Reviews Halo The Fall of Reach in a T-Shirt
Halo gave us the Fall of Reach with Master Chief out of the suit, then paused the whole show for character development. One of these two episodes earns it more than the other.

7/10 Reviews Halo Sanctuary and Sword Land Like a Spartan's Punch
The Halo season 2 premiere settles the Cortana question in its first scene, brings the action down to earth, and hands Master Chief a new problem named James Ackerson. A solid 7 out of 10.

Reviews Halo Master Chief Lets the Countdown Hit Zero
Solace isn't as action-packed as last week, and it doesn't need to be. John locks Halsey in a decontamination chamber to find out what Cortana can really do to him, Halsey loses the Spartan program, and the hour ends on the ring.

Reviews Halo Emergence Hands John a Partner Built From a Flash Clone

9/10 Reviews Halo Unbound Lays the Groundwork, and Chief Should've Kept the Helmet On
Halo Season 1 Episode 2 goes light on action and heavy on story: a Spartan who ran, a Covenant that needs humans, and Halsey putting Cortana on the table. The helmet is the one complaint.

7/10 Reviews Halo A Good Opening, and a Helmet That Came Off Too Soon
I've never played the games, so I'm taking the Halo premiere clean, as a sci-fi series and nothing else. The action is right, the in-helmet shot is right, the compositing isn't, and Master Chief's face shows up about three episodes early.
