The Blurred Nerds

Up first this episode:

This past week saw the annual culling of TV shows commence. The network carnage seemed to take a larger toll this time however due to a mixture of pandemic related filming & cost issues as well as a continuing change in the way advertisers spend their dollars and companies increasingly create their own dedicated streaming platforms.

In the second half:

The GeekFather has some serious issues with the Halo TV series, just like many of the game fans do. Lil' Bit mostly has enjoyed it along with other viewers who are not familiar with the game lore.  Does creating an alternate timeline satisfy the critiques long time players have? Should the show have been given a different name rather than garnering hype based on an established series? Let's discuss.
