You realize what's about to happen can't possibly happen. You can't get the ''{{Halo}}'' engine to do that. And then it happens. [[spoiler:Warthog right through the wall]]. The following, fully animated action scene is only slightly marred by the fact that [[spoiler: Sarge flubbed his PreMortemOneLiner]].
** [[spoiler: Doc owning The Meta. In one shot. Followed by the Meta slow-motion punching Doc hard enough to ''embed him in a wall''.]]
** All of episode 10, in which the Freelancer's secret weapon opens up a can of whoop-ass on Grif, Sarge, Simmons and Tucker for a full seven minutes. There's a reason they named the episode [[UpToEleven "This One Goes To Eleven".]]
