watch into the badlands season 3 episode 6

Although in fairness I can’t remember if that has already been revealed or not. It helped to foster the dissension among Pilgrim’s ranks, and also introduced the idea that the Widow might have had the black-eyed gift herself, at one point. It was nice to see her turn some of that overwhelming charisma towards skilful political manoeuvring rather than just kicking everyone in the face. A simple exchange: Castor, for the Widow’s assurances that she’s not to be feared, which as we’ve learned over the seasons is complete bullshit. Castor, who was captured in the previous episode, is enjoying interrogation at the hands of the Widow and Nathaniel Moon, who plan to use him to leverage Pilgrim while he’s still supremely pissed off that Cressida went behind his back and manipulated the young boy into fighting for Baron Chau’s Clippers in the first place. Meanwhile in “Black Wind Howls”, to offset burgeoning discontent in the refugee camp, Tilda makes a desperate, fragile alliance with The Widow in order to do away with Baron Chau. It’s all coming together, just in that unusual, ad-hoc way that things tend to in this show. Sunny, meanwhile, continues to enjoy visions of his childhood after his encounter with the Mad Witch and it turns out he has already voyaged on the boat that Lily spirits him and Bajie away on. I’m quite okay with this.īesides, the idea of a buccaneering Bajie sits quite well with me, and we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy that had “Black Wind Howls” not just introduced his piratical backstory out of nowhere. I didn’t know I wanted any of this until I got it.īeyond the sheer joy of using a squid as a set of nunchuks, Bajie and Sunny have ventured to the den of disrepute to track down the former’s ex-wife, Lily, a dodgy smuggler who they need in much the same way that they need a new colourful character every week, which is to say so that the show’s production team can show off new ideas and environments and bits of worldbuilding. “Black Wind Howls” reintroduced us to AMC’s fantastical martial arts epic with a fight scene that incorporated fake Nick Frost acrobatics and a variety of seafood being used as weaponry. Seeing as Fear the Walking Dead continues to disappoint me like some kind of resentful child, it’s nice, after a week away, to tune into a show that I actually continue to enjoy watching. Into the Badlands returns after a week away with “Black Wind Howls”, a character-driven episode that delves into the Bajie’s past while Pilgrim’s HR issues continue to cause him problems.
