Re: Halo Apologetics *SP*

In Response To: Re: Halo Apologetics *SP* (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: If she arrives back to Earth with more info on what's going on than anyone on
: Earth, why wouldn't Lord Hood give her command of that outpost to mount a
: defense?

Either she can say all she knows in a single briefing or he would be better off having her at hand to answer questions.

She is a ship captain not a leader of soldiers. And half-jaw was a leader of soldiers not a ship captain. Bungie treats all characters as being able to perform any role asked of them.

: Her assigned ship, In Amber Clad was destroyed. The Forward Unto Dawn
: undoubtedly already has a commanding officer and yet Miranda was given
: command of that from Lord Hood to travel to the Ark. I see these both as
: the same situation.

So she is given Crow's Nest as a command instead of a ship even though her specialty is ship command.

But that isn't my real concern. Its timing. I can never keep track of time in a Bungie story. I don't think that this is my fault. I think that Bungie has taken liberties with time.

But... there are extenuating circumstances, vis a vis production problems. I just hope that this isn't going to be the way things will always be in future Bungie stories.

: I see what you mean by Apologetics. I prefer to think of it as Halo:
: Justifications. Canon is what it is whether we personally like a data
: point or not. I prefer to justify the facts rather than belabor their
: troublesome inclusion when it's inconsistent or inconvenient. Keeps me
: stress-free. :)
