    Improvement on episode 1

    I really enjoyed the world building this episode has. Its not giving you the action but I understand whats happpening in the universe and the motivations all around much better. Felt like it went 1-2 scenes too long but overall solid.

    Great scify with lovely visuals

    Another really good episode. Not as action packed as the first one, and more of a transport exposition episode which we need to have in order to know what is going on and to expand upon this world.

    As in the first episode the visuals and computer animations are great, we get to see more aliens, more cool stuff, more cool places.

    I still reserve a bit of hesitation due to the acting not being 100%, especially from the asiatic girl who's line delivery reminds me of a brick wall. I also feel that they are trying to make this too much into a political "The Expanse" variant. I think it is great that they tell us what is going on and who the players are and why we should care, but I do not think that is why people watch this show. The Expanse got away with it because it was the core of that show and they had actors and source material to tap into. Halo is more of a shoot, blow things up, kill aliens story and they should keep to that strength.

    But this is still giving me great vibes and so far so good. A weak 8/10, let us now move on from exposition and get to more action please.

    Steven Spielberg's "Halo: The Soap Opera" - Part II

    This episode is a snooze-fest. The director, Otto Bathurst, seems to believe that by simply employing lingering shots it makes a scene important. In reality, all it does is slow down the pacing. The character angst continues to be spread on nice and thick. On the plus side, this episode actually focussed on the Master Chief, John-117. Then again, the Master Chief didn't do anything of consequence, other than emote. But this is a soap opera, so this is what we get. Now imagine a Halo series where (a) John-117 was the primary character (b) John-117 did NOT remove his helmet before the end of the first episode and (c) there were angst-ridden tweenagers. Wouldn't you rather watch that series than this soap fest???

    Done Very Well

    I loved playing Halo since the 1st release. This is a well done Sci-Fi show wrapped in a Halo skin. Second episode is solid. The acting and CGI holds up. This might just be an excellent replacement for The Expanse.

    Very well done

    A big improvement on episode 1.

    This included some depth into the characters that haven't been seen before in Halo and is not cringe. It actually starts to make a bit of sense why master chief is who he is. There's no action but dialogue and screenplay is 100x better than first episode. I was doubtful but now I am so excited for the rest of the series.

      When Master Chief and Kwan arrive at The Rubble, Master Chief presses a button to open the seemingly automated door. You can see a pair of feet under the door shuffling as someone pulls open the "automated" door.

      Laera: You want revenge.

      Kwan Ha: I want justice.

      Laera: Revenge and justice are easy to confuse.
