      yeah, I really don't like how characters can get out of situations like that so many times in the show. Chief, kawn, miranda, so many times they could have easily died and the writers purposely make some loophole to save them. its just not good writing and it loses any tension infact it just makes deaths less impactful because you can tell it can happen anytime whenever the writers feel like it

      the worst thing was shove them here instead of doing the pillar of autumn stuff, and introduce them after on the ring with the soldiers tapes kinda stuff, which was a legendary cutscene of the game.

      This is basically canon now. Proof:
      Kwan Ha’s ancestor/grandma ghost has the symbol of “the growth” aka the flood on her forehead
      Kwan, chief and Makee, all are “blessed ones”
      Kwan’s ancestor guides her to releasing the flood, sending visions to her similar to how Graceland does to chief in the games
      Halsey finds the dna of human + other dna as a pre-requisite to the keystone on onnx. She searches for this DNA to create Spartans.
      Guilty spark mentions that “it” possibly the graveling is waiting for them inside of the ring.
      Only other thing that makes sense is that visions are somehow coming from the librarian instead but I doubt it

    That Flood spore might've been dormant for a while, hence delaying the mutation of the first person who was infected. But after infecting half the ONI base, surely the Flood would start incubating infection forms, making carriers, and more spores? And the infection would speed up rapidly and we'd get some proper looking combat forms? Also why were they just standing around when infected and let Kwan/Soren, more potential hosts just walk past? Oh yeah, because they need them to do that for the sake of the plot.

    When the Flood was held back by mystic lady, I thought it was the Gravemind the whole time, leading her on to release it, "rewarding" her with knowledge seconds before consuming her.
    Except that would have actually been a really cool idea. Nah, I guess space shaman is as powerful as the Gravemind.
    Also, while projecting to her mind, Kwan was unaffected. So she's stronger than Chief in Halo 3 when the Gravemind spoke to him and he could barely walk.
    I've been binging SG-1 and it's endlessly more Halo than this generic sci-fi trash fire.

    The entire Flood plot is so vague.
    So let me get this straight, “The Mother” leads Kwan, Halsey, Miranda to the Forerunner lab which contains the Flood, unleashing it. So you start to think “The Mother” is a forerunner consumed by the Flood becoming part of the Gravemind. Because she is the entire reason why it got unleashed. But then “The Mother” reveals she can hold off the Flood and reveals to Kwan that the Flood is her enemy and they are after Kwan. So “the Mother” released the flood just to reveal that this is her enemy to everyone…. 🥲

    • @billyhopkins10
      @billyhopkins10 3 місяці тому

      @@JJO117 it’s speculation. I know in the existing lore by 343 (not bungie’s lore) the flood are reanimated forms of the Precursor’s that have been corrupted. In Bungie’s Joe Staten Reclaimer Arc they left it up to your imagination on how the flood originated. But look on Hiddenexperia’s video about this show. He says he understands the show runners do not lean on the existing cannon, so whatever his theory might be, he can be wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️. He did not predict Captain Keyes dying, that’s for sure or Halsey being infected.
      Nothing is off the table with this show. Pillar of autumn hasn’t been introduced, or blue team, Tartarus, didact, prometheans. That’s all pre existing lore that can be ignored for this show. Last time I checked human Sharman mystic’s were not in the original Halo timeline by Bungie or 343 but they are in this one. There was no mention of “the mother” either.
      My comment about “the mother” is that it did not make sense to me. That this character guided Kwan the entire time to be a protector of Halo, told her it was her destiny to protect the ring, but then this same Mother lead Kwan to the Flood. Unleash it.
      Good for you, on being a Hiddenexperia fan and supporting him. If that’s your theory, the precursors are also in this universe more power to you. No matter what we speculate you just have to wait and see until season 3.
      Some others say Guilty Spark is the mastermind behind it all. Who knows.

    I just... I can't even... I want to ask a serious question: What made the flood so impactful in the original Halo?
    You have this big, mysterious construct. Nobody knows what it is or does. And you have this fight between the covenant and humanity. And then we find out the Halo has some "deep religious significance" and that it may be a weapon. And Keyes goes off looking for a weapon cache. But then we put Cortana into the control room and omg, Keyes is doing something bad and it's not a weapons cache. And we go there. And we see all this creepy shit and then we see this horrible stuff through the soldier's recording and then... bam, the flood comes out. And everything changes. The covenant are running for their lives, Chief is working with Guilty Spark until... wait, Halo would wipe out all life, actually. it doesn't kill flood, it kills their food! And now the humans are dead, the covenant is fleeing and Guilty Spark is trying to chop off our head and dispose of the rest!
    See where I'm going with this? There's a very specific sequence of events that happened which made all of it work. One thing happening before another. It's very, very important things happen in this specific order.
    But on the TV show we find out Halo is a weapon before the flood is even introduced. Then the flood is introduced before Jimmy even sets foot on the ring. And then I guess his POW fuckbuddy reveals it kills everything just... cuz?
    They just screwed it up. They've screwed up the flood completely already and they've barely been introduced.

    Watching this show as a lore nerd.........IS JUST ABSOLUTE PAIN AND AGONY.
    -The Fall of Reach being 1, arguably 2 episodes max when it was a pivotal battle in Halo lore is insulting. It deserved a full season and barely touched on anything from the book or game.
    -The Spartan 3's being shoehorned in post Reach is odd. Granted I liked a few bits here and there with them and Kai, overall I think adding them in during that point was stupid.
    -Having the Flood be released on Onyx and in such a pitiful way is disgusting, and not in the good space zombies way. It would've been terrifying to see Infection forms crawling around and bursting out of people's chest. I know its an early outbreak but the slugs and akward neck tentacles just felt....cheap.
    -Having the Halo be so close to human space is ridiculously inept.
    -CHEIF IS ABLE TO FLY THROUGH SPACE FASTER IN HIS ARMOR THAN AN ENTIRE ARMADA OF SLIPSPACE CAPABLE ALIEN SHIPS.
    -Kwan getting a get out of jail free card when surrounded by discount Flood zombies, insane plot armor.
    -The lack of security just letting Chief walk around freely and an entire outbreak later on is hystericaly mind boggling.
    I have more but this is only top of the list for this series and its horrible flaws. I was slightly intrigued when they brought up the spores but was soon crushed upon the remaining bit of the episode. Such a waste of resources, honestly. Sorry for the borderline autistic rant.

    The stuff with Kai and the 3’s was the highlight of this one for me, but even that was ruined by her last words being a crap little quip. The rest of the episode felt…empty. Not a clue what was going on with Kwan’s visions, Halsey getting infected while Miranda is perfectly okay was…a choice and Makee survived because of course she did. Was so hoping Jimmy Rings would just launch that energy sword at her and be done with it.

Why do I have to see Perez panicky eyes when Kai "sacrifices" herself and we dont actually see the explosion you hear in the background.

    As always, the reviews on this channel and others are way better than the episodes. I've never seen the episodes from this season or the previous one, and I've only watched the reviews.
    We were right that the trailers showing Reach being annihilated was some trick to make us believe things were retconned from Season 1, and that we would actually watch something true to Halo. The season was again more of a boring drama than a sci fi action. Mackee somehow returns. Reach's destruction didn't feel inpactful and convincing like Halo: Reach. Master Cheeks still shows his face and can fight without his armor. Keyes is killed very early without ever being seen commanding a ship against Covenant fleets. Cortana is a guide to the enemy for reasons I don't know why. The Flood are introduced not on the ring but I guess from some Forerunner structure found by Kwan. The finale felt too weak to even be considered one, and the production was so cheap.
    This wasn't made for Halo fans, and I'm sure sci fi fans in general who never played the games were extremely bored.
