Halo season 2, episode 8 review: "A more-than-solid entry that signs off a frustratingly inconsistent season" Spoilers for Halo season 2, episode 8 follow. "Just get to the Halo," Kai pointedly told John in last week’s episode. That line has probably been echoed in the exasperated cries of die-hard fans desperate to see one of the franchise’s most iconic moments - that of the original 2001 Xbox title - adapted. When it does come, it doesn’t disappoint. Before then, we get what is - overall - a more-than-solid entry to sign off what has been a frustratingly inconsistent season, with ‘Halo’ even sprinkling in several game or game-adjacent teases that will undoubtedly spark joy in the fanbase. Emphasis on spark.

As Perez aims to drive a spike literally into the heart of the Covenant fleet (complete with a nod to Alfonso Cuarón’s 2013 movie Gravity that is thankfully galaxies away from the video game stylings of her simulation mission), we are introduced to the Flood, the parasitic creatures who take over their hosts to send them on a zombie-like killing spree. Thanks to an economical piece of plotting that brings everyone together - Ackerson and Laera sharing the same cell block is wonderfully convenient - the net soon closes in as more and more of the UNSC falls victim to the wave of new threats. Soon enough, Halsey is infected by The Flood, and so is Laera. In one fell swoop, it instantly gets across how dangerous The Flood are. Halsey, at least, is saved - and literally put on ice, her body hanging in stasis to "stop the progression" in Miranda’s words. Still, this is one flood that won’t be stopped anytime soon, and bodes well for a more horror-tinged third season.
