I'm actually bummed about this. Season 1 was a slog, but I actually really enjoyed season 2. It wasn't *amazing*, but generally enjoyable.
I hope they have luck in finding a new home for the show. Ditch the little girl, in fact I daresay that Chief, Soren, and the female Spartan (her name escapes me) are really all that you need.
Was a shame the Arbiter (or whoever that Covenant elite) was killed, as I thought they'd done a surprisingly good job building him as a compelling rival to the Master Chief. I thought the guy playing the Chief did a good job (even if the chacter was written to be a little more "angsty" than I think he should've been, not sure the political drama worked for the show).
