I still think that the widow is the "sister" of Sunny. They were probably bffs when they were little. Both the specialist of specials. I hope we get to see a widow training arc where she gets powers back and maybe gains new ones.

Pilgrim going to be super OP.

He was probably just below Sunny, if that, as a fighter. And his "gift" is probably going to be as strong or stronger than MK's (which dumps on most other people's).

Yeah. I hope we see that too.

I dunno but I'd be cool with that, I really like the widow outside of that bad/stupid/terrible evil run in S2.

In order to save his son, Sunny may have unleashed a monster. Looks like Pilgrim took Henry's gift and leveled up himself and it was sounding like he might have the power to give the gift to others and create a dark army from what Bajie was saying.

The Master coming through in the clutch for Minerva. I agree we need to see some training sequences of The Master helping The Widow glow up in order to take on the Pilgrim threat. They got hyperbolic time chambers in the badlands?

Nathaniel Moon putting in work on the battlefield and off it with Lydia.

I think Sunny's sister could be a new character we haven't seen before.

I could see her possibly linking up with Sunny/Bajie/The Widow to take down the Pilgrim threat in the 2nd half of this season.

I watched WWE Money in the Bank so I didn't watch this live but my goodness what an episode. I thought when all those arrows stopped it was one of those "Damn she about to get fucked up" slow downs. Then when I realized what happened I thought her powers kicked in then I realized who was there. Looks like Widow is gonna get her powers back.

Also so this was the mid season finale? I though it was the season finale.

Hot dang the Master is going to give Widow her powers back and make her unite with Chau (her silver pants, gold heels, and white cape tho - stylish AS FUCK) to fight Pilgrim's dark army in the back half of the season. That's some series finale end game level shit tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if they sprung a "this is actually the final season!" announcement on us in the coming weeks with the way this is shaping up...

I was really hoping that a random Techno or House track would start playing once they inserted the compass, lol. It's not a missile silo or nuclear silo. It's an underground Dance club yo!

AMC (what I saw on Reddit) says that this is indeed a mid-season finale. With the way it ended it has to be a mid-season finale.

Pilgrim's all, "that wasn't even my final form, Sunny."

I understand where Bajie is coming from but uh..... You're endangering Henry. Sunny isn't going to let that happen and with how fast the sickness was moving in Henry's body and face? Sunny isn't going to take that chance. He's not going to risk having his baby die while on a search for another cure that will probably not show up for a long time (maybe there's no cure at all!). Come on, Bajie!

I don't think Pilgrim is actually the bad guy here. Seems like a good dude.

Yeah. I hope they pull a fast one on the audience.

Pilgrim's hard to read. He's obviously using people but sometimes he seems like he is good. Or at least not bad.

During the white bone raid there was a picture of what looked like George Washington, thought they were going to pull back and show the White House.

Also Semi convinced Widow got played

I'm glad we are getting everyone connected for the Azra/Pilgrim/Sunny story. The Widow/Chau war plot line was really starting to lose my interest. It would be the biggest twist if Pilgrim getting Henry's powers is NOT a bad thing. Dudes who believe they are the savior of mankind getting godlike powers never goes well. Sunny fucked up bad and he knows it. Should have listened to Bajie.

If there's one thing I appreciate in this show is that it never lingers on a storyline. Moves at a pretty brisk pace.

When is it coming back?



Pilgrim is definitely a bad guy. I'm assuming the master and her students were preparing all this time for this inevitability.

Damn, Nathaniel went all Dark Swordsman on that army. I appreciated the shots of ours "heroes" offing female soldiers, its not very common to see it and it gives a little nuisance to what is a basically a live seinen anime.

Nice to see the series going big scale now. That was a good fight.
Tilda didn't do much in this episode.

Considering how long previous season transitions took, I'm not that surprised unless they only give us three or four episodes and peace out. Frankly I'd rather they spend the time to do the action scenes right, rather than the mess we got in S2.

Some good insight, still no firm release date. Mentions Jan or Feb time frame for season 3b, goes into some fight choreography stuff, experience on Tomb Raider and difference in filming.

I think Pilgrim is the kind of bad guy who thinks he's a good guy. Probably in the same way that a mad scientist thinks he's the good guy because he's trying to save humanity.. by "evolving" humans into ravenous spider creatures who can't die.

Also I finally got caught up on the show on Netflix. I feel like the first season is sort of tough to get through but once I finished that I was sort of hooked.

Into the Badlands returns on Sunday, March 24 and Monday, March 25, kicking off the back half of season 3. These will be the final 8 episodes of the series.

As we enter the final chapter of Into the Badlands, an imprisoned Bajie warns Sunny that Pilgrim can't be trusted. But with his son's life on the line, Sunny struggles with his decision to help Pilgrim unlock the Meridian Chamber. Meanwhile, M.K., still reeling from the revelation that Sunny killed his mother, is hell-bent on revenge. Kidnapped by The Master, the Widow is forced to confront her past. Moon meanwhile races to save Lydia from impending death after she risked her life for his on the battlefield. As the last episodes unfold long buried secrets will be revealed, new alliances will be forged, and the saga will climax in an epic battle to end all battles.

So we finally get a return date for them to announce the show is ending. I know it wasn't one of the highest rated shows on AMC, but I thought the ratings were solid.

Ugh, pretty shitty way to end a great and unique series.

Is this even going to feel remotely like a series finale, considering how long ago it was filmed, perhaps with the expectation of renewal?

I watch and like the show, but frankly I'm surprised it lasted more than 1 season, and I'm glad we get one final season for it.

Disappointing but I'm actually glad that it's not going to overstay it's welcome. Guess it'll depend on how they end the series.

It actually was one of their highest rated shows, but I think they had just gotten to the end of the story they wanted to tell. (it was also very expensive, so I'm sure that played into the decision to end things sooner rather than later)

It seems like this was planned all along, judging from the logline. Also, season 3's order was for 16 episodes, so their intention was always to split it - it was just confusing because they didn't announce it was the final season beforehand.
