Halo Legends: Odd One Out

Since the DVD and BD are out today and I finished watching all the videos over the weekend I thought I'd get the final episode review out on the same day the DVD is out. The episode Odd One Out is the black sheep of the family a non-canon episode that doesn't have anything to do with the actual story line of the over all Halo story. Although Cortana and Master Chief make cameo appearance they don't have anything really to do with the story other than to poke fun of the Spartan 1337 (get it he's LEET..hahahaha) who seems to be a clumsy Spartan with some seriously bad luck.

Bad enough that the Spartan's story starts with him falling off a Pelican and landing on a very desolate part of a planet. He meets up some children who are dressed like little cavemen people and to make matters worse the Spartan while chatting with the children gets nommed by a T-Rex. The children get the T-Rex to spit out the Spartan by playing catch. Apparently it's a tame T-Rex. In the mean time the Covenant have developed a super weapon like Brute and send him off into space where he lands on the same planet. The Spartan and the children meet up the kids' older siblings and the older siblings tell the Spartan a little bit about their back story. In the mean time the super powered Brute attacks them. The Spartan helps out but it's the older Siblings that kick some series ass. Then we meet momma who the siblings talked about and it turns out that momma is an older UNSC AI that resides in a crashed space ship. It's momma that activates when she sees her children are threatened. The ship activates a slipspace rupture and fires the MAC gun at the brute sending it through the rupture saving the children. Cortana and the Master Chief notice the activation of the AI and the slipspace rupture and are able to make radio contact with the Spartan.

Definitely not part of the greater story and thankfully after the sad story of Homecoming it's a nice comedic departure that helps to lighten the mod. Yeah I'm sure a lot of people were not happy with a stupid story instead of another serious story being added to the set. But hey lighten up it's a funny story that I think helps to lighten the mod after all the death and mayhem that is ever so present in the other stories. The DVDs and BD are out now so go rent it or buy it. You don't need to be a huge Halo fan to enjoy it so don't let that stop you from checking it out. If you are a Halo fan this is a great way to add to the experience. I might be getting it from Netflix early this week if not I'll be picking it up at the end of the week.

Here is a short clip of the misadventures of Spartan 1337.
