This season was meh. The Blood Gulch segments were uneventful and anticlimactic. The episodes in general were very short too.
**SPOILERS**
Summary for each storyline of the WHOLE season.
Blood Gulch - Chruch fools around in BG around for awhile, finds Tex, then what? At the end of season 8, when Church is giving the monologue, I felt like finding Tex was going to be the hard part for Church this season, but she showed up really early and nothing really happened when she did. It was VERY anti-climactic and at most times I was just waiting for it to go back to the PFL storyline.
PFL - Marine spills coffee, and falls on alarm. Tex shows up and owns everyone at everything; PFL steals the sarcophagus. Roosterteeth makes a Halo version of the highway chase from Matrix Reloaded. Action scenes were good, but Season 8: Chapter 19 is still the best.
