So this will be my opinions on the FIRST episode of Paramount+’s Halo TV Series.  This will be under a read more.  I get it since it is ONLY 1 episode, there is more coming.  Now, that Episode 2 is out. I feel that the I can post my 2 cents.  It might be a long rant, I’m sorry not sorry!  Still tagged with my Spoiler tag, to be safe.

     I will start with that I am a MORE Book Lore based fan of the series, I started with the books rather then the games.  Where my points come from the Books over the games. While I do understand that the TV Series is in it OWN timeline, called the Silver Timeline. So, it does not follow what we know as LORE for the franchise. I am also a HUGE Linda-058 Fan Girl, soo yeah....

     I am actually happy that we start off with the Insurrectionists/Rebels over the UNSC.  Since we all know that The SPARTAN II program started off as a way to combat them.  Now, tell me why the Innie’s had a BETTER set up with their vehicles over the UNSC with Chief later on in the episode?  Also did you catch the Elites going WORT WORT??  I sure did, that made me happy!

      Silver Team; John-117 [ POINTMAN/LEADER ], Riz-028 [ COMM SPEC ], Vannak-134 [ SUB-LEADER/ASSAULT ], and Kai-125 [ Sniper/INTEL SPEC ].  So we know that the other three Spartan II’s are in lore, however not much is known about them.  Love that we see other SII’s over the core of Linda, Kelly, Fred, and John.  I feel that we do need to see more of them, it just makes sense to me.  Granted I know in the games it more of the S-IVs.  However, Silver Team feels like to me a ‘clone’ or a knock off of Blue Team.  You have John, who is the always considered to be the leader and the Point-man of the team.  Vannak-134 feels like a Fred-104 clone, but I don’t hate it to be honest.  Like I don’t mind it because it seems like he has his back, similar to Fred has Chief’s.  "They can't court martial all of us" - Fred-104, Halo 5.

     Onto the females on the team. I am not the biggest fan of Kai-125.  I think this stems from the fact that I am a HUGE Linda-058 Fan Girl.  Cause Linda is kind of stated to be the GODDESS OF SNIPERS, she works them like they are a god damn art.  John had to order Linda to let him rescue her.  Linda is basically OVERWATCH [ in all caps ].  Perhaps, I need to watch more and perhaps she’ll grow on me.  But right now it is a hard NO from me.  Not only that, Linda would have acted like security in the cave they went into.  That Elite would have had a near 0% chance of running/living, if Linda was there. Also those elites at the ‘base’ shooting at her, would have BEEN DEAD before she moved to provide more overwatch. Riz-028 is a near Kelly Clone but she is not.  I mean she is fast, but not fast a Kelly.  I am waiting to see more of her to be honest. 

     Onto the Cave part, John flagged Vannak with Vannak’s OWN WEAPON.  THESE ARE CHILD SOLDIERS TURNED INTO ADULT SOLDIERS.  Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and crew WOULD NEVER TRAIN HIS BOYS AND GIRLS TO FLAG FRIENDLIES WHILE HANDLING OFF A LOADED GUN. The fact that Kai-125 failed at acting as security for John and failed at surveying the area just screams maddness at me.  But I am not tactical expert, Y’all should have heard my Boyfriend... With the scene at base on Reach, WHY WAS THERE A WORTHOG POSTED THAT CLOSE TO THE SHIP?

    Loved the whole Friendly Fire bit, GUYS THEY THOUGHT SO HARD.  Just imagine if there were more II’s there.  That shit would have been chaotic as all fuck man.  You know who I’m missing?  1 Sergeant Major Avery Junior Johnson, but in a way I am happy.  Cause one would have to find a man who can pull off the SHEER CHARMISA of him. 

     Onto the last piece; John removing his fucking helmet. I get it, it is a TV show.  But excuse me, that man should have had either a bald head or a cleaner high and tight and NO facial hair.  Like I get the argument that people have about the helmet removal.  I have to remind myself that this is just a tv show.  Which they stated that they did not use the game as the base but looked at characters from it.  

TELL ME YOU DID NOT READ THE LORE WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU DID NOT READ THE LORE!!
