Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
The interpretation of the dialogue in the ending has been an issue for far too long, so I thought I might try to explain. First of all, dont split quotes apart if you're not absolutely certain you know what they mean. One sentence could easely contradict the one which is right after it. In this case "We made it through just as it collapsed" (the three of them, Arby, John and Cortana) and then comes the plot twist, "Well, some of us made it". Meaning that only the Arbiter made it through to Earth, as seen in the previous scene. Cortana can however only assume that he went through since he was in the front (see picture) he made it through jus as the portal collapsed, leaving them drifting somewhere in space.

The "shard" as you call it is a symbol that the Profets found on a human planet (dont remember which. Harvest?). With the new knowlage of what the sumbol meant, they could somehow activate the Oracle (MB). Im not sure if it was an object or if it simply was a code that they used, probably just a code though. However, it was found before "The Fall of Reach". Some profets, Tranquillity and.. entourage, had found out that they werent the reclaimers, the humans were. And so they satrted their holy war against the humans. This is also why Truth is named "truth", to remind him of how much he had to lie to keep the Covenant intact.
The image of Cortana flickering around in the corridors of installation 04 II is probably just a representation of how John sees her, but from another perspective, in other words "Cortana vision" from a third perspective. Remember, the arbiter can not see her. But how she has been able to comunicate with him I do not know, probably with radio waves of some sort.

Nice recap, exept for the Onyx part. But you should make it stand out more. Maybe like this: RECAP!!!
