Octopus Overlords

Should I? After Ive watched all Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

It’s actually pretty fun. And the long delayed second season is coming.

Yeah , it's not as action packed as I thought it would be, and the storylines don't quite come together, but it was fun.

I binged the first 4 eps last night. I like it a lot. Its not spot on true with the games lore. But Im digging it. I dont get the female human traitor girl yet. I hope/expect her to die horribly.

In Halo Ive always hated the worms for being both stupid and liars. They have all that tech yet still believe in the gods and their rings as portals when the truth is right in their faces. Ugh. But thats the story and I have to deal with it. The show is fun though.

Looks like next season is better and a big Reach arc perhaps. I dont know who to trust like I did in the games and other shows / miniseries. Halsey or the Keyes...cant tell who is who and what is their motivations yet in first 4 eps. Can say this UNSC seems pretty brutal and dictatorish like. Very nazi like. Harsh.

Ill grit my teeth while watching knowing all the truths about the lore and moaning about them not seeing the whole picture

I find myself drawn to character Spartan 125 for some reason. She is hot I normal dont go for the tall girls and in real life she is 6'3". I think her gun is bigger than me. But also she is the team sniper and I play sniper in games so its a match. Her gun is way cool. Im very happy that they chose her yo give more story too. I was happy with that. Now I just keep worrying they are going to kill her off.

This show doesn't go where I expect it which is kinda nice. Doesn't strictly follow the games or Im guessing the books. The characters are all slightly different than they should be...which also annoys me at the same time lol. Like John going full on to punjch the shit out of Halsey..I was like DAMN! lol.

I do like cortana..she seems spot on from look and sound. The game ones evolved over time so the look I can accept. She sounds just like her to the point Im wondering if its her voice actress playing her.

Not a single mention of peanut smuggling?!?

If only there were some means to look this up. Oh well... guess we'll never know.

I just watched the first 4 eps of season 2 in a row. Couldn't stop watching. Really really good. It centers on Reach...and we know how that will go. Some surprises I must say. Good story telling and hard fights. Saving the next 4 eps. Ill try to watch one a night...its tough.

Only got one ep left and now Im sad. Its just getting better and better. I hate waiting on new seasons.
