Early days, to be sure, but what are everyone's feelings on the show so far? For context here are some links: Halo Showtime Facebook Halo Cast IMDB Latest Press Release Variety.com Little Bit Of Controversy Explained Screen Rant I guess I'll just go bullet point: Jacob And Miranda Keyes Why even have them in the show? Let alone to so fundamentally change the characters? And I am not (just) talking about the racial bending. "Gray will play Dr. Miranda Keyes, a brilliant UNSC Commander who is dedicated to understanding the technology, language and culture of the Covenant, but she’ll have to learn to navigate the politics of the UNSC to get what she wants." In the established canon Miranda is accept to Luna Officer Candidate School at age 16, graduates with honors then immediate requests active duty (because, you know, we are at war with the Covvies at this point). At what point in time would she of had time to go and get a Doctorate? There are programs where you can get a PHD while on active military duty, but at no point has it been mentioned that Miranda had one. "Sapani will play Captain Jacob Keyes, described a dedicated military man, a war hero and a caring father. He finds that working alongside his daughter and his ex-wife is usually the cause of conflict rather than comfort." Alongside daughter, ok, makes a little sense (maybe, but not really), but ex-wife? Jacob hadn't seen Halsey from years 2530 (ish) to 2552, 22 years. And then they were only together like a day. Halsey didn't see him again because he died on Halo. So how exactly does he work 'alongside' her? They are trying to somehow spin a story where in an galactic war for survival these three people are entwined? Jacob and Miranda have a good relationship but as far as I can tell they were both Bridge Crew on different ships in different fleets? Not a lot of opportunity for cooperation, at least not personally between them. Plus, they have been portrayed as African descent, which I don't really care about but why not just write two new characters? This portrayal seems to be completely different to anything established to the point where they are new characters, but then to change their race as well? For canon nerds it is definitely irritating. Makee "Murphy will play Makee, an orphaned human who was raised by the alien Covenant and shares their contempt for humanity" A new character written for the show. Is this a joke? Not only does it fundamentally undermine the entire goal of the Covenant Crusade (complete eradication), but it is pretty clique writing that has been done tonnes of time, and probably better. There are a few cases of humans and Covvies working together (Mona Lisa, The Rubble) but to be 'raised' by the Covvies? If this is the quality of writing for the show we can expect, we are gonna have a bad time. Side Notes If they don't have Steve Downes dubbing John-117's voice, then why even have the big MC in the show? Same kind of goes for Jen Taylor doing the voice, but I do think Natascha McElhone could be a cool mo-cap actor for Cortana, although I think Jen Taylor also would of been cool as I can envision both as her avatar. It would be cool if Natasha did Halsey, then Jen Taylor dubbed Cortana. Soren-066 played by Bokeem Woodbine could be cool, although if they are doing post augmentation (which they kind of have to), then Soren is all kinds of messed up? I guess they will go into what happens to him. Vannak-134 sounds lame. "serves as the defacto deputy to the Master Chief." What does that even mean? I get it couldn't be Fred yet, because he is still leading his own team, but Vannak? There are so many established S-IIs they could of used they wasted one of their spots on a sidekick for Chief? Put MF Jorge in as having served with MC before Noble Team. Would of been way cooler. Also, no casting for any Covvie characters as yet? Kind of disappointing. I honestly, and sincerely, hope the show will be good. Unfortunately Halo just hasn't got a good track record of having good video extended media (FUD, Legends, Nightfall, Fall of Reach). They have all fallen short of being satisfactory in almost any regard. They really need to have someone watching over the Extended Media as a whole and making sure everything lines up. They may not want to have to keep following the Canon from the 18 year old original books but Fall Of Reach (the book) continues to be one of the most popular of all the books, and is sold not only as add-on for the games but as just a very good sci-fi book in general.

Just minutes ago the Dutch television channel RTL 5 showcased a teaser for the premiere of Halo Forward unto Dawn which premieres this saturday on 8 pm gmt +1 While this does not seem newsworthy,I would like to elaborate. Dutch television rarely interets itself in videogames unless it is in a show about games. Second this is a webseries and it being aired here is a rare move for MS, namely because they are very protective about their IP. That was all. Coldfreeze signing off.

Does anybody else here besides me watch Farscape? It is a bloody brilliant series that was produced by the Jim Henson Productions starting in 1999. It has Ben Browder and Claudia Black in it. Both of whom also were on Stargate SG1 (another fantastic series). It is about an astronaut (Ben Browder) who gets sucked through a wormhole while running some theoretical tests in the space "above" Earth. This sends him to a distant part of the galaxy where he ends up on a living ship called Moya. This ship is known as a leviathan. It is full of prisoners which the astronaut ends up teaming up with. They go on tons of misadventures and all the while they are being chased by a group called the Peacekeepers. They have multiple reasons to chase them down but in particular they are after John Crichton (Ben Browder) because of his relationship with wormholes. They think he can turn them into weapons and they want that knowledge for themselves. This lands them into mess after mess. A thrilling tale with a cliffhanger ending to the series until you watch the miniseries called Farscape: The Peackeeper Wars. That picks up right after the final season and wraps everything up nicely. The characters evolved dramatically through the series and you find new ones every now and again which changes the whole dynamic of all the original characters. Please tell me I am not the only one who watched this... Also I am making this because I just finished watching the whole series and the Peacekeeper Wars and am utterly taken with it.... again.

Ridley Scott Working on Halo Digital Feature With Microsoft
VinWarrior posted a article in Halo Articles
Ridley Scott, known for his work on Alien and Blade Runner, will be working with 343i, Microsoft, and other legendary film industry names to produce a separate Halo Digital Feature. The Halo TV Series has been under wraps for quite some time, and rumors began circulating as to whether a film might be in production. According to TheWrap.com, we have a separate feature on the way for the Halo franchise. Listed people include the legendary Ridley Scott, Paul Scheuring, and David Zucker, taking on the roles of Executive Producer, Writer, and Assistant to the Executive Producer. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, known well for Battlestar Galactica, is confirmed to direct the feature. This will likely not hit the big screen and remain as a digital or DVD copy at best. Additionally, Microsoft said that this film is, “completely separate from the premium Halo television series executive produced by Steven Spielberg, which is still on track.” as well they stated that the plot would follow a, “surgically-enhanced super soldier who is not Master Chief”.

Source-IGN The addition of Time Warner Cable extends the Xbox 360's television offerings beyond the already-available Verizon FiOS TV, ESPN, and Comcast Xfinity apps, just to name a few. It has not been said if the app will eventually be available for the Xbox One, although Microsoft already has a plan for live television on their upcoming console.
