I REALLY hope they get Season 2 for the international audience to see too then, because it's even better and might really prompt a third season pick-up.

While I'm convinced their budget went down for S2 (VFX was a bit cheaper looking), the quality of writing and storytelling was finally finding a solid pace, and the Fall of Reach episode was one of my favorite episodes of Sci-Fi television ever.

Yes, obviously some big changes from the original source material (it's obviously a different "timeline"), but as an OG Halo fan I didn't mind since it was keeping it fresh with new twists, and also made it more workable for the different medium.
