I am really enjoying the darker tone of Season 2 so far. It is much better than Season 1 was IMHO. I look forward to the actual space battle scenes at some point. Based on what I have read online, Master Chief will need to retrieve Cortana at some point. This has been a much better season. I actually look forward to these episodes.

Bosco685 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 To me S2 E7 was solid. It conveys the divide amongst the characters as they seek their individual missions. So glad the showrunners upped the intensity this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Episode 7 was great. It looks like they will end the season with an epic space battle in episode 8. I hope it gets renewed for Season 3 and that they keep the current show runners for it. Bosco685 and The Brain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Episode 8 left off with the intro of two key elements, but I thought they missed a huge opportunity in not showing one potentially amazing scene Spoiler Why not show Master Chief attacking through space and then cutting through the Senhali to reach Kai and Perez? At least we see the intro of the Flood and then the Forerunner AIs for Season 3 (hopefully!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 With no connection to the game lore, I'm enjoying this season. Master Chief is more an unpredictable warrior than a controlled government assert. Spoiler The battle between Master Chief and the Arbitar should have gone on longer. But I'll take it. I am not familiar with The Flood and Guilty Spark. Guess I have some research ahead.

kimik Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I agree with you that Spoiler The last battle, and even the Master Chief rescuing Kai and her team, seemed edited too short. I got the sense they cut it down to keep within the time allocated to each episode. I would have done less with the Flood, which is supposed to have been found on the Halo if I read things correctly online. It looks like it goes like this - Precursors created life across galaxy. Forerunners (city that the found the Flood spores in was Forerunner) developed faster than other species, got pissed that Precursors deemed Humans to better choice to assume their role holding the mantle of life and started to wipe out the Precursors and humans. The remains of the last of the Precursors ended up becoming the Flood. The Flood becomes an ongoing plague that almost infects everything human and Covenant.

kimik Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Overall, this season was a nice step forward from Season 1. I hope that Season 3 gets the greenlight as we will see the Flood become the big issue, and humanity's last stand against the Covenant. Season 4 would likely be everything left (including some Forerunners) vs the Flood. Edited March 22 by kimik Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have season 1 on Bluray, but have been putting it off because everyone's told me it's terrible, but I'd love to see a live-action Fall Of Reach. Was that the whole season? Were there cameos by Noble Squadron? I'd love to have seen a live-action Carter, more than anything (Halo wise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fall of Reach is not the entire season, just building up to and showing during the first half of it. They move forward in the second half building towards introducing the Flood.

Reach could have been its own season, and it would have been awesome. Throw in some Noble Squad appearances, boom! Fan favourite, all sins forgiven.
