It's a good thing to completely ignore the source material?

Halo is more than just a first person shooter game.

Never before in the annals of TV history have so many people waited so long only to be extremely disappointed by the product. I had in my head since 2001 what a Halo movie or TV show would look like. Something like Apocalypto had a baby with Aliens.

I wanted to see Master Chief wrecking shop on some elites. We got that like the first 10 minutes of the first show, and haven’t seen it since.

I literally fell asleep during the last episode. I give two shits about little Asian girl. I can’t imagine it can get any worse from here.

No they don't. They have zero understanding of the Halo universe.

Nah.

I’ll continue to oppose entertainment that bastardizes beloved fictional properties for the sake of your progressive politics.

I literally told you there are books with actual stories. Stories in which there’s a more in-depth look at characters, motives, scenes, etc. Things you only get in limited quantities in the games. So no I can’t fire up the Xbox and do that. I’d prefer they’d adapted one of the many books


I've played through all the games once, but I've read all of the books at least 4 or 5 times each. I would have been thrilled with an adaptation of one of the books - make Ghosts of Onyx or the Kilo-5 trilogy, but I would have been really satisfied with just a new story fit within the established Canon of the books and games. This is not that.

Like I mentioned a few pages back, this is the visual art style, costume, and universe physical settings, but it kind of ends there. I'm enjoying it, but I'm not creaming my pants like I had hoped I would be.

After Ep.4 I really like the storyline with Kai and her awakening. Looking forward to John turning on Halsey as well.

I really don't care for Ha's story. It's wasted budget to me.

i swear, if i watch this episode and it's good, but then they go back to feelings for the next two, i'll hold all of you responsible.

Finally got some fricking action.

This should have been the whole premise of the show.

It drops midnight west coast I believe.

He just watched it first thing this morning. I work from home and usually have 50 minutes before work starts so I cycle and watch shows I like that my family doesn’t want to watch during it. This is the first time I didn’t finish it before 8 because I swore it off after last week.

That was a good mix of story and action.
If they can keep that up we have is a series.

Next episode ain't gonna be more fighting.

It's gonna be that blonde chick inflating the humans. And Halsey trying to figure out what to do with master chief/kai for going rogue. Kai is more expendable to Halsey. More politicking shite.
