Ok.
I enjoyed this episode. There’s a lot going on here that I think the writers have ideologically embedded into the show.
At the end of the episode the statement “There are two children that will never be born, and a future that will” sums up the whole episode - as well as putting the finger squarely on and an ideology that’s extremely invasive in the circles of our “Hollywood elite” and through it a rift in society has formed and is growing wider.
The ideology and idea is, our earths finite resources are being stretched too much to support the number of people we have. Since high population numbers require high energy usage, that energy must come from somewhere and since much of the energy being used comes from fossil fuels. Our earth is being put at risk, due to the belief in the existential threat of climate change. The idea then is, anything justifies a lowering of the earths population to reduce energy usage. (Pandemics, wars, abortions, etc).
It is an ideological view that’s causing a conflict. This show is subtly trying to slip that concept into the minds of the population so it becomes an acceptable concept.
Great show, good writing, very enjoyable. It’s just be aware that what your watching is pushing a message you’ve either already accepted and ingrained into your beliefs, or it’s trying to.
Slow episode.
It was basically more backstory, and setup. A few introductions to characters and general maneuvering of rolls to set the stage. There wasn't really anything that stood out and wow'ed me in this episode. Overall this episode was important because of its setting of the stage. I enjoyed watching it.
I think the whole series has a lot of potential. From what I can tell its my kind of star trek. I'd like to see more tech and discovery and adventure. As exploration and 'the unknown' are aspects of star trek that make it star trek.
Anyways, Good episode. No real action, just a lot of talking and exploration of characters.
The setting up of the "good" and "bad" guys. - So for this alone - watch the episode so you know what's going on in the future.
Enjoy :)
Good first episode.
Be interesting to see where this show goes.
I think the white vs black aspect of the show. Is going to inflame an already tense situation in the world. While its these kinds of themes that make a show good, it also serves to stir up peoples anger.
I think the show has a LOT of potential.
The world building and tech is what interests me. The obvious political bias of the writers just pissed me off.
Show is Getting worse.
Inserting propaganda.
The moment the uttered the words “right wing”, I lost respect for the show.
Ok!
Shaping up to be a really good series.
I'm not looking to nitpick - Not really looking for historical inaccuracies.
I predict there will be two types of opinions on this show. Those who enjoy it for what it is, and those who will find every little detail wrong and nitpick. I strive to be the first, and enjoy it for the entertainment that it is.
All I could think was, "God I'm itchy", "Don't Scratch, Don't Scratch"... "How can he not pick at that"
Tho, this whole "pollution" push in Dr. Who is frankly woke nonsense & pandering to a crowd of extremists. Keep your nonsense out of our shows. I can stomach one or two such episodes. Fine. You've made your point, you've preached your message. But if the whole show becomes an ode to wokeness I'm out, and frankly the ratings are going to plummet and the show is going to tank. People watch these shows to escape the real world, not to be lectured at. If you don't take these words to heart your going to destroy Dr. Who.
Cute!
Highly enjoyed it.
A bit cliché at times. Much of the exposition seemed a bit clunky and forced at times. But it kinda fits with the bright colours and characters.
The wardrobes and sets are “on point”, and just beautiful.
Pleasantly surprised, it’s getting better.
Good action, and consequential story progression,
Still the lighting sucks.
Ah yes. - HALO! Thank you!
Keep telling a HALO story, focus on it being HALO. Even if it's an adaptation of the original story line, that's fine. Just keep it HALO, and please don't insert all the little social nonsense bits n pieces and references that we are all fighting about today. I appreciate a story, that is pure entertainment - not a preaching brow beating session.
Right now, HALO tells an entertaining story - keep it that way please.
Good job writers & actors!
This is one show you definitely want to add to your list of shows to watch.
As for the show content so far, it seems like there's a bit of a slow start to this season. I expect there's a buildup to something bigger, but I'm willing to sit back and just enjoy the ride. Not quite what I was expecting after the season 1 finally. But I'm willing to give it a shot.
I'm definitely missing the SPOILER: removal of Cortana from master chief. I hope he is able to get her back. It just feels kinda like a sitcom with him fighting back against his annoying boss.
Let's just sit back, give it a chance and see where the story goes.
Bah.
The “obligatory ode to climate change fear mongering” that pretty much all shows make an episode about.
Wish Dr Who was immune to this but unfortunately it’s not. Watched the whole series again, and the last dr IMO is meh, hopefully it gets better next season but I doubt it considering the trajectory it’s going.
“Global warming” death murder revenge fetish by the writers.
A low point for “The Simpsons”, they couldn’t even use the likeness of their beloved characters.
A Very Weak Episode, just dumb.
This show.
If it can keep up this quality and syndicate out to as many networks as possible.
Will be added to peoples short list of “good tv” in the last 25 years.
It’s takes a tiny fraction of the universe of Halo, and builds interesting and engaging stories that one actually looks forward to watching.
Not a lot of tv in the last couple years has been able to come close to that high bar. This one does.
I’d rank it up there with some of the greats like Firefly, StarGate, Dr Who, StarTrek (not discovery), and The Expanse.
For me to become excited about tv shows these days, a high bar has to be met. So far Halo, has not only met the bar, but passed it.
Yes!
Very very well done.
A great start to what appears to be an amazing show, lots of action, lots of great acting, really cool tech, the lore of the whole HALO universe to play with.
I was worrying that this show would be chocked full of “wokisms” like pretty much everything new these days is. Didn’t spot anything blazingly obviously. Just great actors doing great tv. Keep this up and you’ll have a massively popular show.
Oh. The network making it, would be wise to let other services stream it. If it only streams on one platform they’re going to be a victim of obscurity.
I suggest they stream it on their platform first after production. Then after a week or so, let other services stream it.
Watch the show. It’s very well done, im already seeing visions of 10 seasons.
This show is starting to go down the "woke" path. It's becoming unwatchable. Soon; I suspect, it'll be added to my "blacklist".
Once again; the yahoo writers and directors are taking potshots at social issues & mischaracterizing half the country.
Great until around 21:00 min; when the bs started. Immediately this dropped the episode from enjoyable, to this crap isn't worth watching anymore.
This episode plays heavily on the Immigration debate currently raging in the US.
It plays almost as an election ADD for the Democrats.
It uses emotion & personal connection to characters to manipulate sympathies for illegal immigrants.
I really love this show, however It's quickly becoming not worth watching due to these annoying partisan issues.
If it keeps up, its getting taken off of my "to watch weekly" list.
Very Very Love able Characters and Cast. Good introduction.
It's a superhero show, with characters we can actually relate to.
I would Highly recommend it & as more people watch, it's going to become a hit.
Song and Dance Number. "You've Got to be Cruel to Be Kind" by a pig. Loved it.
Tucker Carlson Jokes. - ok.
This whole episode, while funny - I totally laughed.
Just goes to show, how much certain networks absolutely hate fox.
Anyways, try to enjoy the episode.
All Right! Now this is starting to feel like I'm watching a Star Trek.
Little bit of action finally starts happening.
The previous 4 episodes were basically all back story and setup. Now things are finally starting to happen.
Love the kick ass Number 5, she always makes the show much better.
If the show can keep up this momentum its going to have a good run.
Similarly thoughts when I watched it. The whole series just falls flat on its face.
Its very disappointing that shows I enjoy stoop to throwing political jabs at fox. Funny yes - I actually laughed. But it shows the bias of the writers. Leave politics out of it, stick to writing a good story. We don't care to be lectured on your political beliefs - nor your hatred of fox news. I am watching this show to escape the politics of everyday life. So because of that it automatically gets a lower rating from me.
Other than that. I enjoyed the episode.
Oh, The Rhyming... Seriously... The Rhyming!
Such a great episode!
Love the surprise appearance of an old face. Hope to see more of jack in the future.
Interesting twist. - The potential for some new cool lore.
Bit of criticism of the season, not the individual episode.
Something I've noticed in this season. Each episode is trying to cram a lot of information into a short run time. There's not 'time' ironically to explore and 'have fun' because there's not enough episodes in the season. It's just all too condensed. In my opinion it needs to be spread out, make more episodes, play with the characters a bit. - The whole cast of this doctor seems to be 'rammed down our throat' if you understand what I mean. We are just supposed to like them all, and I do. But there's no reason why. There's something off, and I just can't put my finger on it apart from the condensed episodes. If you understands what I mean and can shed some further insight into 'what feels off' about this whole season. Let me know. - I'm scratching my head trying to figure it out.
Woah! Expectations Exceed!
I came into this, with very low expectations. The previous star-treks are a tough act to follow. Yet, this first episode surprised me. It set the stage for some great storytelling. Opening up a whole new chapter in star trek's already diverse universe.
This episode was rightly titled Remembrance, it set the stage for what I hope to be some exciting and amazing stories. It showed some really cool tech, some really cool places. If the show can keep going with this and even greater enthusiasm, we are in for one hell of an amazing show.
The one worry I have is Patrick Stewart, he is an amazing actor that's driving these stories. The whole existence of the show revolves around him, and consequently his health. The question I find myself asking is, does he have it in him? He is one hell of an amazing actor. Yet, the show is missing chemistry - desperately trying to leverage past relationships to build relevance. Time will tell if this works, I suspect there is hidden potential yet to be realized in some of the new actors. They're just "no name" actors standing in stark contrast to a legend, Patrick Stewart.
I'm definitely going to be following this show. There is definitely some potential here. So, I'm going to sit back - and try not to be too harsh and critical. I want to take it in for what it is.
Enjoy it - while it lasts. Lets hope 5+ seasons.
I blasted last weeks episode pretty badly. This week was a complete 180. Probably one of the best episodes of Dr. Who. I have seen in ages. I love Tesla. I've been to the falls. So many great things about this episode. The "bad guy" threat was a bit weird. I suppose they needed some kind of protagonist tho. Best joke was when he called them AC/DC, and told them to stop arguing. So good. If you haven't watched it yet. I highly recommend you do. If your at all like me, and love to tinker with electronics and read the history of inventors, you will love this episode.
So far one of the best new shows around.
Bam!
The Season Premier is off to a great start!
After the loss of the character at the end of season 4, I was not sure how it would be the same. - Yet I think it was the right decision, to keep the show fresh and moving. This episode didn't disappoint. There is new challenges for our group to work out. New Magic in the air. New Quests to be solved.
The world and story has so much potential, so many stories that could be told. Hopefully the whole of season 5 doesn't become a eulogy to our lost character. - Yet the pain of loss is obviously driving the remaining. Its going to be interesting to see where it goes from here.
Very disappointed in this episode. Usually Dr. Who, is great. This one was a non stop lecture on climate change. Someone is really pushing the climate change cult religion these days. Trying to scare people into supporting it. I have a feeling someone got paid an awful lot of money to include this theme in Dr. Who. Makes you wonder, just who's trying to manipulate things - and just what exactly do they gain from it.
Probably the absolute WORST episode of Dr. Who, ever made. Its sad, the new doctor has so much potential - if not for terrible, terrible scripts.
