* What the Hell is an Oversight Subcommittee? (Like, I looked up both terms but I'm confused as to how it's supposed to fit into the UNSC (Or UEG?) hierarchy. (Also, why the head of such a group would be giving a public speech as seen at the beginning of Season 13.)

Badass is no longer a trope.


* Related to the above comment about Tex, what makes Tex such a {{Badass}} anyways? I know in the latest episode she fights Wash and the Meta at the same time, but up until then she was only fighting the Red and Blue teams, none of whom are known for combat skill, tactical expertise or even basic competence.

**I should point out that Church, Omega, Sheila, and Tex all went into the "Deadworld" Or some kind of sublevel of the battlefield intranet that is used by the Simulation troopers and Freelancers when put into armor lock. This is probably used for backing up the AI's in the simulation to make sure they aren't lost to a freak accident. When Church talked to Sarge when Sarge was shot in the head, Sarge was also in the "Deadworld".

* Why were Agents Ohio, Idaho, and Iowa even part of Operation Freelancer? The project is set up in a way that anyone incompetent would be made a sim trooper, why didn't the Triplets end up as Sims? And, if they were still more competent and could do more than Sims, why weren't they put in Officer Placement of the Sims like Agent Florida?

\n* Why does everyone refer to the Covenant as "the aliens?" The cast of the series seems to know everything a common person in the Halo universe should know so why don't they know what name of the empire that almost destroyed humanity is called?
* So Tex broke into rescue the Alpha inbetween the flashbacks shown in the Freelancer saga and, by the present we see she was no memory of Project Freelancer or the events of the flashbacks. What happened? Was she captured and given FakeMemories or killed and the Tex the audience is introduced to isn't the same Tex?

** Its fairly common knowledge that the human brain will "make up" things to shove into memory gaps and be utterly convinced in its veracity unless showed overwhelming evidence to the contrary. (And sometimes not even then.)
Also, if the soldiers in blood gulch thought they were living at a date fitting to convince Church he was really the age he was supposed to be, would explain why the red and blue thought they were in the future.

** The time travel lie was apparently part of an actual training scenario, so Project Freelancer Control probably did some stuff to make it look like time had passed. Change the clocks, remodel the bases, make Sheila look older, that sort of thing.


Added DiffLines:

** Probably not. That was at least one armor set in the past, and didn't work right then, so there wouldn't be much point in trying to use it again even if Simmons didn't remove it immediately.

***** Note that Church’s immediate reaction to Wash killing South was saying that it was “cold,” not crazy. Cold, in this context, means logical, but not compassionate. This implies that Church agreed with Delta’s logic, but not Delta's decision.

** {{FridgeBrilliance}}: Sarge is always calling Grif 'Numb Nuts'. Also, she crushes his nuts seven times. Number seven seems to be pretty important in the {{Halo}} canon.

*** It might be similar to what happened in the ''{{Halo}}'' series. Originally, the Spartans were designed to fight against human insurrectionists; the UNSC didn't even know the Covenant existed until the Spartans had already become full-fledged super-soldiers. Seems confirmed as of episode 13, when insurrectionists are explicitly mentioned.

*** Exactly. [[spoiler:He is one of the best villains in the show, so turning him good would rob him of that quality. And considering his mental state, there is no way he could go higher or lower on the morality scale. Ultimately, a redemption arc is the ''last'' thing they want to do to him. Besides, bringing him back has a chance of decreasing his popularity.]]

*** Never underestimate the power of popularity. [[spoiler:The Meta is considered to be one of the best villains in the show, and there is one more thing they can do with him: a redemption arc. He slowly overcomes the insanity wrought by Sigma and helps the BGC overcome Charon Industries.]] Though that probably belongs more in WMG...
