If good looks could kill, I'd be a weapon of mass destruction.
Q: Hey, what did Hitler say to the black jew?
A: Get to the back of the oven.
I'll keep this as short and sweet as possible.
Anybody remember in "First Strike" when the characters experience time dilation and time travel due to the Forerunner (or perhaps Precursor) crystal?
Well, besides that whole concept being COMPLETELY pointless and mind-fu*king fans for absolutely NO REASON other than to do it (seriously, does anybody understand why Nylund/Bungie/Microsoft decided to put that into the story? There really was no point), it may be the key to the canonical errors of the franchise.
Okay, so does anybody know what the point of the crystal was? It warped space and time...okay...so what happened to Halo? If the characters time travelled...are there multiples of them? WHAT EVENTS DID AND DID NOT HAPPEN? WHY IS THIS EVEN IN THE FREAKIN' STORYLINE?!
Sorry, I'm getting off topic. But therein lies the point. Because the crystal is such a horrible plot device that only serves to destroy any possibility of anything in the story from being true, it allows the canon to be rewritten over and over again. Because, hey, maybe Reach fell in one day according to TFOR. But after the crystal messed everything up, BAM, all of the events at Reach change.
This theory is both satirical (because of the amazing stupidity of the crystal as a plot device), and serious (because it now, unfortunately I might add, can fix canon with its stupidity).
Discuss!
