I was re-reading the Halo 3 terminals and I feel like it contradicts the events in Halo 4. In the terminals it makes it seem like the Didact was on the Ark, firing the Halos while the Librarian stranded herself on Earth. However, in Halo 4 it seemed like the Didact was imprisoned on Requiem before the Halo's were fired.
I didn't read the newer books, but am aware that there are Ur-Didact and Bornstellar(?) Didact. Could this confusion have something to do with the difference between the two?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ferrrari [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] grey101 I guess this is considered a "retcon" since the UR didact didn't [b]hate[/b] humans. He anger stemmed from the loss of his children more than anything else. [/quote] Well he sure as hell didn't like them...[/quote] And the part where he finds out that humans were destined to take up the Mantle, not Forerunners, which would reasonably be seen as an injustice by him since hye thought us to be aggressive animals. And the part where Forerunners were seen as such comparable failures that the Precursors wanted to erase them. And how the Librarian--his own wife--shot him twice and imprisoned him for 100,000 years to save these people he didn't even like to begin with since they committed genocide against Forerunner and kind of wiped out his whole family and turned his wife against him. And than there's the practical issue with humans, that they're readily available for Composition to fight the returning Flood threat. Yeah, Didact doesn't hate humans at all.
