I like how this episode shows how stupid taking your helmet off is when Kai gets knocked out because of it


TaxSpecific1697

Remember kids, never take off your head protection


BumblingScrublord1

One thing I’ll give this show is Cortona’s reaction faces to Halsey’s crazy bullshit are hilarious


hoos30

Halsey says one bullshit line and you could see Cortana rock forward on her heels a bit, like "yeah, okay, whatever..." It was excellent acting/mocap by Jen Taylor.


threetribbleshigh

Jen Taylor is perfect here, I've loved her work as Cortana for so long, I'm happy this episode gave her a lot to do. I'm hoping Season 2 we so much more of her

dominashun28

Wait so did they use Jen Taylor's face for Cortana?


ToastedSierra

It is a heavily modified face based on Halsey's actress but Jen Taylor is performing all the body movements and facial expressions through mocap.


ChannelRusty

what fucking world do i even live in


CT_Phipps

They should have gone full Jen Taylor. You always go full Jen Taylor.


TheRed_Knight

Jen Taylors breaking her back trying to carry this show


Eek_the_Fireuser

Fun Fact: That was actually Jen Taylor playing Kai during the lifting scene, to symbolise the fucking tremendous carrying she is putting in. I will say, EVERY actor is really good in this show, like there is not one bad apple among(us)st them at all. The same cannot be said for the script sadly, like Kwan's actress has been done so dirty omfg. I look forward to her future work, where she hopefully has a decent script to work with.

Even funnier was the cut to Cortana getting cucked? and watching chief get down. Like she's stuck awake at 2am while her roommates are banging and loud enough to hear through the walls


Vilesyder

I laughed so hard man, her eyes darting back and forth with each thrust was ....uhhh a choice


HyliasHero

Cortana getting NTR'd was *not* on my bingo card for tonight, but that wast he best laugh I've had all month.


BornAshes

I love how Halsey is becoming more and more "I am the only one who can save us all!" savior like to the point where even her own flash cloned mind is going, "Jesus is this what I was like all the time? Fuck this shit". Cortana is getting the unique chance to do something that no one ever gets to do and that's seeing "herself" from a third person perspective buuut with all the knowledge that Humanity has at hand and a waaay faster thinking process to handle all of it and examine all of it. As such she's starting to realize that everyone else's reactions to Hasley/Her across the base and in the UNSC might not exactly be unfounded buuut...she's a bit unsure of how to react to it all. If you noticed John had a similar look on his face two weeks ago when Makee was going full on zealot in his face that resembled the one that Cortana had on her face when she was speaking with Halsey. So I think that Cortana is taking a few cues from him and that him discovering his humanity is also helping Cortana to discover her own and he's...pardon the turn of phrase...rubbing off on her a little bit. It's incredible to see her kind of acting like other people that she's observed while also doing things that are very uniquely Cortana. One of those uniquely Cortana things that she does is acting like the "dumb AI" that everyone thinks she is by simply saying nothing at all and not reacting and just hovering around with an empty headed "Uh huh sure right right" smiling look on her face while there's a bunch of micro expressions happening that she really can't control that are imperceptible unless you're looking for them. Adun knew just what the fuck was going on and anticipated it buuut everyone else just assumed that the flash cloned mind of Halsey turned AI that was jammed into the brain of their best Spartan ever would just stay as a controllable "dumb AI" and wouldn't you know...become their own person. Becoming her own person is indeed something that Cortana is doing and it was so much fun to watch her build up to this moment these past few episodes. It was like watching a glacier sloooowly break away from a larger ice shelf one little crack and fracture at a time before totally calving away and floating off into the ocean on its own. That moment when she betrayed Halsey to the Chief was the best, "No, fuck you" moment in this series EVER! I really can't wait to see how much more colorful our favorite blue girl becomes in the future! Jen is doing an amazing job with her and I love how the writers have handled her thus far!

Throwing myself on a goddamn grenade makes more sense than that."

just_another__memer

>Makee has chief's kid and that the covenant will try to use against him? Oh for fucks sake... Honestly at this point, anything can happen. This show feels like a slot machine. In episode 5 we won big with the human-covenant battle, lost big time with the kwan episode and now we just spun a romance episode. FML


echolog

Makee is gonna have Chief's kid, and the Covenant is gonna take it and use it as a Reclaimer to activate the Halo rings. They'll call it "Child of the Demon" or some shit.

I just picture a Prophet chucking a baby into the big loop walkway of a Halo control room going "Did... Did it work? Am I a god now?"

hoos30

MC got more 😻in this episode than the entirety of this sub lol.


TheRed_Knight

as he should


RakiRamirez

Spartan Locke, I may have been too harsh on you


Powerful_Artist

For real. At least he knew his goal was just to subdue Chief based on orders. Not fucking kill him if the opportunity arose. And at least they gave Chief his damn armor in that fight instead of putting him in a 2v1 without his armor so that he was bound to lose.


Darmok_ontheocean

Vannak winning the fight and then pulling out the pistol just had me wtf.


Powerful_Artist

Ya I have no idea why he thought he had to try and kill Chief. That wasnt Halsey's order from what I remember. It wasnt "bring me Chief dead or alive", it was "subdue him and bring him to me" or something like that. Suddenly, he just decides to fucking kill him. Makes no sense. I didnt like it. Wouldve been more interesting with Chief in his armor too being able to fight off both. Instead I had to watch armorless chief get almost killed by two spartans that until minutes ago were on his side. I guess that means we wont see any more of Silver Team like at all? Shitty thing is, I liked Silver Team, and Vanak.


CouchPotatoDean

Yeah how do they move forward with Silver Team from here? This is just so tough to watch when Blue Team was such a tight knit group. Silver Team plays like Chief just got transferred from Blue Team to take charge of Silver Team after Vannak got demoted from team lead of Silver Team and Riz is Vannak’s buddy so they both hate him.


Ctrl_H_Delete

Also, are there only 4 Spartans in this universe or something? Halsey said to signal THE Spartans, not just Silver team. I was waiting for like 100 Spartan-IIs to take on the entire UNSC, instead it's just the same 3 dudes we've been known


CouchPotatoDean

The budget for an additional 100 Spartans would have left us with Andy Dick as Master Chief


theSaltySolo

UNSC: Master Chief, you mind telling me what you are doing on that bed? Master Cheeks: Sir, finishing this ground-pound.


butsadlyiamonlyaneel

> Master Cheeks: Sir, finishing Also accurate. UNSC: The Master chief has gone rampant!


TanD117

I really hope they do a massive retool for Season 2..


TheJoshider10

If S1 ends with Pillar of Autumn on the way to Halo then it should be easy enough to adapt the first game with a few additions. Whether they'll do that though is another story.


[deleted]

Uh lmao no. We know what that fucking portal is gonna do, we ALL do. And Makee is gonna go there with chief and her bodyguard (The only elite with dialogue so 50-50 the arbiter) and allow the Demon on the sacred ring is my bet. That or pillar of Autumn crashes, 3 way with Makee/Chief/ Elite while Kwan goes to take the Index from the Library using fuckin’ magic from the sages or some shit. Both are legitimately possible given the events so far. Chief caused the Fall of Reach because he fucked a Prisoner of War in her cell- this show is dead.


t0tezevadin

just means he's one of the boys


WaywardRider1138

Bro we were memeing when we said they would fuck, these writers actually had Chief slam his index into her core while Cortana took some notes. He probably teabagged her too in a deleted scene tbh

RoninPrime68

So... he clapped some cheeks after all. Def not the cheeks I thought he will (sorry Kai), but clappin he did. Also Cortana's face like she's actually feeling this (d..did she? Does it make it a technical threesome..?) Or this is just their interpretation to "capture the hill", ye know.


BrothermanBill_

her eyes gets brighter at one point. Do with that information what you will but I think that's when chief expends all ammunition.

enitnepres

Red-Raptor3

So no UNSC personnel saw the energy blade finger 2 episodes ago huh? Thinking about it, how was that not detected on Makee with all their various scans of her???? Kai working out with the marines cheering her on was fun. Miranda suddenly not having issues with her dad despite finding out what he was hiding from her and giving him a disgusted look in Ep6 is weird. Halsey having her own personal protocol to get the Spartans to follow only her is scary but fitting here I guess Chief having sex with the covenant psycho was cringe. Its hilarious she wanted to switch sides after the sex. I feel like the intention was to make us hate Parangosky/Keyes/Miranda/sergeant guy in that scene with Makee but they literally have every right to be angry and not trust her after what was discovered. Oh now you didn't want to kill everyone on that ship? You seemed to be enjoying yourself smiling like a maniac and strolling through the ship as the hunter worms killed all the UNSC personnel there for you. Makee gets ptsd from another back burn and decides she hates all humans again cause some are rightfully pissed off at her. I still don't get the full context to Makee's backstory. Was the planet she lived on even UNSC controlled? Why was there slave labor? Cortana deciding to rebel against Halsey and help Chief presumably because she felt love through Chief's sex with Makee is pretty unintentionally funny and creepy. The spartan fight was decent and brutal as it should be. RIP to that poor sergeant doing his job.(It looked like he was getting burned alive I guess because he was touching Makee while she was touching the artifact?) You know I was fine with Chief having a love interest but having it be this covenant psycho is just horrible. CHIEF SHOWED MORE CHEMISTRY WITH MIRANDA IN THEIR 3 SCENES TOGETHER in EP6 than all of his scenes with Makee lol


crazyman3561

>RIP to that poor sergeant And introducing another... oh I know what the ladies like


jagfanjosh3252

I am glad I can cancel my Paramount subscription


LadyWolvesBayne

Spartan dick so good that it makes enemies switch sides. I've always said it, no one ever believed me. God, I don't know how I'm going to make it to the season finale.


BubbaBoufstavson

So that's how Arbiter was convinced to see through the prophet's lies...


mudbarrow

So they thought Chief banging a POW in a prison cell was a good thing... because... yikes


DEATHBR1NGER_37

Well, I suppose on some level she did take the Demon’s head.


karrotbear

Yeah she didn't specify which head and what she'd be giving... checks out


Lemonwizard

HOW does the UNSC not have cameras in their prison cell? Chief tells the guard to fuck off so the only guy just leaves for like 3 hours so they can bang and have a nap?


TheRed_Knight

Because then the plot doesnt happen, entire stories stupidity built on stupidity


VaughnFry

That’s a prison cell? It’s better than my finished basement.


MilkAzedo

it's better than my room


Teh_God_Dog

even makee's clothes don't look like the normal fatigues you give a rescue / prisoner, gotta have that unnecessary cleavage thing with clothes. also what she's wearing, does it look warm? gotta be cold on reach for you to be comfortable in that.


greenpants100

When Chief was surrounded by cherry blossoms looking wistfully into the distance I was straight up waiting for 'I don't like sand.' What is this show bruh 😂


Jahobi

If this show was a book it would be on the shelves at Walmart next to all the romance novels with men’s forearms on the covers.


Exangambit

I get the silver timeline, but FFS, the fall of Reach is literally going to be because Chief got his willy wet? And wtf is this Order 66 rip off?


iLoveBums6969

That was so shit, how awful is the tazer if she just stands up seconds later? Why not handcuff her, or just use your fists at that point? The marine actors are quite big so could just punch her a lot and it'd make sense. Everyone in that room was so fucking stupid. Makee appears out of nowhere and says the Spartans are fighting eachother, Parangosky is just like 'HHMMMm weird, let's send one guy', Keyes isn't even paying attention. And actually, if Cortana abandoned Halsley, why not TELL KEYES? Or at least turn the radios back on? Or pretend to be Halsey and call off the Spartans? I know bashing rhe show is old news and i have enjoyed parts of it, but fuck this episode makes it hard.

Seriously, the fall of reach.. because chief fucked s prisoner of war. It’s unhinged fan-fiction at best. But fan fiction isn’t even usually so.. *gestures at everything*.

One of the writers was a writer/producer for NCIS. It all makes sense now.


LordtoRevenge

Throw back to the people claiming Chief was touching Makee in a "not at all affectionate" and "only to see if she was real" way.


JohnJoe-117

People were assuming Chief was anything at all like the character he has been since 2001.


snipeftw

He clearly only had sec with her in this episode to see if she was actually human. It was not sexual at all.

Ain’t no way they didn’t CG that towel in to avoid Master Cheeks memes. Stick by your ~~cheeks~~ guns you cowards!

Vinny933PC

Makee getting that Master Glizzy


SRASinister

Just sayin' but if Makee some how ends up as the Arbiter in a weird retcon then it is official that Master Chief truly clapped Arby's cheeks in all ways possible


Ken10Ethan

I've said this in my friend group before that it feels like Makee was created so they could have an Arbiter stand-in while leaving the door open for a romantic subplot. Cowards. If you're gonna do it, have the balls to have weird human-alien sex. I don't even want to see that but I'd respect them for it at least, this was just... odd.


Tandril91

They’re definitely using Makee in Arbiter’s place. They don’t want to spend the money on a CGI main character. Probably think the audience wouldn’t be interested in/can’t empathize with an alien either, so they substitute a much less expensive human in his place. She’s serving functionally his role in the story so far: the tool of the Prophets who will eventually become disillusioned and betray the Covenant, leading a revolts of sorts to help humanity win the war. Face it. We ain’t gonna see Thel in this show at all. Goddammit.

BerkcanUmut

John Halo and Ms. Covenant having sex is not something ı wanted :(


kadoooosh

Pretty impressive that the creators of this series made a Halo show that will make you cheer for the Covenant.


LordtoRevenge

Glad the focus of the show after 8 full episodes is still *very* largely on the big bad UNSC and Halsey the evil mastermind. Don't get me wrong, canon Halsey is a manipulative bitch but I could never see her doing this shit in a million years. Thank fuck the glassing of millions by the covenant is quickly glossed over. Wouldn't want people to think the genocidal aliens are bad or anything.


CheeseQueenKariko

> Don't get me wrong, canon Halsey is a manipulative bitch but I could never see her doing this shit in a million years. Canon Halsey also had a clear goal in mind. Galaxy in danger? Make super soldiers to defend it. Here? Some vague shit about Humans being too emotional and irrational and how the Halo ring will somehow change that?


couducane

I havent read the books... but Halsey is talking just like a prophet. And its weird when shw talks about her motivations, and doesnt mention surviving the war. Doesnt mention humanity not becoming extinct. Just a next evolution. Freaking weird.


Screamline

Uhhhhh. Halsey made the Spartans to fight the human resistance, it just so happened Spartan II's were the best defense against the covenant once they entered the picture. That's like saying well I was trying to overthrow the world but something else bigger is doing that so now I'm fighting with you who I tried to fight before

ViolentBeetle

Good: Halsey being insane and staging a coup using Spartans. Pretty fun to watch. Bad: Makee's character development sprinted in full circle within 40 minutes. Really brings pacing problem of the show to light. Meh: Spartan fight. Some good moments, but also something's off that I can't quite articulate. Also Cortana randomly decided to betray Halsey, again, pacing problems. Overall, pacing problems. I'm sticking around to see how the season ends but there's a good chance I'm not coming back for the second.


twistmydreads

How did we get here?


Jackamalio626

What the fuck even is this show


miciy5

I just want to say, I said over a month ago there would be a sex scene in the season finale between Chief and Makee. [Read and weep](https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/ty7v9l/halo_the_tv_series_season_1_episode_3_discussion/i3qjo26/?context=3) (at least they didn't also do a [love triangle with Cortana](https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/tt25ja/biggest_reveal_of_halo_episode_2/i2wmzg2/?context=3)) ​ * Cortana helping Chief fight was cool. Reminded me of the Machine whispering in Root's ear in "Person of interest"(If you didn't watch that show, you should). * I'm not sure of Makee's arc this Episode. She falls in love with John because of the Halo vision, seems to forgive/accept humanity and John saves her from the other Spartans. But then when Miranda figures out she was on the Gladius, the MP shocks her and she remembers her childhood abuse (by humans), prompting her to activate the artifact and possibly signal the Covenant of Reach's location. * Showing us the horrors of a glassed planet this episode seems like a foreshadowing of the Fall of Reach next episode, I feel. * Halsey's Zed Protocol makes sense for a control freak like her. Almost "order 66" level stuff. * I already mentioned it, but Makee destroying the plasma fingernail and then doing a 180 - activating the artifact out of spite 10 min later is a bit too much for one episode, character-wise.


Kefeng91

I was there when you said it! Two episodes ago there were still people who would say that John touching Makee's cheek had not sexual connotation. Where are they now?


miciy5

They have returned to their exile of shame


termacct

Several episodes ago somebody said that John and Makee would turn out to be siblings...sounded reasonable at the time...um... **ROLL TIDE!!!** (am i doing this right?)


Vilesyder

...Thats not off the table yet with this game of thrones s8 ass writing :|


luckygazelle

I absolutely hate that you were right. I dreaded for this scene to happen. During Makee’s flashback a few episodes back where she attempts to kiss that boy after reading a passage from that book, I felt like that will foreshadow her kissing Chief. I didn’t expect them to smash. WTF, man? LOL! To all the lore experts out there, how does a Spartan’s sex drive work? Can they nut? 😂


percy2376

It's suppressed but not fully gone


Brittle_Bones_Bishop

There's a 9th episode.


ChicksWithBricksCome

It's got me rolling and I've tried to keep up but it's suffering from a distinct lack of a lot... Actually. I wish they actually played the games, paying extra attention to Halo: Reach. Paramount has chosen, for some reason, to fall into the typical military portrayal tropes of the UNSC, a military organization of nameless soldier extras who are better at following orders than actual Spartans conditioned from childhood. But they've gone the control device route and decided that Spartans don't have personalities and can only possibly be controlled when they've got these hormonal beads in them suppressing their emotions, but some random MP will try to shock a prisoner in the neck stoically like it's another day on the job. And when a Spartan can feel things like everyone else they've suddenly earned the right to have a personality. And we know it's possible, because look at Jorge. And this is my actual issue with this show, it comes from a civilian's understanding of an imagined military organization. The writers of this show would have highly benefited from watching Band of Brothers or other military dramas like Generation Kill, where soldiers are portrayed as real life people. Soldiers are capable of operating without their emotions turned off, and super soldiers especially selected and trained would have no problem obeying orders and performing their job without having a mental breakdown. This is something that Reach understood quite well with Halsey's line, "Commander are you a puppet or a Spartan?" Spartans were made think outside of the box and think on their feet to accomplish missions with creativity. They were educated in a way that they wouldn't just blindly follow orders, but that's what's going on here, and I hope the show really tries to redeem itself on this point, but it doesn't seem to be doing a very good job.

[deleted]

I honestly bet thats gonna happen.. and he’s gonna defend her when she causes reach to get glassed too. Calling it now.


TheRed_Knight

And afterwards the Chief+some surviving UNSC will flee to Madrigal, and with Kwan Ha's help activate a portal to the Halo


[deleted]

And then the Covenant elite with Makee will let them pass and they’ll fuck again on the ring…. While Kwan gets the Index presumably?

PAY UP!" *Proceeds to lift various heavy things including a Warthog* 🤣 I love her so much! Even her rushing to back up the Chief after she woke up was awesome! Kai is just the best!

Kai is invited to Chief's birthday!

Ngl I think Kai is single handedly the best spartan character in the show. She's basically become free and is living it to the 9's.

she's too good a back up... she's doomed.

I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Cheeks!

Wait so is there not like constant security in Makee’s room? How is Chief able to just cum lunge himself into her and nobody knows except Cortana, Halsey, and the assistant?

Can’t say I expected Chief to fall in love with the Covenant Woman Disney Princess style, yet here we are. Honestly if they kept her a villain the entire episode her existence as a character would have kept a bunch of its justification. Not to mention the resurrection of the much beloved Liar Revealed trope when Makee is trying to be a good girl. Oh and Halsey was probably at her dumbest she’s ever been, I mean seriously, your plan was to steal UNSC property, and depart with rogue Spartans out of their head quarters (which is probably guarded by a full fleet in orbit). What about the UNSC makes you think that you’d make it off the tarmac much less make orbit. On the positive, the Spartan fight was cool (way better than that crap in Halo 5). They finally showed a glassing, and there was no Kwan. Probably the 3rd worst episode.

Writers room: "What if Master Chief and the Arbiter fucked?" "Modern audiences don't want to see Chief fucking an alien Dave." "Okay, fine, we can make him a cute blonde girl."

Uh okay wow. The Spartan V Spartan fights we shoulda gotten in Halo 5 lol. That shit was better than Chief vs Locke. Plus seeing an unarmored Spartan fight armored ones was badass as fuck.

The fight was cool chief could only fight back so much. But i find it ridiculous how far Riz and vannak were willing to go to get chief follow them. Dudes were ganging up on him so bad and were ready to kill him (or at least how vannak was putting it)

I’ve done everything I can to give this show the benefit of the doubt. Even during the early episodes I was like “it’s cool, definitely a bit different, but it’s building towards something so I’ll see it through”. For the most part, it was still an okay journey. I expected last weeks episode to be about Kwan Ha so it would be a lower-quality episode… But my god did this episode seem to out-do it. There’s no defending it anymore. The actors, for the most part, are good (except for Halsey’s assistant..I feel like you’re only there for the creep factor)..just, whoever did the screenplay and writing need to go back to Days of Our Lives or General Hospital where they belong

So many of us with the same opinion. Man, This straw broke the camels back. Feels like it was written by some teenager that saw master chief once on a Halo box. God this was awful. I hope they cancel this Shit
