My take.

: I think you're missing the fact that two separate Bungie employees, at two : separate times, said two distinctly different things about that particular : bit of Halo lore. : The interview you're referring to was posted in October, 2004. Frankie's : quote comes from July, 2006 - two years later. In August, 2006, Staten : acknowledges that his original statement was "controversial", : and that at that point they were actually working on the "is it, or : isn't it?" question - it's not NEARLY as cut-and-dried as you're : suggesting it is. : I'm not sure there's a consensus amongst Halo's writers about whether or not : I Love Bees is canon (or Canon) or not - I'm DAMN sure they've never : resolved the situation in any definitive way publicly. This is why I am firmly in the camp that ILB is at the very least partially canon. The mention of the assassination of Herzog in the Halo Graphic Novel (in fact it appears that Johnson was the assassin), the mentioning of Coral in a few places, even the use of the Apocalypto on Bungie.net (in their explanation of DOA4's Nicole) show that at least someone inside of Bungie considers at least parts of ILB as canon. That's enough for me. Until Joe Staten or someone comes out at lays it all out, which they'll probably never do, that's my stance.

Where's the Chief?
