It’s not often that we get to see a TV series kick off its season in medias res, partly because it’s something pretty difficult to pull off on a television filming schedule. But, of course, times have changed and television has managed to surprise us again and again, and Season 2 of Halo seems to want to make its contribution to raising the bar. If the first fifteen minutes of the season premiere are any indication of what’s to come, we’re in for a pretty good ride. Season 2 picks up some months after the events of Season 1, and after taking over the body of Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber), AI assistant Cortana (Jen Taylor) has disappeared. The same is true for Doctor Halsey (Natascha McElhone), meaning she vacated a spot that is promptly taken over by James Ackerson (Joseph Morgan) — a man with resolve but reluctant to reveal his endgame when it comes to fighting the Covenant. Meanwhile, the Spartans start trying to save different communities while their overpowered enemies put in motion a plan that’s hard for the Master Chief to figure out.
