Episode Thoughts
Another episode that was appropriately titled. This week's episode dealt with characters' allegiances and how some relationships are breaking down and others are blossoming-ish. A good chunk of this episode is dedicated to Chief and Maake as they are basically in sync with one another and understand each other on a level no one else does. The episode does an excellent job of showing these two characters beginning to trust each other and I think that works even if it is a little cliche. I don't know what it is but every time I think that I can't despise Dr. Halsey any more than what she did in the previous episode the writer's up the ante. This woman here is certifiable at this point. She continues to be a problem and it was nice to see a couple of interactions she had with characters this week. Next week is the season finale and I am just glad that somebody told her about herself. The politics within the UNSC is also on full display here as the chain of command is still trying to hide the truth about the Spartan program from Chief which at this point isn't a good idea. The last 20 minutes of this episode does a really good job of setting things up for the season finale. I think it's going to be a very interesting episode, especially with what happened at the end.
Just So Ya Know
This episode is a little on the short side, clocking at 47 minutes. That being said they do get to the point and everything feels important to the plot. There is an implied sex scene and a little bit of gore but other than that your standard fan action-adventure style of show. Next week's season finale will be very interesting depending on what they do. My prediction at the beginning of the season was that Reach was going to fall, I don't think that it will but I do think whatever happens will lead to the first Halo ring. I am hoping that Season 2 unleashes the Flood and both the Covenant and the UNSC realize how screwed they really are. What did you think of the episode? What do you think will happen in the season finale? Please leave a comment and let's talk about it.
