A few brief thoughts:
[SPOILER="Random thoughts"]
It makes sense that they made Spartan-IIIs essentially the same role as the IVs, but why is Perez one? She was on a comms team and has showed practically no battle prowess.
Not a fan of revenge Chief but it makes sense for this version of the show.
I’d guess we’ll get Spartan-III teams fighting on Reach next episode, even though that’s a stupidly fast turnaround from training to battle.
I liked seeing Kai’s reaction to Reach during the training sim.
One thing I think the series is missing is just how badly humanity is on the back foot against the Covenant.
According to subtitles that hooded priest Elite was named Uto ‘MDAMA, I don’t know how Covenant names work but that’s interesting.
Bit of a jump from “Chief is alive” to “Chief defected to the Covenant.”
Interesting how Cortana is working with Makee and how her connection to the artifacts is gone.
That Kai vs. John fight was brutal, dang.
We really needed Cortana back with Chief, that’s the best part of Halo and exactly what we needed here in my opinion.
Ackerson is definitely manipulating the simulation because the IIIs aren’t supposed to make it out of the ships, they’re suicide troopers.
Interested to see this black ops team Ackerson deployed.
Finally, more Miranda.
What is this Arbiter’s shame?
Come on, it cut to commercial and I thought it had a few more minutes but it was just credits.
