Episode 3 halo release date11/23/2023 seeing cortana be kind to master chief while knowing it's all a ploy by halsey to manipulate him is sort of hard to watch. i really like the dynamic of them annoying each other, made for some pretty funny scenes. seeing halsey interact with her clone was amazing, really puts into perspective how fucked up she's willing to be for science.Ĭortana and master chief's interactions were great too. i wanted him to pet the dog so bad and he just walked past it ):īut i did like this episode a lot, maybe my favorite so far. My biggest disappointment with this episode was that master chief didn't pet the dog. If she left the artifact back on Reach, she did it for a reason. Thinking that Halsey is unaware or had nothing to do with it is foolish at this point. She's curious about the artifact, cautious of it, and most important: simultaneously navigating her way through a minefield of multitude of people's motivations.Īt the end of the episode they make a note that Miranda Keyes can now go and investigate the artifact after a mysterious computer outage. Halsey's thoughts on this matter seem to be complex on multiple levels. This is another reason for the Cortana integration (to keep an eye on an unpredictable Chief), and why she doesn't want Cortana to affect Chief's consciousness: she can't risk Cortana being compromised as well. In fact, he only started acting strangely after encountering it and has expressed as such to her. What's only briefly mentioned is the very real possibility that the artifact is also influencing Chief. She doesn't say, "No you can't just take control of another person that would be wrong!" or "Yes! Stop him he's out of control" She says, "No, because that may interfere and have unknown side effects." This is an extremely good point as she's observed his conscious state has a direct effect on the object. When Cortana tries to reel in Master Chief and Halsey stops her the reasons she gives are entirely based in logic. Her portrayal has been fantastic, and there's a lot of nuance to her character that could be missed. Given this new information that you've presented me with, I can't help but revise my opinion of her to that of seeing her as precisely the kind of person I would want in my corner during a prolonged conflict that would cut through all the red tape bullshit and get done want needed to get done as fast as humanely possible while everyone else was taking their fucking time and not taking the necessary risks that needed to be taken in order to keep Humanity alive. So it's nice to see that what she's putting out is more or less in line with what the established lore is. Given that this is my first real exposure to her in a very long time and that I don't exactly have the breadth of knowledge that other more long time Halo fans have of her character, this was very refreshing to read and quite insightful! Thank you for properly informing me! I've been love/hating her in every episode because of Natascha McElhone's portrayal of her and I'm personally a huuuge fan of hers.
