Halo Season 2

The second season of Halo starts off well, but it still needs improvement

by Julian Cannon February 5, 2024
written by Julian Cannon

In its first season, Halo from Paramount+ got off to a rocky start. The show’s producers went out of their way to change everything that made Halo popular into a sci-fi thriller that happens to have the Halo IP.

During the second season of Halo, certain issues had been rectified that had previously affected its appearance on screen. Halo’s second season clearly addresses and improves on the shortcomings observed in its first season, as we have had the opportunity to review it.

After a startling incident on a remote planet, Master Chief John-117 and his Spartans are convinced that a pivotal shift is imminent in the ongoing war as the Covenant threatens humanity’s most vital bastion. In spite of skepticism from others, he risks all to discover evidence that the Covenant is planning to attack humanity’s most vital bastion. In search of the Halo, which holds the key to humanity’s survival or its ultimate demise, John embarks on a perilous quest.

With Pablo Schreiber’s portrayal of Master Chief in season 2, he explores his complex mental state and PTSD struggles in a captivating manner. As Master Chief struggles to cope with his past trauma and the loss of Makee, the show’s first and fourth episodes capture his emotional depth. Despite Master Chief’s stoic exterior, Schreiber’s portrayal reveals the inner turmoil and vulnerability underneath it.

His nuanced acting captivates audiences from the very beginning, setting the tone for a gripping exploration of Master Chief’s character arc throughout the season.

This season of Halo features standout performances by Yerin Ha, demonstrating her talent and leaving viewers with lasting memories. As a result, the narrative becomes more complex, with moments that captivate audiences and elevate the viewing experience without revealing any spoilers.

Jen Taylor’s portrayal of Cortana in Halo’s second season adds a multifaceted dimension to its narrative. Cortana is more than a technological aide; her interactions with Master Chief resemble therapy sessions more this time around.. Cortana delves into Master Chief’s psyche and helps him navigate traumatic experiences through their conversations.

This season of Halo has elements in common with Halo Reach, as well as references to Halo’s origins. Adapting and remixing several storylines from these iconic games gave the series depth and familiarity. However, what they do with that knowledge and source material is nothing more of fan service instead of advancing the plot and narrative forward.

It would have been nice if everyone on this show didn’t try to take down the enemies with assault rifles. I know that Halo-accurate guns might not look good, but going up against the powerful enemies with the signature Halo sword should have been obvious.

The acting performances, pacing, and lengthy episode duration have been subjects of scrutiny, with some feeling that these elements detract from the overall viewing experience. Despite these criticisms, Halo’s commitment to honoring its video game roots while forging its own path in the realm of television remains evident, offering fans a nostalgic yet fresh take on the beloved franchise.

Cosplayer Highlights from NY Comic Con

by Ethan Singh October 20, 2021
written by Ethan Singh

Each year Comic Con attracts the best cosplayers around and despite the impact of a waning pandemic, this year absolutely did not disappoint. 

This year was my first Comic Con experience ever and I got to experience in my hometown of New York. As a kid I always wanted to witness the magic of Comic Con in person but over the years, I just hadn’t had the chance. One thing I had learned in recent years is that the cosplayers here at pretty much the best you’ll ever see and when I finally got to the Javits center and witnessed it all in person, I was just stuck in a state of awe for about a half hour. Seeing a lot of my favorite comic book and video characters be brought rather realistically to life was incredible. Here are some of my favorite shots of the cosplayers from over the weekend.
