Spoiler warning: Unless you've already completed Halo: Reach, there will be spoilers within. I'm going to spend some time wittering on about other stuff first, but there will be spoilers later on.

New vocab warning: There will probably be words here you haven't seen before, or at least haven't explored properly. For some of you this won't be true (congratulations, have a gold star), but for the rest of us, don't worry. They're not that scary, and they actually turn out to open whole new areas of really cool conversation (for heavily geeky values of cool), and I'll be linking to Wikipedia as appropriate and/or discussing the terms.
