[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RoundeyeSamurai My thoughts are that Sgt Johnson Jr is the son of a Spartan I, thus explaining the inconstitencies in the timeline and the fact that he is a hell of a lot younger than 70+ years old. Also since he is a Jr, he shares the same name and initials as his father. Avery J. Johnson Jr, is the son of Avery J. Johnson Sr (Spartan I). His unexplained (or BS theory) ability to resist the flood infection may be due to a genetic difference he has cause by his fathers 'augmentation' from the Spartan I program. Just a thought![/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it say in the books that the Spartan IIs had a suppressed sex drive and (if I'm not mistaken) they were made sterile by their augmentations? The only way that I see Avery Johnson Jr. as having genetic coding from Avery Johnson Sr. (assuming that Sr. was indeed a Spartan I) would be if Avery Johnson Jr. was a clone of Avery Johnson Sr. Of course, there is no way of knowing if the severity or effects of the Spartan I program even come close to the results of the Spartan IIs. Just a thought.
