How they can make an action packed game so boring is beyond me…
This episode was not an episode that needed almost 60 minutes. The episode was unfocused, cutting between three storylines with one of them (Madrigal) that is totally uninteresting. I wish they would focus on John and Halsey’s story and drop the other two storylines. Kwan Ha and her story continues to be the weak spot of this series. The character and story are uninteresting, the character acts irrationally. The rest of Silver team was boring until one of them does something to become more interesting.
Why wont he keep his fucking helmet on? Lol
I really cannot tell if this is good or not. It shows hints of greatness and some of the performances are excellent.
But the script is wonky, MC having his helmet off constantly is awful, and some of the CGI is shocking.
I'm hanging on because I'd love this to be the next Expanse, but really have my doubts.
So did John become "special" because he touched the artifact as a child or did he found it because he had something in him from birth ?
Boring!! Episode one was only one with action so far.
I'm finding this Kwan character super annoying. They could've made her a little more likable.
And the award for the most obnoxious character in this series goes to Kwan.
Can't stand this bitch
I think there's still good potential for this series to be more aligned with the game lore.
Wow… at least the game has nothing to do with this series…. So boring… I wish I would have spent this time actually playing halo… yikes
Really enjoying the the whole season just think the footsteps of the spartan or just a tad over emphasized :grin:
This episode developed the story further. I want to know where these artifacts came from.
Episode was very disappointing and felt like it should have been more focused, instead of jumping around.
Fun episode. Wish we didn’t have to wait a week.
56 | This episode tried so hard to make Dr. Halsey a dangerous person but failed. As a person who controlled the Spartan tech, she did not seem powerful enough, which might be because of how she has written or the actress's acting. This episode felt so slow and a bit boring, we only got a small progression with a small moment that was forgettable. There was a chance to develop Kwan Ha into a more interesting character but this show just blew it with unmemorable death.

@FinFan - Recall that the reptilian creatures were seeking "an object" that turned out to be young Makee. Their staffs tracked her across the galaxy, and reacted as they got closer. They prolly didn't even know for sure who or what they were looking for, so I feel it's something special within her and by extension John, although John appears to be getting more "woke" (in a GOOD way) every time he interacts with the artifacts. Or, perhaps it is a Keymaster / Gatekeeper scenario ala Louis and Dana in Ghostbusters (1984). Just my two centavos worth.
@Mookie - Remember, they are trying to flesh out a first person shooter video game into a cogent series, that has to appeal to not just fans of the game, but normies as well, so, individuals, and even NPC's are given back stories to make it more interesting to those unfamiliar with the concepts or game play. (as well as stretching things out to fill up those 60ish minutes per episode) Thus we follow John-117's journey of discovery, not only of his lost memories (origin story) but his quest of discovery as far as the artifacts go. Halsey singular determination to pursue and possess all knowledge is really just a guise for her unfettered thirst for power, thus her mental cruelty to the children in order to turn them into obedient killing machines. This IMO will be her undoing, as almost occurred with John, but for his fondness and trust of her. Kai-125 however seems wound MUCH tighter, but with LESS self control than John, as shown by her imitation of him and subsequent tonsorial freestyling's. (also she just has batshizz crazy eyes) Her reaction to her recovered memories and betrayals may prove to be interesting, soon.
Yes, Kwan Ha's storyline is indeed also IMO the weakest link. She is uninteresting, bratty and petulant in the worst way, and, all she has proven she is able to do so far is get all her relatives killed and expose the rebels to their enemies. But they needed something to justify Bokeem Woodbine's presence and salary, so, yeah I guess.
Burn Gorman is once again miscast as the villain, unless they were looking to fill the little man with a Napoleonic syndrome trope. IRL he would get pimp slapped "Big Willie style', monkey stomped, and sent back home to his momma, so to me it's quite comical when he tries to be menacing. As Kim K would prolly say, "....no big D energy"..
