I could've swore there was some mid-credits teaser showing the Halo. I watched that episode pretty late, so perhaps my memory is dogshit.

Halo has a bit of a hole to dig itself out of from season 1... but taken on its own so far, season 2 doesn't seem bad so far? At least the cracks haven't really started to show and it feels like they're kind of hitting the undo button on a lot of dumb choices from season 1 (though not all ugh Lots of time to head over the cliff, but so far I have a slim hope this season might do an OK Reach story, and set up Halo CE next season (which will never get greenlit, lmao).

Good to know Paramount+ still hasn't improved the Xbox app in over a year. I bet they still haven't fixed the weird playback bugs that made DS9 unwatchable

What the hell was that last scene of episode 2? I know Marines tend to get the shittiest equipment, but they can't afford flashlights?

This show shoulda just been Lost on Halo with flashbacks to flesh out the world then go from there. Maybe Ill tune in for the Fall of Reach episode but so far its the same boring slog as season 1.

I'm kinda fuzzy on a few things from the last season, didn't Makee get merked? And wasn't the Chief hosed up and Cortana running things for him? Anyway, like most others, gonna be hella mad when the show gets cancelled before they even set foot on the ring - I wanna see everything go to poo poo once Keyes goes off to look for the 'weapon cache', yo! But as for what we are getting, I kinda dig how miserably dystopian it clearly is, ONI shits being shady, colonists chafing under the twin threats of the government and insane genocidal religious nutter aliens, Dr War Crimes bursting clone kid brains with her questions, etc. Also it was bugging me who the clone girl was and it's Mon's TradCath daughter from Andor, innit.

I liked the difference between the real medal ceremony and the edited propaganda broadcast. Honestly I think the show is frustrating because there's moments of greatness but then you see a slave auction run by some weird ringleader out of a Dickens novel

At this point I think I'd almost enjoy this more if it was not associated with Halo and just a general sci fi show, it's not like they're ever gonna loving get to any halos anyways. I'm trying to understand the thought process to them not progressing the plot ever. Are the writers actually dumb enough to think they have a dozen seasons, and all the time in the world? Is it executive meddling that is forcing them to go so slow, when those same executives know they'll be cancelling this at the end of the season? I don't see how it's good for Paramount+ or their shareholders when this expensive rear end show will be forever known at the show called Halo that never actually go to the halo. Maybe they were just shooting for the moon and planning on this having Stranger Things levels of success, and if it didn't who cares anyways. Even if that was the case, there should have been some major course corrections after season 1.

Presumably space aliens with future tech might have decent medkits that work on a few different species. Or they have unlocked save scum tech.

I, for one, am thankful that they have removed permanent character death as a factor, as I hate the idea of actual stakes and drama in a show.

Monica Bellucci posted:Presumably space aliens with future tech might have decent medkits that work on a few different species. Halo 5 has a scene where you're in an encampment full of allied Elites and Grunts and all the elites are giving the Dr Halsey poo poo for having things like "medics" and "doctors" until she tells them how loving stupid they are for not practicing better field medicine. Turns out that expendable cannon fodder and recharging energy shields don't engender an army into protecting their wounded. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Feb 11, 2024 |

I mean the most obvious thing is that there is something wrong with chief and he was hallucinating. Occam's razor and all that. Anyway on to episode 2 and fuckin hell I can't give two shits about their dumb expanse ripoff space station crap. I actually like Kwan alright but she's better paired up with Chief as a foil. Also lmao at the space station apparently constructed out of concrete, what the hell E: oh okay I guess it's supposed to be on an asteroid, whatever Professor Beetus fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Feb 11, 2024 |

Technically any human would be considered a Reclaimer but the show wants to treat it like individual humans are genetically special.

I don't see how it's good for Paramount+ or their shareholders when this expensive rear end show will be forever known at the show called Halo that never actually go to the halo. My guess at this point is just that, traveling across a halo ring, visiting forerunner bases, fighting cgi enemies every episode, the flood, big battles, the invasion of earth, etc is all very pricey to film and produce. Having your cast walk around sets you've already made, brooding and unraveling conspiracies and such, is cheaper, and then you can throw in a few showpiece scenes in the season. The cheap option doesn't really map to the Halo games, which were all about grand spectacles and setpieces, so I guess it necessitates making a smaller story for it, while putting off the things that would be expensive to "some point in the future" that you can keep teasing but know you'll never actually have to do.

With the amount of money they've still clearly thrown at the show they could have made a single season of the action on a Halo installation. But they wanted a franchise with lots of seasons rather than a one-off miniseries.

I just don't think there is any real central vision for the show. It feels a lot like those group projects from school where no-one can agree on what to do so they're all doing their own stuff and mashing it together in a panic at the end. Like, one guy wants Andor style political manoeuvring away from the IPs main symbols, another guy wants MC to do badass action stunts, another guy really likes the later Halo games and wants to throw in a bunch more Spartans people mostly don't care about, someone is over in the corner trying to give the Convenant a bit more character, and everyone is afraid of doing anything too ambitious for fear of loving it up for everyone.
