De-lurking for a moment. Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed your
video Hellish! Thanks to you and TurboJ for making it. It's really great work!
On another topic, somethng has been bugging me about one of the Catalyst's (many) bizarre lines.
Has anyone speculated on how the Catalyst can claim to be both the Reaper's creator, and simultaneously the embodyment of their "collective conciousness"? Wouldn't the second claim imply that the reapers continuously create
him, as the gestalt sum of their minds - which contradicts the first claim?
Seems a bit "chicken and egg" to me. If he predates the reapers then obviously there wouldn't have been any reapers around to comprise his collective. Does each new reaper he creates get added to him? Wouldn't a new reaper coming online, made of a new species, change him, even just by giving him more raw processing power? Thereby making the name "Catalyst", with its connotations of immutability even more inappropriate?
Sorry if I'm not making much sense, I can't really put what I'm trying to say into words.
