In Response To: Re: Please tell me that was... (SPOILERS) (CaptainTony) No... not Jesus. This took place long before that... Although a biblical reference as strong as that would have been interesting. What interested me most about this episode was the Flood. There were so many new Flood forms in this episode... and I'm pretty sure it wasn't all stylization, since there were some intentionally placed ones that we've already seen before. They all looked pretty cool though in the end. Did anyone get a Marathon feeling out of this? Something about the first Forerunner that we see getting absorbed into the Flood strongly reminds me of the floating robed guys. I don't know the names... I was always getting the names of the different enemies confused. But I'm feeling like there's some definite inspiration from Marathon. Especially in the way the Forerunners kind of appear on the surface of the planet, when they're shown fighting the Flood. Also the seven Halos coming out of the Ark was cool, visually. And the firing. We finally got to see what actually happens to life forms when the Halos fire. I thought it was a cool effect. Too much stuff to really try and remember. This episode is going to take a lot of rewatching. It's too bad they didn't have Jen Taylor do Cortana's voice...
