In Response To: Re: Look at it this way... (rolandk73) : Because pine trees are totally Alien. Pine trees are on Halo. There's a distinct implication of relatedness between Forerunner and Humanity. I'm OK with Halo looking and feeling like Earth. Same gravity, temp, and so forth. Makes sense. Elites' architecture shouldn't be identifiable to any known Earth construction or materials. Why would there even be trees on Sanghelios? Is it required? Could their planet have been much different. There used to be a story in the early days of Star Trek (mid 60's) that on the first pilot episode, the set dressers were outfitting a stage as an alien world. They had some fake rocks and trees and plants and a few real trees and plants around. Gene Roddenberry (Trek's creator) was viewing the set and complained that the world didn't look 'alien' enough. The set dressers sarcastically asked what an alien plant would look like. Gene walked over to one of the real plants, pulled it out of the ground, turned it over and shoved it back in the ground burying the leaves and flowers and having the ugly roots showing above ground. He then exclaimed that that was what an alien plant looked like. I've always liked that story. You can make a world look wholly unfamiliar even using familiar things.
