Halo The Series | Escaping Reach (S2, E5) | Paramount+

Is this mf gonna have any armor on at any point this season

You know Master Chief Escapes planet Reach on the Pillar of Autumn Starship right? In his armor.

“Escaping Reach… in five minutes or less.”

This is the first scene in Tropic Thunder

Love the lack of recoil on these weapons

Dear Paramount, FIRE THE WRITERS AND SHOW-RUNNERS. FOLLOW THE LORE Sincerely, Halo Fans

All season long I've been sad for Riz because it felt like her time is nearing but by the end of this episode I was so dam proud of her. A worthy Spartan in my book.

Kwan ha, has more time in the screen that the fall of reach 😂. Amazing 👏🏼. The only good things that i have seen is the training of the spartans, and a better cgi.

Christopher Nolan Reportedly Interested In Purchasing ‘Halo’ TV Series Rights. Crossing my fingers

Amazing how Soren is the one that manages the most to sound like a Spartan II should in that scene... Sometime I wonder if Pablo Screiber just overthought his role. That is, he took the whole "we never should see his face because it is the player" as "I'm gonna act like a gamer of the early 2000s instead of Master Chief". It is relatable, and he does act it good... but the character was originally loved because we aspire to be more, not because we wanted to be reminded of our weaknesses. Anyway. Really hyped for this seasons disc release. Already Pre-ordered on amazon and waiting for a release date to be announced!

Such a sweet few minutes, forcing me to wish it were just a clip of a whole Series as a frame

Imagine if they did this show like how the games were. First season introduce Halsey, ONI, and the Spartans, particularly noble team. Then introduce the Covenant, and have the fall of Reach, with noble team sacrificing themselves to save Cortana and Master Chief. You can have them get picked off throughout the season like how it was in the game, in the final episode reveal Cortana and Master Chief, and then the final shot of the season could be the Pillar of Autumn teleporting away to reveal the Halo ring. That would have been hype.

Riz was the hero of this fight!

Ignoring 700 millions plus angry fans is brilliantly a paramount move. 😂😂😂

Meh

“Escaping reach” 🤓 nah stay and fight just as Noble team did

Kwan is broken, she needs psychiatric evaluation. She started seeing imaginary people. 😂😂😂

The Halo TV show is a hideous and fetal caricature of the rich universe of source material they had to work with. They had the Golden Goose in their hands and decided to strangle it and parade it’s corpse. It is founded on a flawed and completely broken premise: the creators simultaneously proclaim proudly that the show is not an adaptation and that they are creating their own story with the “Silver timeline” while also completely relying on and leeching the hard work and nuanced writing it would take to establish the universe and that was established by the original games. They have created an abomination that looks and sounds like Halo and insisting it isn’t the Halo you know, all the while stuffing the abomination with context and background from the games and completely skipping or omitting background in their own show. Here are 3 separate examples Captain Keyes death was displayed as a very emotional moment in the series. They haven’t described his motives or his mindset on much of anything by the time he dies in the show. The only bit of interesting character motive and personality for Keyes is shown in two brief scenes in the previous episode. It is painfully apparent that the showrunners are relying on the context of his character from the games to appeal for an emotional response, this is hypocritical. You cannot say that you are writing a whole new Keyes while also doing the absolute minimum to establish him as a show character and then expect an emotional response to his death because we knew him from the games. According to your logic they are two different people, and unluckily for you, they feel and look like 2 different people. All throughout this awful series we are hammered over the head with the idea that John is The Master Chief, the paragon of human achievement and the greatest hero of humanity. Everywhere anyone goes in this show his armor and title is plastered everywhere. He has hologram ads in the streets and posters with inspiring words inside military installations. At the same time you display a character whose feats in battle are no more impressive than any of the other Spartan IIs that are portrayed, in terms of skill and notability he is of the same caliber as the rest of the Spartans, not noteworthy in the slightest. On the worst side of things you display a soldier who questions authority, is repeatedly insubordinate to the point of treason, and struggles to regulate his emotions, he conducts himself as a child. The man is an absolute liability, how on earth is this man child given the amount of praise and respect he is? Here we are again with them simultaneously saying they are portraying a different Master Chief while also stealing his status and context with none of the work or context to justify portraying him as such, it is pitiful and laughable. The Halo Ring itself. Never in the series has the origin, function, or danger of the Halo Ring been explained, either in a Covenant context or human context. They haven’t even landed or seen a Halo proper until Ep 7 of Season 2. And yet all through season II we have had The Covenant, ONI, Halsey, Cortana, and Master Chief all know what a Halo ring is, what it does, and “know” from DNA memory how it works. What the actual fetch. They are relying on our understanding from the games without showing an ounce of research or groundwork from people like Halsey to uncover their secrets. It is absolutely disgusting how unbelievably lazy the storytelling is.

I WANT MORE SEASONS OF HALO TV SHOW!!! 🔥🔥🔥

0:42 Gonna m33m this part. I love it
