Halo Universe Explained: Update

The fourth entry in my write-ups on the Halo universe is posted Below.  After doing four of them and working on the fifth I can say...Damn, it is a lot of work.  I honestly thought I would be able to rip these off pretty quick.  Instead, after researching, writing and re-writing each post I'm struggling to finish one each week.  The Halo universe is so interconnected that I'm finding it difficult to compartmentalize each write-up.  It was near impossible explaining the Forerunners in the latest post without going into greater detail on the Precursors and the Flood, or the human covenant conflict.  Saying just enough about the relationship between topics, without saying too much is a real challenge.

I have enjoyed it though.  Writing each post makes me think about the Halo universe more than I ever have and is helping me better understand what is going on.  They say to fully understand something, explain it to someone else... and that has definitely been the case with these posts.

My concern is that since each post is necessarily incomplete that they may not be understandable or helpful to anyone actually reading them.

To any readers following along, I'd love some feedback.  Have these posts been understandable and helpful?  A yes/no in the comments would be plenty.   There is still time to alter my strategy with these posts and produce something useful before Halo 4 comes out.

On a related note...these Halo posts have been so time consuming they have kept me from more regular posts.  I'm planning on changing that this week.

Thanks.
