The biggest challenges of bringing Halo, Master Chief to TV

Bathurst: Take that scene in Episode 1 where [Master Chief] is sitting in the ship with Kwan, and Kwan's having a meal and talking about the fact that, actually, Master Chief shot her mother. Initially, when I read that, you know, I thought, okay he's going to have his helmet on and that stuff, but I mean, that's what I mean by that impressive piece of [costume] design. I could look at that helmet and that mirrored visor for hours and kind of be intrigued as to what was going on inside. I mean, I actually sometimes found it more engaging when you're looking in the mirror [of Master Chief's visor] going, "What's going on in there?" I didn't find it disconnecting at all.
