It’s safe to say the first season of video game adaptation Halo was divisive. Even then, one of its most talked-about moments lingers long in the memory: that of Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) having sex with human-turned-Covenant agent Makee (Charlie Murphy).
It was a moment that set tongues wagging and invited passionate discourse everywhere from Reddit to Twitter, and every message-board and forum in-between.
Worry not, Halo-heads: Schreiber, back behind the helmet of John-117 for a second season, shares your concerns about the relationship that - alongside the video game icon removing his helmet for the first time - courted controversy.
"The decision to make the connection between Makee and John a romantic connection was a huge mistake," Schreiber tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Halo season 2 on the cover.
“I felt it was a huge mistake at the time and I argued against it and fought against it. But I am who I am. I don’t write the scripts. I only give my opinion. It wasn’t listened to."

If you noticed that there hasn’t been a ton of hype or buildup to the return of the Halo TV Series on Paramount+ ever since the Season 2 trailer dropped, there’s a reason for that. While many were curious about what the adventures of Master Chief would look like in Season 1, the results were FAR from what fans hoped for. Not only was the canon stepped on and sometimes mocked depending on how you looked at it, but the team behind the show admitted they didn’t play the games! They did so many things wrong in fans’ minds that said fans were stunned when Season 2 was announced.

It's almost time for Master Chief to return to our screens in Halo season 2!
Halo season 2 actor Pablo Schreiber responded to criticism about Master Chief's helmet being removed and explained why the show chose this approach. In Halo season 1, Schreiber's Master Chief removed his helmet during the first episode, breaking tradition with the games.
Many in the world today don’t like the idea of people talking negatively about another product, regardless of the medium. To a certain level, we can appreciate and respect that. After all, regardless of the result, it’s fair to assume that many people worked hard to create the thing you watched, listened to, or played. However, sometimes, things need to be called out so that it can be better in the future, and the Halo TV Series is an excellent example of that. The first season came out a while back, and it was blasted by critics and fans alike on multiple fronts.

It's been almost two years since Master Chief got some, and nothing has been the same since. We live in a world where Mr. Halo himself has got laid, a very different characterisation than we get in the games. It made headlines, it shocked the world. Now, it turns out that we weren't the only ones who felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber has doubled down on one of the Halo TV show's most controversial decisions – and yes, it does involve his helmet.
