Like we have stated previously as well, the Halo TV series has exercised a number of creative liberties when it comes to the core storyline, making changes that sometimes feel unnecessary, and the total omission of the Flood storyline in the first season was one of them. Given how much of a role this hideous intergalactic parasite plays in the lore of Halo, the adverse reaction of the fans was justified, and the makers learned their lesson in due time.
In the very first episode of the second season, a major Flood teaser was given through the insurrectionist survivor of Madrigal, Kwan Ha’s, conversation with Soren’s son Kessler, who mentions the possible arrival of a primordial evil that threatens to become the end of everything. In the cave paintings of Soren’s quarter in Rubble, Kwan finds ominous signs of the presence of Flood. But even Kwan didn...
