вЂњNo longer supported by Tilda or Waldo, the Widow must find new allies in Lydia and in Nathaniel Moon - the former regent who lost his hand to Sunny and Bajie in Season two. вЂњIt is only when Henry contracts a mysterious illness that Sunny must join forces with Bajie and journey back into the Badlands, where the Widow and Baron Chau are entrenched in a drawn-out war that has destabilised the entire region. Stephen Harber is the writer and creator of the Batman/Doctor Who Adventures, a fanmade manga tribute.вЂњSeason 3 of Into the Badlands finds Sunny living off the grid, doing his best to provide for his infant son, Henry, in the wake of Veil's death. Keep up with Into the Badlands Season 3 news and reviews here. ItвЂ™s another strong entry in a season of mighty episodes, which makes me wish it had another season or two in the works. It lets us explore the inner landscape of one if its most popular characters. вЂњRavenвЂ™s Feather, Phoenix BloodвЂќ showcases one of the showвЂ™s best fight scenes ever.

But any other type of humor wouldnвЂ™t be out of place in a show like this, which features a graphic death every fifteen minutes or so. And when he does, itвЂ™s mostly gallows humor. If you think about it, heвЂ™s the only character that provides any levity or intentional comedy here. He has some great moments in this episode where gives The Widow and Lydia a good dose of real talk. I havenвЂ™t spoken much about Bajie in these reviews, but Nick Frost has really grown into the character and lately, you can tell. ItвЂ™s cute, but IвЂ™m noticing that although Daniel Wu is the lead of the show here, heвЂ™s becoming just another character who is integral to everything but doesnвЂ™t need as much screentime anymore. Having survived the fallout of вЂњChamber of the Scorpion,вЂќ Sunny goes all Will Forte in Last Man on Earthand starts talking to a bunch of mannequins he hides out with in some abandoned department store. Baron Quinn was a good bad guy, but the dynamic between Pilgrim, his followers, and just about every other character is a fertile ground that reaps rich dramatic reward. Especially Cressida.Д¬an I just say that Babou Ceesay, Lorraine Touissant, and Ella-Rae Smith are excellent additions to the cast? I canвЂ™t imagine this show without them anymore. Nix openly displays the control she has over her gift and expresses that she doesnвЂ™t trust Pilgrim fully, which is dangerous to do amongst his followers. The most intriguing bits involve navigating through the complex web of relationships between Pilgrim, Cressida, M.K., and Nix. Much like the previous episode, everyone has something to do, say, and reflect on, and it all keeps the plot moving forward towards its final stop. Basically, we needed a character study with a wire-fu sword battle - andВ we most certainly got it.ДЄlthough this indulgent act of doppelganging gorgeousness is the main attraction (and climax) of вЂњRavenвЂ™s Feather, Phoenix BloodвЂќ, plenty of other important stuff happens too. ItвЂ™s that as an audience, we needed to have that inner struggle externalized and presented in a visual way. ItвЂ™s not that The WidowвЂ™s redemption arc doesnвЂ™t make sense.

Since both have been at odds with each other ever since the show began, this gives us a strange and much needed sense of relief.

This fight gives The Widow a chance to reconcile the light and dark sides of her personality once and for all. So, at the end, weвЂ™re treated to what may be the showвЂ™s most beautiful action sequence ever: a Widow versus Widow fight to the death.

Spoilers! The Raven is actually just the Widow herself.
