Halo [Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi] (Page 2 of 3)

102 was interesting, but I think this show needs to be marathoned all at once.  Really enjoying the world building though.

I don't want to give a final verdict on it this early in - I feel that despite some of the lackluster elements it still satisfies my thirst for sci-fi that the Halo games have. I would say the show is a solid 5.5/10 so far.

One thing that is bothering me is the Kwan-Ha. Why are all shows fucking focused on a braindead 0 IQ main/support characters?

That's what I would give it too

I took a look on IMDB and the show is bombarded with negative reviews. I dont get it really, I find the show enjoyable and would give it a solid 8/10 so far with one episode left.

The only thing that still bothers me is the side story, which is neither interesting or fun to watch. I hoped the whole point of episode 7 was to make the annoying Asian lady grow and learn from her mistakes and prejudice, but it didn't seem to do anything really...

Episode 8 was great tho, a bit predictable but I couldn't care less tbh, still fun to watch it unfold. I like when characters can change view points as they gain new information from what they experience. If anything I would like if they stretched out the episode so we got one more before the showdown, so we could see even more character development.

Looking forward to the last episode.

My only real gripe with the show is that for someone that never removes their helmet (from what I have seen), he is doing it a lot.

Thanks for mentioning Fringe, it was a great show I'd forgotten. I'll definitely start re-watching it as well

Got bored and dropped it at episode 5 or 6 or something, actually, was bored of it long before that (like episode 2) but kept giving it more chances cause I used to be such a big fan of the game. It didn't even bother me that he took off his helmet, that was probably the least of the shows offences.

Apart from the first 5 minutes of episode 1, this was not Halo.

Honestly, I'd give this a 3/10

I thought that was sarcasm at first.

I wish the show had used more of its potential, but I will tune in again for season 2.

I liked it and will check out S2 as well. I haven't played Halo since Combat Evolved on the original Xbox. No complaints, no comparisons, no fucks given.

That might partially explain it. But I didn't play Halo and can only give it a 7/10. Everything looked really good, but the story-telling and acting could have been better IMHO.

Heck, that's my approach when it comes to the same television franchise series. I never had any problems separating the NuTrek films and the new Trek series' from the classics, and judging them on their own merits, even though they're one and the same from a franchise standpoint. Probably a few of the reasons why I enjoy watching them, with the exception of Discovery, but that's another topic.

I just finished season 1 and atleast  you are given lots and lots of monsters/aliens. You get your monies worth, unlike those other recent scifi shows "Invasion" and "Monarch:legacy of monster show" which by comparison come across as cheapo skinflint shows on low budgets. I just hope we eventually are told what the ring is ( unlike Stargate Universe where we are never told what the deep secret  embedded in the universe the ship was designed to investigate)
