I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.

I know Bungie is a big fan of Firefly. Now thats Sci-Fi done right.
Anyone ever think that Joss Whedon could pull off something like Halo? I think he be a good nominee for director or producer or executive.
No, i dont think he would. Firefly is good and all, but it is supposed to be a bit campy and silly. Halo's tone is a bit more serious than a Space Western like Firefly.
Halo 3: ODST was supposed to mirror Firefly's tone, and its story was god awful. There s no denying it. While Halo overall is no work of Shakespeare, the dialog in ODST was pure cheese. The jokes were NOT funny to anyone above a fifth grade mindset, and the characters were mostly lame, except Buck who was awesome.
ODST is pretty bad as far as writing and story direction go, and Joss Whedon's tone needs to stay away from Halo.
