which made her death that much more impactful because she wasnt the classic “bitch that had it coming.”

hell id go so far to say it was nearly a subversion of the trope. she was struggling so much to the obliviousness of whatever support network she had that she was turning to ketamine just to get some sleep. her shyness wasn’t to fit the trope, its because the gal was so goddamn frayed and twitchy she’d run out of…

how about calling out abusive assholes for what they are regardless of gender?

you stupid asshole, the victims WON here! or can only women be the victim?

ah, the classic support the woman because she is a woman defense.

i was really not expecting Eddy to be such a nuanced character given the archetype, but that is some damned good writing. 

6 figures does not make one wealthy, but getting paid 6 figures to toss a ball in a basket sure as shit does. ergo, a greed issue.

id say its realistic, and yet again a nuance lost in the show.

average salary in the WNBA is over 6 figures, so clearly any money issues are a greed matter.

big facts

no more black than any other government organization in the history of ever. 

thats a grand canyon sized stretch for “whataboutism”

ill admit ive been out of the loop since Cole Protocol, and ONI have always been a bunch o shit birds. but now that its been applied to the entirety of the UNSC, i have a hard time rooting for humanity to survive. 

im deeply annoyed at that marketing if only because it had so little to do with the story. plus the story in 5 was hot dog water

ONI yes, the UNSC taken as a whole organization? i think not.

too true too true, so focus on the Chief and the core SPARTANs dealing with the mounting death toll in combat with the Covenant instead of this cliché “government is bad” bullshit we got. and the macguffin emotion controller bullshit.

what we got was a basic ass sci-fi show with a coat of Halo paint. the creative team had no idea what to do with the IP they had been so graciously handed, and shat all over it. in this you lost much of the moral grey area the extended lore helped provide with the actions of the UNCS, Halsey, and even the SPARTANs…

adaptations are fine so long as there is respect to the source material. what they did here was slap a coat of Halo paint on a generic SyFy show to sell it

tech advancement does not seem high on their priority list. once you’ve hit a point you can effectively kill anything you run across, innovation is sort of unecessary. 

did we miss the part where The Chief would sooner dick a covenant agent versus putting his fist through her face?
