Nanomachines  They should have just had a scene in the beginning of the pilot where one of the bandits launch into a detailed and complicated argument about how easy it is to make a gun when they can make cars and motorbikes before Sunny flies through the air Wuxia style and decapitates him.

Given that they refer to the Widow's oil fields, I think it's a safe bet that they're still using some kind of gasoline.

Well, yeah. I was counter-nitpicking, if you will. Gas is super easy though you just build a fire under the silo and put a pipe at the right height.

come for the gory kung fu fights but things like the lame drama elements will make you want to watch something else.

My favorite part so far is when everyone turned out to be a secret kung fu master. Edit: Seriously, my enjoyment went up 300% when I just accepted that this is a cheesy Shaw Bros movie set in the antebellum South for some reason. Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Dec 5, 2015 |

I swear to christ Ryder's two red dots like old scars were on either side of his left eyebrow for previous episodes in the series, like a very large eyebrow piercing, and now suddenly they're both above his eyebrow.

This show is so loving dumb and I love it so, so much. Even my wife is getting into it. We are both from the South, so now I walk around talking to her like Quinn until she threatens to clip me. I hate that it's new because I want to binge watch it like Battlestar Galactica or something. The teenagers can't act worth a drat, though. MK is so loving awkward, and Tilda's eyebrows bother me for some reason, but it's worth it to watch a beardy southern plantation owner slice up redshirts with a broadsword.

This show vaguely reminds me of the comic series Lazarus, post apocolypse, split up by powerful families, elite defenders. http://lazarus-comic.wikia.com/wiki/Lazarus_Comic_Wiki Its been bugging me since the first episode.

All the episodes except the last one for me had "Previously on AMC's Into the Badlands". The fourth only had "Previously on Into the Badlands". It's now my personal theory that AMC is utterly ashamed of this show.

Also sort of funny that the actor for Quinn was Celeborn in the Lord of the Rings movies. etalian fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Dec 8, 2015 |

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think he's actually a good or well written character, I just think he's more interesting then Quinn or Sunny because at least he's in a position now to either backstab his dad or betray the Widow. To be fair yes, Quinn's accent is probably the best character on the show. I'm not usually the type of person that cares or even notices accents, but that loving draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl he puts on every. other. word is so ludicrous that him and everyone he shares a scene with not cracking up and laughing when he speaks is arguably the most impressive bit of acting in the entire show.

I love this loving show. The fight scenes and the factions are cool as hell. I typically dislike most martial arts movies that overuse wirefu and stuff, but this is good poo poo. The unstoppable demon boy is cool is poo poo, too. Black eyes of death.
