      You're just nitpicking at this point. We've seen other instances where needlers have delayed detonation.
      The episode where Chief saves Kai for example. A marine gets pierced by a barrage of needles in the chest. It takes a few seconds to explode.
      Kai mentions in another scene that the needles home in on flesh, avoiding armor.
      So Arbiter got shot. Several needles just straight up bounce off his armor. One managed to penetrate a bit. But obviously not all the way.

    The Fall of Reach was so impactful because it’s the heart of the UNSC. In the book, EVERY Spartan was on the ground, fully armored up, and yet the Covenant still obliterated them. I really don’t understand this show. Apparently a Spartan in fatigues still fights as if they have MJOLNIR, but that’s also somehow the only way they can die.

I agree with your criticism though, which makes me think, do they even have a plan for this show or are they flying by the seat of their pants? Like what story are they actually telling? With Keyes' death, I think it's safe to assume that we are going to get little to no overlap with the plot from the games. They are subverting that story at every opportunity.

    Nothing in this show makes sense. It flips between idiot plot and straight up nonsense if you think about any scene too long.
    From the macro scale where the simple premise of the 'higher ups' abandoning humanities biggest military force in order to 'fight another day', without even giving them warning enough to stall the enemy. Or cortana not being taken or deleted, which raises questions about other computer data... Earth...
    ... To the micro scale where marines leave defendable positions to die in the dark with no flashlights, elites forget about plasma rifles or cover until it's relevant, or how arbiter just kinda shows up to kill chief, isn't allowed to, and then leaves, without any reason for being there at all and abandoning an opportunity to capture chief.

    This one is tough. Honestly I think I like the other episodes better purely from the fact that there’s a few things that really piss me off abt this episode. Namely, why in the ever living fuck would Ackerson leave behind Cortana, one of the UNSCs most important intelligence and military assets, when the whole idea was to save assets to be able to win a fight another day. Another thing, why would the covenant not seize the opportunity to kill chief, the other Spartans, and capture Halsey, which are also extremely important military and intelligence assets. It’s like they just walk up there to kill some marines and fuck off? What purpose does that serve.

    My take is that, it's certainly been the most enjoyable episode of the show to date, only to have the final few minutes take a steaming dump. Someone else said it best, the thing that annoys me about the deaths of Keyes and Vannak wasn't that i liked them, it's that i was beginning to like Vannak and, tbh, i didn't really like Keyes all that much. They were shit characters in season 1 to begin with, while Vannak got some much needed personality, and Keyes, as you said, was hyper-dismissive in eps 1-3.
    Shit, i was watching the newest episode of a currently airing anime last night (it's had 7 eps so far) and i was leagues more upset at that character's death than i was at either death by Keyes and Vannak.

    3.5/10 for me.. Took forever for Chief to get to FleetCom and no armor at all makes this lackluster as it wouldve fit perfectly in this episode or atleast a older battle worn version that couldve been the OG Macworld version or something. Also Keyes death was so stupid and he shouldve commanded Perez to disconnect the lines or have a quick disconnect from the ship to the lines instead of the lines to the console.... Also wouldve helped if Soren did something at that moment to build up his character with Keyes and Halsey. Also Makee is making this show so worse by being back. And the whole gay blind albino black kamikaze scene is sooo /sigh lol I mean talking about a DEI ESG inclusion standard diversity equality sponsorship and identity hire. And wtf is up with the one scorpion tank and 20 marines for the main fleetcom evac... Makes the game Halo Reach seem sooo much greater... I was expecting some shuttles being shot down and waves of phantoms and carriers dropping in. While ODSTs and Spartan III's doing sidewinder attacks. Keyes couldve told Chief about his backup plan of the Pillar of Autumn being at the shipyard for repairs and it being their last ride out of here after helping the civilians evac from FleetCom.

    Cortana was purposefully left behind for Makee to take. Cortana can cause viruses to enemy computers, gather intel, cause division among the covenant, etc. Cortana will likely be the catalyst for a change in whose winning the war.

    Vannick dying really fit the feeling of reach and all but noble six die in the end. With the way things are going I would not doubt that Rizz also dies before the season is over. However the potential of show drops so much with Keys out of the picture, that was a TERRIBLE writing move. His character had so much more to pull viewers in before dropping him that is a shame to do it not and in this way

    To be honest I was like: maybe this could be before the game: HALO:REACH (in this show universe of course). But then Keyes dies and I was like: Okay maybe not. 😂 But still i enjoyed it and teared up when reach was getting destroyed (and when Vannak with Keyes died.) Because HALO:REACH is my most favourite HALO game and seeing that destruction again... emotions were strong for me in this episode I really want to see that installation ring and flood at least in the last episode of this season.
    Please respect my opinion that I like this show 😄🙏

    I can tell they are going for an Iron Man/Spiderman "You don't deserve the suit if you're nothing without it" vibe, and frankly I think they executed it quite well. But it just bugs me seeing Sliver Team without their armor. Especially when the reason sounds a bit forced.
    Also, somehow no one has an energy sheild in this season. I thought it might just be an VFX error in the first few episode (like that wooden plasma pistol in season 1), but apparently the technology just lost in between seasons I guess?

    The most interesting reveal to me this episode was John-117 explaining how he can see/predict the future. That explains some of his finishes of Covenant grunts and confidence overall. I'd prefer John recovers faster after a fight (as a Spartan, I image him having a heart rate of 40 bpm after taking out a Covenant Elite), and I think they could lean harder into him being really smart, as they showed in Season 1. As someone not originally invested in the Halo games, but just a sci-fi fan -- this is a really, really good show! Different mediums, people!

    After "hate watching" episodes 1-4, and screaming at my television throughout each episode, I have made the decision to stop for the sake of my blood pressure and mental health. I grew up playing the games and reading the novels. Call me a nerd, but I can't help but feel a nostalgic love for the universe created by the Halo IP; so watching this adaptation has felt like watching the slow, methodical torture of a loved one. At this point, I don't want my "gotta watch the train wreck" viewership to count towards some metric that Paramount+ touts as a positive, so I am done. The actors and creative team behind this adaptation could have done something magical. They could have been so loved by a massive community of die hard fans. Instead, they chose to pander. It would be funny if it wasn't so god damned sad.
