Quick Thoughts: The Demise of the Halo TV Show
Oh, Master Cheeks, we barely knew ye. The Halo TV show has been cancelled by Paramount after two seasons (although I’ve seen articles saying that the studio intends to shop the show around to other networks). I know that I and pretty much everybody else on the internet were lining up to take steaming dumps…

Review: Halo, Season 2
This is Going to Hurt… You might be wondering why, exactly, I subjected myself to another eight episodes of this “adaptation” when I so disliked the previous season.

I have an inkling that this episode of Halo is going to be considered the low point of an uneven season (at least, I hope so). In future discourse, it might even attain the coveted status of “much-maligned”. Let’s start with the fly in the ointment – Kwan Ha. Oh, Kwan Ha. She of the…
