Instead, we head back to Madrigal and the ongoing adventures of the reformed Spartan and his rebellious counterpart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After questionably getting out of her car and walking straight into a sand storm, Kwan meets the mysterious desert mystics that lead her to a revelation about what her family&#8217;s legacy entails. While Kwan is making her discoveries, Soren is back home, gloating about past glories while kind of answering how he got off the planet in the first place. Eventually, our heroes reunite and face off against Vinsher in a fight for control of the planet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Halo&#8217;s pacing problem rears its ugly head yet again, and most of the action and plot development feel like filler instead of meaningful moments. The series hasn&#8217;t been able to justify the inclusion of these characters, and even when the story finally reconnects with the search for the Halo ring, it feels as though they could have covered everything that happened in 50 minutes in a show intro instead. It will be interesting to see how the series rebounds from this now with only two episodes left in the season. Here&#8217;s hoping we don&#8217;t have to go back to Halo Tatooine for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you think about Halo thus far? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
