[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DecepticonCobra Thought the theme of Glasslands was that "No lessons taught by the Great Schism were learned and that more murder is a-okay!"[/quote] ^yeah but thats crap. I'll give some examples of what I'm thinking of. -How about the idea beheld the Covenant being a collective of races and the extent of which their species served in a heirachy. -The importance and signficance of humanity's mightiest military homeworld falling down due to unbearable odds regardless of humanities best efforts? -The importance of the MAC stations on Reach and how crucial it is protecting the Generators on ground. The relationship between the ground units and above air units working as one on Reach. -The extent of how ultimatly the SPARTANS were ineffective at defending Reach? The symbolism beheld how they couldn't defend their own homes and ran [The idea of how they were force to leave beheld everything they stood for or die] How Reach was a numbers game. Pretty much links back to my 2nd example. -The extent beheld Kurt as a character,[Lead of GoO] How his personality shaped the S-IIIs and how no other SPARTAN-II could have done what Kurt achieved. -How Halsey establishes her character when meeting the S-IIIs, the extent to which she is effective at winning over the S-IIIs respect as a civillian and to measure the significance of why she needed their respect and admiration. There are so many more examples. Halo Post Reach could have been a place worth discussing such ideas in a newer series. But the drivel that 343i pours out makes it pretty dry. So it's just "Reach sucks, Noble team is..., Is jun alive thread etc" on the Bu boards. It's because there's nothing worth discussing in the new books. It just gives us context. These are topics worth reading and discussing besides the blad sci-fi storyline of humans beat covenant, now elites fight humans, oh no what happens now? S-IVs are formed so we can have fighting chance etc etc. I'm mainly refering to ROBERTO jh comment. Meh. If you read literature beyond Halo, you would understand that their is more to a book beyond what happens in a timeline. Yes we get stuff in Glassland. Such as the future of Elite and Human relations. But it's done so poorly that we just accept it as that's that. Forerunner trilogy has a wealth of discussion but to me just doesn't feel Halo. That's my personal preferance. But it's a great series to get into but just ain't my thing. [Edited on 05.05.2012 7:03 PM PDT]
