And so we get some garbage that misses what was beloved by fans and features Master Chief with his helmet off, being sad on the subway. Feels like it's written by people totally unconcerned with the source material, just like Apple-Foundation.

I'd trade the whole apple-foundation series for two minutes of content by people who cared about the books.
