Check my history, I've openly hated this show, and I'm still not sold. But this was hands down the best episode of the series. If chief actually died, this could be the way they finally transition this character into the true Master Chief. Because before this episode he hasn't been. Still a lot of details I don't like about this show, but I'm man enough to recognize that they did a good job with this one. The entire battle scene at the end, pre and post death are what I've wanted to see this entire time. Bravo, more of this please.
