DAMMIT BB! I SAID NO SPOILERS! EVEN THOUGH I THINK I ALREADY READ THAT PART!

Wait... you read that... and you aren't going into conniptions?

Who the Hell are you, and what the Hell have you done with Pieman?

Yeah, he got somewhat ridiculous towards the end.

100% agree, not everything needs an explanation. The whole thing about the Forerunners was their transcendence, they built planets and yet, no one knows anything about them... what else is there to know? Any other information would just make them seem more vulnerable/human.

Having read Eon, I'm confident in Bear's ability to keep the mystique of the Forerunner, and open up new mysteries as well.

That was my point. Nylund potrayed him as an excellant ship commander and had more info on the Spartans, and John then we originally thought.

When he comes buddies with all the ODST's because he uses space recoil to escape an explosion. That was borderline retarded, and they have really overdone the character now.

Tennohieka Banzai!?

Sekupu Hakimanjis?

Konnichiwa!

Contact Harvest was pretty darn good. I read it through over 7 times...

And every time, I always cry when the Deacon dude dies

I didn't mind CH that much. It was a decent read, but I can see why people would dislike it. It's quite the long shot as far as the halo-verse is concerned.
