I joined Paramount+ for Halo but stuck around for 1883, it's a unexpectedly good mini-series.

Oh, forgot about that. I put it on my watch list because of your recommendation. I'll keep Paramount until I have watched it.:hi:

Really good episode today, easy 8/10 for me. Pretty tense episode, solid pacing, and best of all, no B plot at all. I hope the rest of the season keeps up with this trend and pacing, this was a solid episode. 

Yeah, that was awesome. I don't know if I have ever seen a show go from garbage to pretty darn good in the span of two episodes. Fingers crossed they keep it at the level it is now.

That’s how I felt about wandavision. Those first three episodes were tough to get through

I just slightly cackled upon seeing the mockup of the Spartan Laser. I would be tickled if that actually got used at some point.

I was trying to figure out what real guns they used for the base of all of the guns in the room in that scene. I didn't come up with much. Maybe a couple M-60's?

Good interlude/story episode.

Oh joy. An entire episode dedicated to Kwan Yu Suk.🤢

Perfect. I can skip this episode then and take a week off. See ya in 2 weeks.

Maybe in S2. I am waiting for the rocket launcher, which I know they made a prop for.

I was afraid this would happen as soon as I heard this episode was only the main plot line. That the following episode would be solely Plot B. 😠

The B plot/story is killing this series, I think it's universally disliked, even by people like me that still like the show overall. Everything comes to a halt with Kwan and the Madrigal stuff, it's just not interesting and I don't care about anyone or anything going on, it's killing the pacing of this season.

So, how was the stand alone side quest episode?:D

Fast forwarded through all of it looking for the A-plot in about 5 seconds. Nada. See ya next week.

I still can’t get over that the Master Chief is Pornstache from Orange is the new Black. Lol

I can't see him as anything else but a dock worker from Baltimore.

And as we go along, I think he's fitting into the role. I doubted a bit at first, but I think he's got it.

As to esp7 'All About Madrigal' it was an alright episode. Nothing outstanding, but good filler. And I think they actually tied up that plot-line...
 

Spoiler

At the end, Kwan and Soren returned to her family's compound, where Vinsher Grath caught up to them, along with a lot of his men. Thinking they were done for, Kwan revealed how they could blow the refinery's fuel stores, and seek shelter in a bunker just off the main central area. She does so by using a rifle previously dropped by John-117 and shooting at the tanks. Vinsher and all of his men were then incinerated.

Before that though, Kwan was told that her family had been Protectors of a planet-wide secret, and that she would be the one to 'open the door' for John, so their plots will come back together again near the end, I assume.

Again, not bad. For filler.

Good lord this show is all over the place. IMO it has more bad minutes than good by a pretty big margin. IDK why I'm watching it anymore. Well, I do. It's because I'm watching all of the good shows with the wife and when I want to watch something when she's not around I'm stuck with drek like this.

If it wasn't "Halo" I would have turned it off by now.

He did it all for the nookie.

Was anyone else thinking............that it was a little weird watching a love scene with two virgins?:pardon: It certainly lasted longer than I expected.:rofl:
