Into The Badlands Recap: Nightingale Sings No More

Season: 2 / Episode: 9 / AMC And you say Clipp City FLASHBACK TIME First off, props due, no matter what kind of body shaming your devolved ass is about, why Bajie look exactly the same as he did 20 years ago, though?!? Your boy ain’t aged, put on or lost one pound and don’t seem like he’s lost much edge on his skill level either. He peepin’ the box which we assume contains the girl he mentored and lost a long time ago. Why she straight up punch herself out the box like it was a damn cocoon. Ah. Butterfly, ahh, you slick bastards, I see what you did there. She come out swinging and Bajie gotta give her some space. AS SOON as she picked up the other blade and started dual wielding, I was like, FUUUUUUUCK IS THIS A WIDOW ORIGIN STORY?! YEP. Minerva BEEN a problem, yo. From jump. Turns out, she knows about (seemingly) the dark gift, the book, the city, all dat. Well, as much as anyone else, at least. In the present, Bajie getting himself right to go…wait, save, Minerva? Like, I get that this is his mission. But, does the Widow look like she needs saving? From anyone? Ever? Bajie bullshits his way through the front gate of the sanctuary and gets his beggar’s limp on through the compound looking for the Widow. Sunny making deals with the Widow since she told him that Quinn “took” Veil Da Fictional Bae. The same way my daughter “took” the last chicken nugget because she kept asking me about it and I finally said, “here, heathen.” Fuck outta here man. Can’t wait for that shit to come…
