It's brilliant to fuck, instead of draining some cabinet general, they decided to remove a unique specialist who developed their most important military asset and put a 20-year-old pacifier in her place)7)7))))
@thuglifer: that normal little one)) I went to do it right away to solve the issues) I almost killed the Chief. even AI was more worried about him than these two unique specialists, they are exactly the same field of berries
Yes, it is also obvious that the main general's wife has problems with Halsey, she tramples on her authority and does all sorts of things behind her back, she is unpredictable and uncontrollable. Since the first episode, she has been looking for reasons to remove it
It's not fucking clear, but it's very interesting) I hope that the woman who was supposed to feed the Poppies noticed the blade from her finger, and she will be exposed. I don't know Laura, but I hope she doesn't kill anyone else.
yeah, they caught a powerful arrival from the artifact)) but at least the series is active again) and without Kwan (thanks a lot for that) Cortana at the moment with the question of disconnection seems to have finally decided which side she is on) and this is clearly not her creator) I hope this laser will not be blessed) there's only a movement in their relationship with John) well, the new Halsey is clearly the same, only more naivety) and she still doesn't know about daddy)
It was worth dropping one of the storylines, and it even became interesting. Although how humanity is still alive with such a military is a mystery to me.
@S42: According to LORE, humanity was still alive only because the Covenants had difficulty finding planets inhabited by humans. Every time there is a risk of capture, the databases are erased, and when retreating, the ships jump into subspace in any random direction that does not lead to any of the human worlds. This was the only way they survived in the early years of the war. Although it is somehow useless to use ENT for this series, it will be harshly abused here.
I understand that these artifacts were created by some ancient race, and represent a compass for searching for the ringworld created by the same race, on which the Chief and Blondie found themselves. It's interesting krch
Although the whole series consisted of half-empty dialogues, but in the end at least some animation and intrigue went on. In general, it is better than many previous ones (except for those where there was direct action). Well, it's not even worth mentioning about Kwan-Ha (it's almost like a hateful stamp in every episode), thank God she was almost not here.
God, am I the only one pissed off by the line with Kwang Ha? From the very beginning to this episode, all her behavior is not enough to say stupid, but also feigned as from a novice actress.. It's like the writers of sidab came and made this character. For the rest, there are no complaints yet, Natasha is still a beauty, the Chief compared to the Mandalorian (because of the helmets, this comparison cannot be avoided, I'm sorry) is a head taller and much more presentable. In general, so far everything is fine, the final, as always, will decide everything, we will wait)
@FlorisT: "a cut above" and literally =))) (figuratively speaking, I'm not sure that it's appropriate to compare them at all, Mando has not been subjected to such manipulations and augmentations)
Despite all the fanfare from the fan base and the relatively driving pilot series, after more than half the season, it's worth admitting that Halo turned out to be a failure after all.
The line with Kwang Ha is generally one of the worst written that I have seen in my life. If there were a lot of different events and circumstances in the Game of Thrones, in order for the "girl to become nobody", then only one episode was enough here. At the same time, not the aliens who staged the massacre were chosen as the target for revenge, but a new, quite legitimate ruler
The storyline with Kai is also unclear. Why was the implant removed if there was literally nothing behind this action? She does not challenge the orders of her superiors, does not incite other Spartans to free themselves from the shackles of digital slavery, does not try to redefine a new self. It is not clear what all this was for then.
And Dr. Halsey is just the wildest miskast. Well, never mind Natasha McElhone, who still looks like the wife of a drinking writer from California. But after all, the character himself is not suitable for the role of an antagonist at all. Well, I don't believe that Dr. Halsey is an evil genius who weaves intrigues and pulls strings like a doll...kulle... kulo...kukold, in short.
An ordinary unremarkable scientist, from whom the screenwriters forcibly sculpt a villain. Well, just so that it would be. And the whole series is literally permeated with this concept. Some storylines are empty and sucked out of the finger, others are absolutely stupid and not authentic.
I didn't have any hopes for Halo, but they could have done much better
Was it weak to raise Spartans from orphans? And the children would not catch flashbacks in case of anything, and the parents would not have to slip half-dead clone children
@id2950794: they were selected not from anyone, but from the medical file: the healthiest and smartest from birth. It seems even taking into account their genetics.
@Nervius: Have you tried to be friends with logic? What is the percentage of orphans out of the total number of children? How many Spartans were selected? A couple hundred? Even just using statistics incorrectly, we get a figure 20 times less. Good luck with the 10-man army. And if it is correct, then even less...
@walsnake: do you know what percentage of orphans out of the total number of children? Make friends with logic too, please, and think that in the real world it is easier to attract orphans who are not socially protected than to take children away from their parents. In addition, the series does not say at all that there are still Spartan detachments. In general, their world is cardboard and boilerplate.
@Nervius: the fact that their world is cardboard is for sure. But again, if you are friends with statistics, and turn on cynicism to the fullest, then children often become orphans not because of an accident in which their parents died. And due to the fact that the parents were originally cretins, which makes them and their offspring not the best genetic material for the production of super soldiers for whom 100% ideal candidates were selected, and even they were far from all able to undergo modification procedures. It is economically impractical to select orphans, it would even be more expensive because of the increased risks. And do not forget that orphans do not mean that no one cares about them. There is such a paper trail behind them that if something happens to them, it will become much more noticeable for the state system than with a child from a family who is not under such close control. And the project, I remind you, was initially secret, not ethical, and all those involved would have been shot at least in pre-war times. To trick several hundred parents by giving them sick clones, no matter how immoral it may be, is bureaucratically and economically more expedient than trying to fool the state machine.
Holy shit! to pour billions into research and remove a specialist, not to take away research, not to put under eternal house arrest, there is zero logic. And the daughter who joyfully took everything from her mother, does not protect her, but wants to kill her?????
It was only in this episode that I remembered where I had seen the Chief before, I was getting old, how could I forget Mad Sweeney and his jokes about a dead wife)
At the time when Hank Moody's woman picked up the child, she was about thirty years old, let's say. Now Master Chief is about forty-five years old, and she just changed her haircut. She must be an old woman already seventy years old
I hope that the woman who was supposed to feed the Poppies noticed the blade from her finger, and she will be exposed. I don't know Laura, but I hope she doesn't kill anyone else.
but at least the series is active again) and without Kwan (thanks a lot for that)
Cortana at the moment with the question of disconnection seems to have finally decided which side she is on) and this is clearly not her creator)
I hope this laser will not be blessed) there's only a movement in their relationship with John)
well, the new Halsey is clearly the same, only more naivety) and she still doesn't know about daddy)
Of course, the series was shot well, but there is so much idiocy.

The music in this moment and in the credits is beautiful.
