Review: The third episode of the Halo TV show kicks things into gear
(Windows Phone Central)

A bit more action and some compelling character work help allay fears. The third episode of the Halo TV series gets things back on track after the last outing. Instead of meandering in exposition, we get a few pivotal new plot threads, with the introduction of one major character that changes several of the relationships we see on screen. There`s still a bit of exposition and shaky dialogue, but it`s clearly in service to a plot direction that`s stronger than the sum of its parts, at least initially. The dynamic of just who Master Chief is — soldier, man, machine — remains compelling, so I just hope the show will be able to handle this balance appropriately moving forward. We also get some unnerving action this time around with a horrifying scene that ensures you`ll never look at Hunters the same way again.
