less toxic. Or maybe if they went a different way with these three it would've less of a sour aftertaste. As is, I hate what we got. And Duncan's not somebody I appreciated being asked to root for. Duncney was failing, yes. Courtney was not a good girlfriend. But the way it boiled down.......Nobody comes out a better character or even a fun character to watch for it. I don't care what twisted interpretation everybody else has of it. And I don't mean to sound like some squeaky clean, PC freak, but I do ask for drama that doesn't become as poisonous as this did.

Yeah I am not convinced they had any clue what they wanted to accomplish with any of the cast. These guys have enormous potential, in an All-Stars season no less, and THIS is the best they can put together? Like so many others, Sierra's plot was just a imagination-devoid repeat of her old schtick with nothing else for her to work with.

I was pretty unpopular here after I got all aggressive and defensive, that was definitely my fault for letting my impatience get the better of me. And I did say some pretty nasty things that got me grilled for it. I can be impatient and I can be bad-tempered. I won't deny that. But I usually try to be better than that now. I'm glad that drama's passed and I am glad things are normal here now. I mean, well I don't really comment on here very frequently or post my big analyses that I do in every one of my comments, but I'm glad to be getting along with most of the crowd again. Yeah, thank you for your support once things started cooling down.

I have been putting off a lot of stuff. Gravity Falls, Korra, the fifth season of MLP, Attack on Titan, all stuff I should have finished by now. But yeah, no eagerness to watch RR. For me it's just something that's there.

Never anything to stop him, he just gets away with whatever he wants to now and has gotten worse for it. No way should he still be getting off scotfree, I don't care how the contestants have a million bucks rising on keeping this b*****d happy on top of surviving these challenges. Now they're literally just trying to survive these challenges, as Chris keeps doing things that should've gotten his arse thrown into the slammer for life. And I'm still very upset about his actions in the trinity and in One Big Prize, which he got NOTHING for in either instance. And I do not see how it is funny that he gets no comeuppance. At least with Don, who is a considerably more humane guy, when he pulls crap he doesn't get off totally free for it. Not if his run-in with Laurie is evidence of this. But you don't have anything to balance out with Chris' antics. And that's something I just can't stand in an antagonist.
