Starts out good, kinda slow in the middle, ends well

I know nothing of Halo. I'm a gamer, but I've never played them. I have no idea if all of these characters are in the games, or some were made up for the show. I liked the story, even though it seemed to roam around a bit during a few of the middle episodes.

John - I'd kill anyone who put effing computer in my head.
Halsey - What a bitch. The type of villain you love to hate, so it makes sense she'll be around.
Kai - My personal fav. She was big sexy.
Makee - Hated to see her go. She grew on me.
Soren - I get the feeling he has a major role to play.
Kwan - Likeable, but for some reason, not very interesting.
Vishnu - They shoulda kept this dude around. He was funny.

Pretty good show. Looking forward to Season 2.
