 Halo Legends is an anthology series and, as a result, each ‘episode’ differs quite a bit. I think my favorite is Homecoming, though Origins Parts 1 & 2 are probably the best (and they're my second-favorite). Homecoming actually has a few lore issues, though //all// the ‘episodes’ seem to have problems in that department.

+==== Depiction of the Future? ====
+I remembered that I once thought that Halo's worldbuilding actually depicted a fairly accurate version of the future (setting aside all of humanity existing in one single state).
+This doesn't show up often because most of the series is presented to us thru a pure military perspective, with the UNSC operating with only one language and a clearly American aesthetic.((:fn:>Which makes a lot of sense if we consider that the American military is currently the most technologically advanced, most professional and the //largest//. It makes complete sense that a future supra-national military entity would derive or be heavily inspired by the Americans.)) But there are flashes that suggest the universe is more multicultural and multilingual than it appears at first.\\
+Most of Reach is //Hungarian// for example. Though that's the only major example I can think of.
