Watching the serialized seasons (seasons 5-8) rly showed jon's talent when it came to quality storytelling. i mean even tho seasons 1-4 were mostly tongue and cheek, the main characters (arbiter and chief) eventually evolved to sympathetic and relatable characters. aribter's character has a tragedy to him in the sense that since he thinks a lot alike a normal human being, due to the special circumstances he's in, he quickly devolves into a nihilistic, depressed alcoholic and u rly feel for the guy. i mean being confined into one room and always being rejected as a romantic partner after meeting dis one girl online? ion blame him. and chief? for the most part, seasons 1-6 had chief behave in the same manner. unpredictable, offensive, erratic, jus overall very "out there". but in season 7, chief does something so dark, so disgusting, that it actually changes him in the sense that he questions his own morality. up until dis point, chief never gave an ounce of thought into rly anything aside from halo. but following some events that happened in season 7, chief essentially grows the same edge that arbiter has developed over the series. by the end, these two characters have basically been thru hell and back.
overall, i think dis show is f-cking torch. so far i fw season 8. really looking forward to how jon wraps things up.
9/10
