So after finishing Glasslands, what do you think of Halsey?

Personally I think people just need to step the heck back and acknowledge that her project is what won the freaking war for humanity. Vaz, Osman, Parangotsky, and even Naomi are so damn quick to judge when they admit that the Spartan II program is the reason why they're all alive. Heck, Fred even admits that he doesn't regret anything because as a colony kid he would have been glassed anyway. True, Halsey was a cold, calculating -blam!-, and she did break the law. But she saved lives, billions of lives. I think that's why people are so angry. Because her cold calculation that the lives of 70 kids and their families were traded for all of humanity. She still deserved to get pwnt by Lucy though. Thoughts? [Edited on 08.12.2012 12:51 PM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Fin5434p My main issue is when she uses her books to advance her own political or personal views, and her perchant for rants. Particularly *misaimed* rants, like demonising Halsey and comparing her to mengele. Her rants in SW were all from 'Mando' characters and directed primarily at the jedi. This would be fine if it was part of a bigger plot point, or character development, but it isn't: every other character just nods and goes along with the 'obvious wisdom' of her mouthpiece character. [b]My main problem with her writing is it's very opinionated, and she writes in a way that presumes the reader agrees with her, opposing views are not presented and no one really questions the viewpoint she puts forward, even if it would be in character to do so.[/b] The S IIs that were on onyx would have defended Halsey come hell or high water,we know this from previous work, they are all aware of the details of the Spartan programme. Do they? Nah. [/quote] Kinda curious about what she said concerning Jedi now. :P And bolded point is pretty much what I've been saying. We aren't given much of a viewpoint about Halsey's good side. We aren't given ANY viewpoint or knowledge about the elites who want peace because they respect humanity.
