The review contains spoilers for Halo season 2, episode 5.
Aleria is an episode teeming with loss.
The planet is no more.
Lethal weapon
Speaking of Chief, hes taking Vannaks death and Rizs plight badly.Reallybadly.
I will be your weapon now, he says at Vannaks burial.
Fans wanted Master Chief, the video game icon.
It looks like theyre going to get him just not in the way they expected.
Instead, its a delicious flipping of the script that allows us to see both sides of John.
Aleria is not all perfect, though.
For one thing, one of my fears wasnt exactly unfounded: the episode is too long.
Still, Halo season 2 now has more good episodes than bad ones.
Halo season 2 is streaming on Paramount Plus, with new episodes available weekly.
For what else is on the way, check out all of theupcoming video game adaptationsto look forward to.
