This may well be the final chapter for Arc 8, or there could be 1 more.

But it sounds like Shotabaru is finally gone after almost 2 full arcs

Decent episode, not amazing but certainly not bad. As you say having 2 Doctor lite episodes back to back is a weird choice, hopefully we'll see more of him in the last few episodes.

And hey, the outside scenes were filmed at my old university campus, too bad I wasn't there when they were filming

I feel like this is the last real feature to come to the game, everything else is just going to be community made forge maps/modes and cosmetics to stick in the store/operations.

All we can do is hope the next game will launch with all of Infinite's post launch content, but given we hoped the same after H5 I'm not feeling that optimistic

Great chapter, the only thing I would've loved to see before Baleroy's death would be a proper meeting with Julius given he was the one to kill him originally but sadly we didn't get that. I presume he wouldn't remember him as his name was eaten but I think it could've been an interesting scene nonetheless.

Still hoping Medium and Flop find out about it

Ooo Eugard and Vincent team up, love to see it.

And that ending wow, I can't wait to see the next part of that conversation

It's crazy to think that Xbox has owned Halo since basically the beginning and have given them one demo each year at their big summer showcase, if they have something to show. They own Call of Duty for less than a year and it's already getting a show for itself.

It's no wonder 343 is failing when Microsoft themselves clearly don't care enough about it

Haven't seen Boom yet but maybe that's because the season isn't hitting for me.

I enjoyed the 60th and the Christmas specials, but the first 2 episodes of this season were just fine. They weren't terrible like the Chibnal era but they also weren't as good as RTD's first era.

I've not had much to do this weekend so it's not like I couldn't watch the episode, in fact I felt like watching Doctor Who earlier and I instead watched some S1 even though Boom is still to be watched.

I really hope the season gets better as the show has so much potential for more great stories, they just need to be made by the right people

What a great chapter, Al knowing Echidna and calling her "teacher", then the fight scene at the end with Al using Ol Shamak, man it was good. And now Subaru is here, I'm looking forward to seeing this scene continue

To be honest, as a huge Halo fan, I was surprised when seeing those studios closed that 343 wasn't one of them. The studio is just cursed, even a leadership change isn't going to save them.

Either make Halo games from all the studios under Microsoft or start a new one with people who are actual fans of the franchise

A fitting end for Rowan, shame he never reached the heavenly sword but he had it coming.

Al is obviously not happy to see "Echidna", I wonder why that is, hopefully one of the next few chapters continues this part and we don't have to wait loads of chapters for it to continue

Honestly I thought it was buffering when Eris was staring at Kazuma, that was comedy gold. Plenty of moments in this episode had me laughing. Especially the body swap it was so good. I was expecting the main content of next week's episode to be in this one but I'm glad it'll be in its own as it's another part which will be amazing if they adapt it well, and after how good the season has been thus far I'm sure they'll deliver

I'm loving Eugard and Iris/Yorna, can't get enough of it.

So the curse of thorns has been passed on? Sounds like it might've gone to Groovy but maybe Halibel has it.
