This was the main part I really had an issue with. It was pretty retarded but maybe it was in the game.

She isnt leading them. In the Halo Universe there is an ancient civilization that had a connection with humanity. They have her around because humans are the only species capable of interacting with the Forerunner technology.

In the show? At the point where the show picks up, no one knows any of this yet.

The show is taking place just before the first game. At that same point in the games, no one knew any of this either.
The first game takes place immediately following the Covenant utterly destroying Reach. Some survivors, including Master Chief, escape the destruction and wind up at the first Halo Ring, and thats where you find out that there was an ancient civ that built the ring. They have an AI on the ring that refers to Master Chief as the Reclaimer, so its apparent the ancient civ knew about humanity. And so it goes from there through Halo Infinite, the one that came out this past Christmas.

I thought the show looked fairly good and the brutality of the alien invasion was pretty good. Most of these shows are pussies and people just fall over dead.

This has a lot of meh stuff, some cool stuff. The CGI looks... blurry? a lot of the time. They're obviously changing the story up a LITTLE which is fine, making it more about John than just Humans vs Bad Guys and giving John more backstory. He took his helmet off episode 1 which was kinda meh, but at least it's Pablo Shrieber who looks pretty good for the part. Honestly the best acting was him in full suit just turning his head slightly during conversations. Felt very Master Chief.
The part with the Marines surrounding the ship and the Spartans looking at each other, then looking at all the Marines. Oh fuck that was actually tense. Definitely kind of wish it went differently than it did, but that had the makings for some actual good drama/suspense.
Overall: Eh. Watchable, maybe salvagable, but there's not enough in the Halo Universe I think to fill in for the poor writing they seem to suffer from right now.

Given where they are right now, i’ll stick around until the fall of reach and the discovery of the first ring.
top moment of the episode was when the elite put his hand up to the asian dude’s chest and lit up the energy sword. I thought they were gonna all the way and have the elite slice the guy in two.

Did the people who wrote and choreographed that end fight scene in the last jedi get jobs on this?

Clearly the writers played Mass Effect...

The Halo TV show has a cheeky Mass Effect easter egg
They've got so much in common: ancient alien precursors, pretty blue ladies.
