Not sure why people seem to dislike this TV series. I absolutely loved it, 100%. I've only played The original Halo, and a little bit of Halo 2, so any other developments to the character in later games, I am unfamiliar with. That said, I highly anticipate season 2, and hope that John will be revived as I like how Master Chief has depth. I honestly think it makes him more human. After all, that's indeed what he is.
