Re: My Theory *long*

In Response To: Re: My Theory *long* (Leisandir)


: Generally good, but as far as the Spartans at Reach not being the originals .
: . . during First Strike, we see from the perspective of Fred and company,
: who are all familiar with the Sartans on the planet.

They know each other, but that doesn't mean they have to have a deep personal understanding of their actions/motivations. Half of them died with little to no interaction whatsoever with Fred and co. The "main" characters (Fred, Kelly, ect) obviously aren't replacements, but who's to say a Spartan like, say, Malcolm isn't? He isn't given any character development besides "he died on impact," and there is no grieving over his loss or any of the other losses. There never would be, and there never will be, at least from the Spartans' perspective. If the "real" Malcolm had died and been replaced before, would Fred or any of the Spartans truly know or understand it? They had been trained to focus on first the mission, second the UNSC, and lastly themselves. I think that other Legends episode (the Teddy Bear one) might focus on this a little more.

: Given the lack of funding for the Spartan II program which is consistently
: mentioned and complained about by Halsey, I'd say that second generation
: Spartan IIs are unlikely.

And yet the existence of "Sierra 259" directly contradicts that no? That could be referencing a Pelican or perhaps a base or something to that extant, but given the context, we are lead to assume its a Spartan.
