If Into The Badlands had been a wildly successful franchise (and I sincerely hope it still becomes that one day soon), I could see a collection of essays about how the show’s storylines relate to philosophy being published. Read more: Into the Badlands: Pilgrim Gives War Speech in Exclusive New Clip Now, after fighting so hard for his freedom in a harsh and unforgiving post-apocalyptic wasteland, Sunny is finding himself once again forced to be an instrument of someone else’s insane will. His bond with Pilgrim and the Thunderdome crew echoes that of his relationship with Baron Quinn, who always considered Sunny as a means to an end for his own delusional machinations. However, it’s ironic that “Chamber of the Scorpion” serves as a better cliffhanger than “Leopard Catches Cloud” did last year, as it puts Sunny (Sanzo?) in more physical jeopardy. This is the level at which I like my TV shows written, so I’m pleased as punch that Into the Badlands feels comfortable aspiring to such great storytelling heights now. Even the big bads this season (Pilgrim and Cressida) don’t feel like villains. Everyone’s perspective is taken into account now, and you can emphathize with almost all of them. Taking this apporach is quite an ambitious and emotionally mature move for Badlandsto take, one that balances out the extreme violence we witness from episode to episode quite nicely. We learn more about “the gift”, the Meridian Chamber, Azra, Pilgrim’s schemes, Sunny’s relationship to Pilgrim, Cressida’s distrust of Sunny, and the detailed motivations of pretty much everyone ever.īut I’m not going to call it long-winded.

But in its defense, this episode was designed to be the connective tissue that gives us clarity on a few storylines that didn’t have enough time to gel together during the first half of the season. Yes, “Chamber of the Scorpion” is overloaded with exposition.
