Re: Weekly Update Message Discussion [BWU - 6/6/08]
If I could add a trivial aside: We still do not have any examples of the Forerunner referring to the installations/rings/whatever as "Alpha," "Beta," and so on. Note that any time the Greek letters are referenced, they are in brackets, indicating they are inexact translations. It...

Re: Flash site by AKQA overviewing Iris (and overview video)
My Amazon review is briefly featured in their slick little self-congratulatory video! Microscopic, fleeting internet stardom is mine at last! Seriously, the focus on multimedia and cross-promotion and such, rather than story, says it all. I still can't believe no one thought the five episodes needed...

Re: sample1000101.txt
I get the impression that the Forerunners sampled a whole bunch of life, clearly from Earth and possibly from other places too and that this is just one sample. Server 5 told us that there is something special about Earth but I doubt the 'gator is that. I do suspect that this DNA was just sort of r...

Re: Humans aren't forerunner?
The anomalous world is in a perilous location beyond the line. {/The secrets it holds must be preserved/} {/Plans within plans within plans/} The inhabitants; these unique denizens, must be researched. They may hold answers to our own mysteries. {/What irony that we discovered this treasure, only a...

Re: Important, possibly a BIG hint!
I'm still trying to work out exactly what the "big hint" is. We know Truth's ship is Forerunner in origin. We know the servers are Forerunner in origin. Similar hallways/backgrounds are not exactly revelatory.

Re: Humans aren't forerunner?
"The Forerunners were a bunch of monkey-fuckers." While I reluctantly agree that this adds quite a layer of complexity to the backstory, it's not really the awe-inspiring connection I was hoping for.

Re: Contact Harvest resurrects a long dead theory***SPOILER ALER
Yeah, the "biologically identical" part of what I posted up there makes no sense to me, now--didn't really when I posted it, but I couldn't figure out why else the Forerunners would instantly recognize that we were something special. I'm still stuck on that, but it could be there was just ...

Re: What's the point?
It's hard to say exactly what got used or not used, but the fact that life on Earth and various Covenant homeworlds survived, suggests the Forerunners had enough time to enact their plan. One of the terminals says this about the Librarian sending life/records of life to the Ark: We have no time to s...
