Episode 6 shall now be known as “Women of Halo”. Every single person of some importance, except the Master Chief, is now a woman. It gets a bit much seeing so many women in military roles. I know they had female marines in the Halo games/books, but not to this extent. That is not all, almost every character that drives the plot forward is now a woman. For a game that started as a man’s fantasy of a heroic soldier, has now been totally subverted. Congrats modernity.

It’s time for my weekly dose of sleeping aid. However, I didn’t fall asleep during the show this time, but if the suffering lasted any longer I would surely have. So, what happened in this episode? Well, nothing. Master Chief and crew managed to flee Reach. Soren’s girlfriend somehow succeeds in bypassing the ship blockade of the planet and finds them in the ruins of Reach. Before that, one of the Spartans (the female one) almost suicide by “rescuing” a corpse. I guess the drugs the Spartans are on screws with their sense of survival instincts.
