This is TOTALLY unimportant; but the Halo TV series (based on the incredibly popular Halo game) has launched to scathing reviews. Fans are very disappointed that the series is not true to the game. Since I never played the game I intend to watch (if I can get additional episodes for free). One thing I like about Halo are the mech-suits worn by the elite 'Spartan' soldiers. They are stolen right out of Heinlein's classic "Starship Troopers". Halo is set in the 26th century... but I'm sure that the US and China will have mech-suits by 2100.... and I want one NOW! Here's the link to Episode 1. SORRY... Paramount has already removed the YT video... so I won't be watching Halo. |
