| Re: What was heroic about Didact? | |

In Response To: What was heroic about Didact? (scarab) : The Chief is direct, effective, action. Didact was inaction or indirect, : ineffective action. Chief's decisions only revolved around killing Flood and Covenant. Didact had to wrestle with the genocide of an entire galaxy, including his beloved. You would hope that would give ANYONE pause. ;) As a side note, that's another reason why I find the Chief as Didact angle so interesting. Not only are the Halo rings the only possible answer to the Flood, but he must also sacrifice Cortana/Librarian in the process. ON TOP OF THAT he knows that in 100,000 years, his past self will be struggling against the very same enemy he's seeking to slow with the initial Halo event. He knows the Halos won't work, but has to do it anyway. His only hope is that somehow, his actions at the Ark with Installation 04a finished the fight. It's Shakespearean in it's tragedy level!
