Halo fans relieved as season 2's final episode "sticks the landing"
One viewer was left "completely breathless" after watching the episode.
**Warning: Contains spoilers for Halo season 2.**
While season 2 of Halo may have come to an end, it closed with a final episode that fans will continue to think about in the coming days.
The final episode finally introduced The Flood, which saw Master Chief John-117 come face to face with the Arbiter, and much to the delight of fans, there was an appearance from the Guilty Spark, setting up future episodes beyond season 2.
As with every adaptation, some viewers have been critical of the show, noting that it has strayed too far from the game - but based on the reactions to the finale, plenty are in agreement that it's been the best of the series.
Following the episode release, one user wrote: "My God, Halo. MY GOD. What a way to stick the landing. Just pure gobsmacking. What a season! What a finale!!!"

The praise didn't stop there, as another penned: "Such a good episode damn. Now it really appears they had to establish their own origin for the entire story but now are leading into the first Halo game story."
The second season saw Master Chief lead his team of elite Spartans against the Covenant - and with the galaxy on the brink, he embarked on a journey to find the Halo.
"Completely breathless after watching the Halo season 2 finale," another wrote on X. "They nailed it, no notes. This episode will 'Spark' some strong emotions! Season 3 cannot come fast enough!"
While plenty of fans are excited for a potential season 3, Paramount is yet to confirm whether or not the series will return.
