Mindless plot and superb action sequences. Animation was far better than I expected.
Outstanding animation let down by the most generic of plot lines. A replaced Wesker and 5 minutes spent on a boring revenge story couldn't even be saved by fantastic battle sequences. A waste of potential.
LET ME PREFACE THIS WITH, THIS EPISODE SUCKS EQUALLY IF NOT MORE THAN ALL EPISODES BEFORE IT. GO FUCK YOURSELF HOLLYWOOD.
So fun watching a show that is meant to be about master chief with so little time actually focused on master chief? I guess Pablo charges too much per hour?
Apparently there is a crash course to become a spartan now and they don’t need you from childhood anymore. Jesus this show is trash. Pick a fucking lane.
Kwans story is so trash. Kill that bitch off already. If I ever see this chick in any other preview to any other show, I know already to stay fucking clear of it. Terrible actress. Have to cater to all people these days tho so I get it……
They need to fire the evil chicks hair stylist. I didn’t think it was possible to make her more unattractive but damn it if they were successful at it.
It’s like the producers of last season were like, let’s fuck with them and cut everything cool about season 1 and some how make season 2 way worse than anyone would have expected.
Are we going to ever get a FULL FUCKING EPISODE where master chief is wearing his armor the entire fucking thing? We all so care about his character without the suit, said no one fucking ever!
MASTER CHIEF MAKES NO COMMENT ON THE FACT THAT CORTANA LOOKS NOTHING LIKE SHE DID THE LAST TIME HE SAW HER. DUMB. DO THE PRODUCERS THINK WE ARE RETARDED OR
SOMETHING!?
This show sucks ass, and I’ve watch shit Disney has trashed that I consider better than this PoS.
I give you Kai, Master Clit
A full season of filler episodes
At this point I'm mostly watching to see just how frustratingly dumb this could possibly get.
where is the fucking master chief armor !?
The writing for this show is worse than what you find on those daytime soap opera shows. Dunno what changed from first season to this season. First season was decent. It's like the writers never played the game....
SO FUN WATCHING THE SPARTANS WITHOUT THEIR SUITS ON...... SAID NO ONE. So what... no reg armor fits the Spartans? lol Everyone has some kind of armor on in this episode except the spartans who are only armed with a gun. Guess its spartan gear or nothing... lol. The director/producers/writers for this show, wtf man...
Soren pick a fucking lane when it comes to Dr Halsey. He hates her one episodes, loves her the next. Fucking dumb.
HEY lets add another dumb ass side character to the show. Let me introduce STG Perez and her terrible acting. All this chick does is panic and overact. "ma'am do you understand? ma'am do you understand? ma'am do you understand? ma'am do you understand? ma'am do you understand? ma'am do you understand? UGH!
WHO GIVES A BLIND MAN A GUN?????????????????
LOVE HOW NO ONE ADDRESSES CORTANA'S NEW LOOK!?!??! WTF man, they didn't even bring it up. Was confusing at first this season, like, did I miss something. This show is a complete shit show.
If you love the game, don't watch this shit. It's a complete let down.
ALL ALONG ALL I REALLY WANT TO SEE IS MASTER CHIEFS STORY WITH HIS SUIT ON OF COURSE. Shame on you Hollywood! Shame!
I OFFICIALLY HATE THIS SHOW. THIS SHOW ENDS HERE FOR ME. Won't be watching the next episode. (Actually I will be watching the next episode in spite of @Vortilion. Stay tuned next week for my next hardcore review of Halo Season 2 Episode 5.) People seem to love my comments or hate them, if you hate them, why comment, move on. You are being a hypocrite by sending me YOUR hateful comments. The first amendment gives me the right to state my hateful opinion of the writing and acting of this show. Thank you. Trust me when I say I don't care about your opinion if you don't agree.
THIS SHOW IS STARTING TO SUCK REALLLLLLY QUICK! Remove Kwan's side story and every other side story and focus on master chief's story. People watch halo to watch master chief, not all these dumb ass side stories.
Kwan: Take the helmet off, they'll notice you. Kid takes helmet off and holds it. There is no way they can see the helmet when he is holding it....... dumb.
I do not like the "new" cortana. Stop fixing shit that ain't broke.
Unimpressed with the "build up" to the covenant attack. THIS ALL SEEMS SO DAM CHEESY!
MASTER CHIEF SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN HIS HELMET OFF!
Dam Liberal Hollywood has to make every white role an ethnic one. So old!
they don't have flashlights in Halo ?
This season has a very different tone to it and I can't say I like it. I have no idea where this is going. But instead of being excited I'm bored. Now, I'm sure there is a bigger picture being revealed I just don't see yet. Remains to be seen if I like everything comes together. And why does Cortana look different ?
The one constant to season one: Kwan is still an uterly uninteresting character.
Basically like the others. How many hidden ancestral robot civilizations can there be on Earth ?
Some action, but I've never found any of the Transformers fights that great.
The make a dying robot into a human armor move is so stupid... If the actual living robot get defeated, what could a random human do ? Knowing that 1) he does not have any fighting capabilities, let alone against giant space robots, 2) he has no training on being inside a robot armor, doesn't know what it can do or how to operate it.
Got a refund and left 5 mins in after hearing "don’t forget to laugh at all their jokes. white people love that shit". I don't support racial remarks of any kind.
Probably the worse so far, someone was really trying hard to check the diversity box for no reason. The dialogue between humans is bad. Not only is Elena an insufferable bitch, she's also ugly as hell.
Gave it 32 mins. Pretty damn bad. Music sucks too. Typical BS. Poor acting, slow, overall boring snoozefest. I figured. Doesn't help not tied into previous films and none of the main previous star actors.
And the Porsche driving slower than some piece of crap Ford cop car from the 90s, give me a break.
Typical, trying to be funny and instead just lame.
Boring, dumb, woke. If we need to make everything diverse to meet bipoc quotas, let's at least use actors from the thousands of amazing, diverse actors out there. Instead we keep getting our lead movies headlined by b-grade background supporting actors and it just makes for bad entertainment over and over again.
The old days of chemistry of any sort also seem to be gone, with just terrible script writing where you have these white likely Jewish script writers (which make up most of the writers in major Hollywood productions by the numbers alone) trying to write "urban" roles and failing hard.
And to address the trolls, no woke doesn't have anything to do with the color of skin, lgbt, social issues or hating anyone. It has to do with forcing concepts in some cases including the above, at the expense of the quality of the production, which doesn't need to happen if you hire good actors and good writers. We keep getting misses usually on both.
I can't believe it... What happened to that 200 million budget, really? Is there such inflation in the USA, or did someone just launder money heavily?
Mockery of the movie's name. It's clear that almost everyone watches the Transformers series for the effects, and while the effects were exceptionally impressive in the first 2, even 3 movies, the situation in this latest one is pathetic. Such cheap animations, lack of any details on the robots themselves, and the particles were also of such poor and low quality. The movie is simply a total waste, it left me speechless. And a rate of 3 is already too much for this. I won't even comment on the choice of the cast, because if I do, they'll delete my comment...
I wanted Transformers. Instead I got Dumb and Dumber with guest appearances by Transformers.
I was bored the whole time. The story is stupid, most of the movie is filler, and they even copied everything they could from the Avengers. They even got an Iron Man.
Transformers, "Wakanda Forever" edition! :joy:
Seriously. Just stop with the virtue signalling! :rolling_eyes:
The producers "lets bring a diversity cast this time maybe we can bring a new audience"
The audience" nah it's a crappy movie , no one asked for it to be made, maybe we will stream it if there's nothing else to see"
One of the worst transformers in the franchise. The acting is awful. The story is boring.
How did Vaselov avoid getting a medical upon arriving in the SGC? His arm was covered in lesions by the time he first arrived. They don't even look at him twice until he passes out in front of Daniel.
Who thought that a secure lockdown could be overridden by one person? Absolutely insipid. Ruined a perfectly good episode. And to make this even worse, they trust a commanding officer that was out of contact long enough to be compromised. I don't think so. Then to continue piling crap onto this episode, Carter can override a deadlock self-destruct? Umm... that is the entire point of having physical keys. There is 100% absolutely no other way to enable or disable the self-destruct. Fucking retarded...
That scene still give me goosebumps
An amazing episode! This is why I watch shows like this. We finally get some payoff for several seasons of buildup and it is worth it. This episode definitely checked all the right boxes.
Finally that fucker Kinsley got smacked down. Please let him not ruin any more episodes.
Pete's out there making a bad name for men everywhere. It's none of your business, bud.
I DO NOT LIKE SAM'S BOYFRIEND HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I AM BIG MAD. The way he treats her to guilt her to give him Stargate info is awful and I hate it. Their relationship is red flags the size of Texas
I enjoy checking in on the personal lives of the SG-1 members. Romances don't play a huge part in the show so it's nice to see that Sam has found something that may finally work. It's also good to get Sarah/Osiris back at long last (with Michael Shanks gone last year, it was certainly going to have less impact if she had shown up in the storylines then). Plus, getting back to this "lost city" mystery is very welcome because it seemed to have been more or less forgotten about. There's lots more to come there, of course.
Sam's new boyfriend, Pete, is very problematic though. He seems a nice enough guy even though he doesn't quite seem like a good match for her personality-wise, but he oversteps massively here. He inserts himself into Sam's personal affairs without her knowledge or permission, then follows her secretly (ugh) and she accepts it all without so much as reprimanding him or even acknowledging what he did.
It's also a little strange that a big fight with an alien, full of energy blasts and explosions, happens on a residential street and nobody in the houses seems to notice or care.
Did SG-1 need to show some Jaffa women? Yes, definitely. The fact that we only ever see Jaffa men fighting for their respective system lords needed to be addressed somehow, and this story did cover it as far as Moloc is concerned.
However, I was deeply disappointed in the wardrobe choices made for this episode. Just like in every video game or action movie featuring women in fighting roles, the Hak'tyl warriors wore unrealistically skimpy outfits that would provide no real protection in battle. These costumes were no better than what Hathor wore* a few seasons ago—and in that case, "Hathor never expects to find herself in active combat" was a flimsy but valid excuse. Ishta and the others here go off to raid other Jaffa parties for symbiotes with no armor at all. It's no wonder they lose so many good warriors in trying to procure symbiotes for the children among them.
We also have to acknowledge that Teal'c's romance with Ishta makes no sense. Had Christopher Judge not written the script, I very much doubt that idea ever would have come up. Though I have no evidence to prove that it was indeed his idea, the lack of any co-writer credits for this script is about as damning as possible. To think that Jolene Blalock took a break from T'Pol's Bermanization on Star Trek: Enterprise to film this, where her character was arguably treated even worse… Sigh.
Honestly, I'm out of energy now to also complain about the huge gaping plot hole: there were at least three symbiotes available at the SGC for reimplantation into Neith, since their original Jaffa hosts had given them up in favor of Tretonin treatments.
In writing this down, I talked myself into revising my rating from 6/10 to 5/10. Whoops.
* — And at least Hathor's skimpy costume covered where her symbiote pouch should be; "Birthright" overlooked that detail a few times.
