    Better story, better dialogue, better episode

    A much stronger episode, the plot is now developing in interesting and entertaining ways. The dialogue is significantly superior to episode 2 (albeit from a low base), especially the fragrant Natascha McElhone who was sub-par last time. Charlie Murphy is fabulous as Makee and is given something to get her teeth into which is salient in moving the plot forward. Excellent to see more of the everyday life Master Chief does not have, framing his origins and relationship to the artefact.

    On the downside, a full third of the episode is burnt on brain-swap mumbo jumbo, though it is hilarious to make an imaginary/AI woman and it can talk the back legs off a donkey!

    Overall, the most absorbing and enjoyable episode to-date.

    I'm on board !

    This third episode sealed the deal for me; I'm in for the this full first season of Halo!

    The writing is pretty solid and the sets are very nice and the CGI top notch which kinda worries me where they'll find the money to finish this season on par visually or even think of a second season.....

    Thanks Paramount and keep it coming !

    Put on your helmet

    Very good episode but I won't rate 10 stars until he finally has his helmet on.

    Otherwise, the episode was very good. I like the direction the script is going. The story keeps getting more interesting and mysterious.

    Shows gotten a whole lot more interesting

    Not quite sure what all the hate about the show is, but honestly I quite like the direction the shows heading at the moment and how this episode dives deeper into John's character, his inner conflicts and showing more of a "personality" to him.

    Off with the helmet, on with the emotions and breakdowns.

    Not only does this not feel like Halo, but they actively go in and make it worse it seems. As not only is MC a emotional wreak, but we keep seeing them make dumb moves and add stuff that makes no sense. Why can the human control worms and does Airlocks not work on human ships, and no one seems to target the little girl clearly in control of the worms... Why ?

    It's like it goes from meh, to why the hell did they do that all the time. As if they don't know how to write sci-fy, but that they also want to make it clear they don't want to use anything actual made for Halo. The only things we can point to being the same is the odd name here and there, but the characters seems nothing like what we knew and loved. They are either changed physically or emotionally into something twisted and cursed.

    It's clear this would have been done better if they hadn't linked it to Halo, as they then wouldn't have to be compared to better things, and would by simply virtue of being something else be judge better. But that isn't what they did so we have to compare them, and they fall short by a mile to live up to what we are use to in this universe.

    Even people that know nothing about Halo actually finds this forgettable and kind meh, but even hat would be better praises than what it gets now by linked up to the Halo universe.

    This isn't the Silver Timeline, it's the Lead Timeline. Slow and heavy to move on and harmful to harmful to digest because it damages your brain.

      Soren-066: Deuterium money, huh?

      Kwan Ha: I swear, you won't regret it.

      Soren-066: Oh, I know I won't regret it. I'm gonna get paid either way. If not from you, then from the bounty on your head. You get me?
