Halo the series is owned by Paramount Plus
Directed by Dennie Gordon
We’re over the hill and barreling down at lightning speed towards a conclusion that everyone is scrambling to get ready for. The last episode was certainly a lurch with how much they tried to cram in and how they tried to stitch it all together, but with that work out of the way, does this episode ramp up more organically as it takes us into the big finale? Let’s find out!!
With Chief and Cortana back in contact, there’s not much that can stand in his way as he gets revenge against Ackerson and finds his stolen armor. Of course, that ends up being small potatoes when it turns out that the Covenant fleet is within spitting distance of the Halo and the UNSC are still in bad shape after the attack on Reach. With little more than the barely trained Spartan IIIs to throw at the problem, Parangosky makes a fateful choice that puts Ackerson in a rather awkward position, and that’s before he runs into the mighty fists and burning wrath of Chief as well as Kai who is similarly ticked off about being lied to. Humanity’s hope may lie in what Halsey, Miranda, and Kwan have found in the caves of Onyx, if only they knew how to activate it, and time is running short as Makee and The Arbiter are on their way to the ring with little on their mind but salvation through utter annihilation. Can Chief put aside his anger long enough to save humanity now that the Covenant have their eyes on the celestial doomsday weapon? What secrets will we learn once Halsey, Miranda, and Kwan open the door to the long dormant secrets left beneath the surface of Onyx? I’m still unsure why ONI thought Chief was better suited as a dead poster than as a butt kicking warrior, but you do you, I suppose.
