To each their own.

In reply to the other posts stating some things are best kept a secret and the joy is in the speculation, I fully agree, but having no one to ramble on with over these topics and sad reality that the forums on HBO have seen the flames of speculation and in depth debating dwindle immensely. I've been lurking on these forums since I first got Halo at 12, now a few days from 23, and I definitely miss reading detailed speculations and intelligent debates.

So while I agree gathering clues from all over and theorizing on the hows, whys, wheres, an so on of mysteries is enjoyable, lacking the ability to do it all I got left are whatever sort of fictional medium gets released, well I'll probably ignore the Palmer comic... no matter how great it makes her out to be, having it take place in the past means she still becomes an ignorant bitch one way or another.
