Season 2 was really frustrating, as we seem to have spent most of it getting right back to where season 1 left off. Now, we're in a very odd place with it, and I'm not sure how we jump off of here to the next season. I'm glad that we finally got to the Halo ring, and I'm frankly unsurprised that they burned through three quarters of the Halo CE storyline in one episode. It made for an extremely satisfying episode that gives us a great example of how much you should change things to properly adapt to the new medium, while also retaining the core of what it is you're adapting. If it was me, though, I'd have had this be the penultimate episode and had the Ring blow up by the end of the finale. That's a strong starting point for the next season, while where we end up feels a bit wishy-washy. Are we just gonna pick up five minutes after we left off? Are we really gonna have a ground war after Makee more or less explained that the ring is TOO powerful? Are there any other surprises to reveal now that we know about the Flood? If the showrunners choose to be bold, we could go off in completely unexpected directions and find a great story because of it. If, however, they get rattled by even more fan complaints and try to, once again, start from scratch for season 3, then I don't think it's going to work. Maybe it will be enjoyable enough, but I'm guessing it would be even more of a slog than season 2 was.

I don’t think those are bites. I think it’s where these little carrier forms are burrowing into people without them realizing.
