It's time for Last Time On, the podcast for everyone who wants to watch all of that prestige television, but who has time for that? Our hosts don't, so they take the randomized highway down your favorite shows they haven't seen, and try to guess what happened Last Time On!

Join us as Ben and Xhafer find out that the real magic was Bajie this entire freakin' time.

Hello and welcome to Last Time On.

2

This is the podcast for people who want

to watch all this prestige television.

3

But honestly, who's got

fucking time for that?

4

Ben: I know I don't.

5

Xhafer: I'm Jafar.

6

Ben: And I am Ben.

7

Xhafer: we are here with our

finale of Into the Badlands.

8

Ben: Doesn't it feel like we just started?

9

Xhafer: feel like we just started?

10

We did.

11

Ben: Oh right, that's the

whole point of this game.

12

Xhafer: It is what we are doing.

13

here.

14

Um.

15

I was,

16

One, surprised to see...

17

The cliffhanger ending.

18

Yeah,

19

Ben: Uh, yeah.

20

Xhafer: I tried seeing if there

was a, synopsis of someone had

21

said what season four was gonna be.

22

Nope.

23

Ben: Yeah.

24

Uh, but

25

Xhafer: Yeah.

26

Uh, but

27

not, not the full on.

28

I couldn't find anything that might be

fun to read as we go over predictions.

29

Ben: We don't know where

it might have gone.

30

Yeah.

31

That's too bad.

32

I was excited to finally be able to

like, start looking up production

33

information and everything, and It,

it seemed like the show kind of got

34

jerked around by AMC, who were just

like, You're not as popular as The

35

Walking Dead, you're therefore useless.

36

Uh, and found out Season 3 aired over

the course of like a year and a half.

37

Xhafer: Yeah.

38

Ben: Which is just like, oh you

only do this if you hate a TV show.

39

Or your Battlestar Collective.

40

Xhafer: No, no, still applies.

41

yeah.

42

Yeah,

43

So, uh, a bit unfortunate to

see that this is our finale.

44

Uh, but we do get a wrap

up to most storylines.

45

Yes.

46

So let's get into it.

47

, we open on the Widow giving Sonny a sword.

48

Ben: Yeah,

49

Xhafer: Stephen Lang's sword.

50

Yeah,

51

is this the first time we've seen

these two characters together?

52

Ben: We know they have interacted,

but we've never seen it.

53

Uh, oh no, they, they

interact in the pilot.

54

Xhafer: No,

55

they don't.

56

Oh, oh, yes.

57

Yeah, yeah.

58

In the town, they interact for a

couple of seconds in the pilot.

59

And she's like,

60

Ben: hey, come work for

me, and he's like, no.

61

, I'm only the clipper

for the armadillo clan.

62

It's like, haha, no.

63

Xhafer: Yep, yep,

64

And it's Waldo's sword

whom they can't find.

65

Ben: No.

66

So Stephen Lang not

confirmed dead, I'm guessing.

67

Xhafer: Yeah.

68

I said they can't find.

69

Ben: Yeah.

70

Well that means like,

71

Xhafer: like, Yeah, they...

72

Ben: because he's been killed off.

73

He, he disappeared.

74

Yeah, they can't find Waldo then.

75

I know, I'm agreeing with you.

76

Yeah.

77

But I'm saying, elucidating

for the people at home.

78

When, when he disappeared,

we're like, oop, is

79

Xhafer: Ben And I'm sure I'm

making a where's Waldo joke,

80

and you're shitting all over it

81

You didn't need to unzip

so hastily there, sir.

82

It's uncouth.

83

It's okay.

84

After this we see our titular

seven from Seven Strike is

85

One, the name of this episode.

86

Moon, Kanan, Badgey, Sunny,

Minerva, Gaius, and Tilda.

87

Ben: Yes, one of these things

is not like the others.

88

Xhafer: Uh, and they are greeted

by an army of Black Lotus soldiers.

89

Yes.

90

Ben: Uh,

91

Xhafer: maybe actual Azra, maybe not.

92

Pretty sure no, based off of the

things that happened in this episode.

93

Ben: that the Black Lotus destroyed Azra.

94

Xhafer: Yes.

95

But that could also not . that doesn't

mean that they're not from Azra also.

96

Um, yeah.

97

And it could be metaphorically

destroy azra as well.

98

Um, after theme, the pilgrim

turns his 15 dark gifted

99

soldiers into also missionaries.

100

And most of them let

out a board begrudging.

101

Exhale.

102

at The thought of missionary.

103

Come

104

on,

105

Ben: I'm sadly shaking my head.

106

For those of you at

107

Xhafer: you .regardless,

they're still untrained.

108

But we get like an

almost zombie looking mk.

109

Oh

110

Ben: Oh yeah.

111

He's, he's burned all bad.

112

Xhafer: And he's going to teach

them the secret in three sentences.

113

Ben: He's just like, Hey, you don't

have to bleed if you like access your

114

pain and sadness, and boom, everybody

suddenly can turn on their gift instantly.

115

And it's like, why did they need a

whole, uh, Uh, Kung Fu Monastery.

116

Uh, this is real easy.

117

Xhafer: Right?

118

It's embarrassingly easy.

119

It.

120

Ben: easy.

121

I understand, hey, we've got

a lot of ground to cover.

122

Uh, in this episode.

123

But I would have loved to have

like one guy who's just like,

124

I, what do you mean by that?

125

It's just like, think of

some really sad stuff.

126

I'm trying.

127

I don't know.

128

Xhafer: uh,

129

so says some shit to Henry that

makes me think he won't make it.

130

Ben: Uh, he also gives a significantly

worse pep talk to the good guys,

131

who's just like, Hey, we're going

out tomorrow, put your affairs

132

in order, we're all gonna die.

133

It's like, that's not a

good pep talk, um, Sonny.

134

Xhafer: The way he, so he talks to Minerva

after this, and the way he talks about

135

the importance of children, makes me

think Tilda isn't actually her daughter.

136

In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and,

last time on, uh, because if we

137

remember correctly, that renegade...

138

That was doing the rebellion

also called her mother.

139

Ben: Well that seems to be

consistent among all of her people.

140

Yes,

141

Xhafer: exactly.

142

So last time on I have misread

their entire relationship.

143

Tilda is not actually Minerva's daughter.

144

Ben: So biologically not related.

145

Yes.

146

Would explain why they

don't look anything alike.

147

Xhafer: alike.

148

Yes.

149

Ben: So we cut over to, the Pilgrim

and Cressida, and Cressida is

150

having second, third, and fourth and

fifth thoughts, about, unleashing

151

a, , megalomaniacal, wannabe god on

the world, and giving him superpowers.

152

Xhafer: Yep.

153

Ben: Turns out, she may be a

horrible person, she's not pro...

154

Super genocide.

155

Uh, the pilgrim seems hell bent on, , I

can give the the gift to anyone, so

156

either you accept it and become one

of my soldiers, or we just kill you.

157

Xhafer: Yeah, not even the

158

middle ground of, you're willing

159

to be oppressed.

160

Ben: You're either, kung fu

blood, blood mage or nothing.

161

Xhafer: Yep.

162

He says that he's going to

empower her with the gift as well.

163

Whether or not she wants it.

164

Yes.

165

And then we have, a montage of our heroes

166

with weapons to commercial.

167

Ben: Yes, we get a suiting up

montage, which is always awesome.

168

Xhafer: Mhmm, always appreciate.

169

we come back to them making their plan.

170

Badgie and Sunny will storm the

Pilgrim's Temple with the army.

171

Uh, and then the rest are to destroy

whatever actually grants the dark gift.

172

Ben: Yes, there seems to be this

temple sort of thing that they can use.

173

Xhafer: I call it the

Death Star Control Room.

174

Ben: It does, it does have

computers and stuff, yeah.

175

Xhafer: It's, well, it's even like,

it's not the, like, the main room

176

where they fire the guns, but it's

like the room where when they're hiding

177

as stormtroopers, they hide out in.

178

Like, with the red panels and, like,

the computers are the same shape.

179

Ben: that's the, landing bay control room.

180

Yes.

181

Yes.

182

Xhafer: Uh, somebody played

some Star Wars card games,

183

?

Ben: I did, but I also just know that 'cause I'm a nerd.

184

Uh, Sonny

185

Xhafer: because I'm a nerd.

186

Uh, Sunny puts Minerva and Gaius

as Henry's emergency contact.

187

Ben: Yes.

188

Xhafer: And

189

Moon goes with Sunny and Badgey

so that he can kill Cressida.

190

Ben: Yeah, they're like, so we

finally get our seven heroes

191

together and Sonny's immediately

like, alright, let's split up gang

192

Xhafer: We've

193

been hanging out for thirty seconds

194

Ben: and that's too much for me.

195

Tilda, Widow, Gaius, and Silvermoon,

you guys go blow up the magic base,

196

and, Silvermoon's like, But that puts

Cressida outside of stabby range,

197

Xhafer: Hmm, not okay.

198

the

199

Ben: thing I care about is

200

Xhafer: ring I've got some rebar and

201

the only

202

Ben: doesn't have rebar

anymore, did you notice that?

203

Xhafer: I did

204

Ben: He has a nice new claw

that has a, dagger in it.

205

Xhafer: a throwing thing too.

206

Ben: Did you also notice that

Tilda now has two glaives?

207

I was very excited.

208

Xhafer: Minerva tells Gaius that

he's gonna be a dad and they

209

start to kiss before Tilda tells

him that they're literally four

210

steps away from a pile of gore.

211

Ben: Yeah.

212

Like nobody can smell

anything in the Badlands

213

.

Xhafer: Nope.

214

You tune it all out.

215

Years of exposure.

216

Minerva tells Tilda to head

back and live her life.

217

and also we find out Tilda is totally

gay with Odessa this whole time.

218

Ben: Or at least bi

219

Xhafer: Well, yes.

220

The

221

implication being, she is in a, yes,

a queer relationship with Odessa.

222

So, over in the Death Star control room,

uh, the Pilgrim grants the gift and

223

kills an Acolyte who refuses the gift.

224

And then Cressida is saved by the boats

225

invading their island castle

and prepare for battle.

226

Ben: Yeah, we get a

convenient, Okay, you're next.

227

You dare refuse me?

228

Hey, um, We're under attack.

229

We'll talk about this later.

230

Um, sort of thing.

231

And, uh, Yeah, that was the sort

of, like, convenient timing that

232

worked out really well for Crescent.

233

It

234

Xhafer: It did.

235

Our heroes land in charge, and

we cut over to the castle where

236

they open the gates to greet them.

237

And this is where we learn that the Black

Lotus destroyed Azra and spared no one.

238

And that makes sense because they

hunted Sunny, He had the gift, Sunny's

239

from Azra, et cetera, et cetera.

240

So that's why they wanted

Sunny so bad when he was a kid.

241

Ben: And we are set up for a giant kung

fu fight in a natural history mu museum.

242

Uh, I was all prepped for somebody to

fight up the, the dinosaur skeleton.

243

Xhafer: the

244

Ben: And the dinosaur cell skeleton

does factor in a little bit, but

245

Xhafer: not, as much.

246

Ben: as much as I'd like.

247

Xhafer: Uh, Cressida says that

she has loved the pilgrim as a

248

mother, a woman, and a confessor.

249

Ben: Y

250

Xhafer: Yeah, I'm hoping

251

at least only one of those first two.

252

Yikes.

253

Uh, she had a vision of

the pilgrim killing her and

254

everything around them in ruin.

255

He cares not,

256

Ben: Hey, you're gonna

kill the whole world.

257

And he's just like, No, I'm not like you.

258

We've, we've gotten all the way

here because of you following my

259

visions, and now you're just like,

yeah, but I don't like this one.

260

Xhafer: Right.

261

The hubris of man.

262

Ben: Uh, we also now

cut over to, uh, Tilda.

263

Just popping fools with a Crossbo.

264

Xhafer: Yes,

265

Ben: it was great.

266

Xhafer: Uh, with Gaius and Minerva,

uh, they start to plant bombs when

267

MK jumps in to talk shit and get hit.

268

We have our big fight

scene in the main hall.

269

Where are the spears at?

270

I can understand the heroes

not spear fighting, but you've

271

got like an army running in.

272

This is the situation where

you want a couple dudes.

273

With spears.

274

You don't want everyone with spears,

but you want a couple dudes with spears

275

Ben: I mean, it's, it's inside.

276

Xhafer: Exactly.

277

Yeah, You want a couple dudes with spears

for this big open room and staircases, but

278

that's about all you'd want a spear for.

279

Ben: I know.

280

But yeah, once you're not in the main

museum room, like a spear might is

281

going to definitely be an encumbrance.

282

Yeah.

283

Xhafer: But it's so easy to

hold a staircase with a spear.

284

It's embarrassingly easy to

hold a staircase with a spear.

285

Ben: It, it can be if you

know what you, you're doing.

286

Xhafer: with a spear, If

you know what you're doing.

287

Uh, we see baggie suppress the gift here.

288

Ben: Baggies magic now.

289

Uh, Jair.

290

Yes.

291

Woo.

292

Her

293

Xhafer: Uh, baggie was always magic

294

Uh,

295

Ben: I think it's better if you

just don't elucidate on that.

296

Just what happened here.

297

What Ji was always magic.

298

You didn't know

299

,

Xhafer: uh, gie had the gift.

300

Um, and he suppresses the gift

badgie was just always magic,

301

just the whole time, it just

302

never came up.

303

Ben: I never asked.

304

Xhafer: Um, I actually think this

has been present for a while.

305

Because there's a minute in the

scene where we have, uh, Sunny

306

and Badgie a couple episodes ago.

307

Ben: Where they're in the, the monastery?

308

Xhafer: Well, when they're in the, uh,

when they had just like left, uh, Kanan.

309

Oh, okay.

310

And he's talking about, like,

activating his gift, and Badgey's

311

kinda like, well, I can help.

312

I think that was much more like,

not a, I can help kill the dude, but

313

a, I can help suppress your gift.

314

Ben: Like, I literally can do this.

315

Xhafer: Yeah, I literally can do this.

316

Also, I was so confused as

to why Badgie was going.

317

Except, you've got Nick Frost.

318

Ben: I just loved him running

around with his little nunchucks.

319

Just

320

Xhafer: chucks, just

321

Ben: It was very

322

Xhafer: I have to get close enough

to press my thumb To your neck.

323

And then throw you over to

Sonny so that he can axe you.

324

Ben: Uh, I do.

325

When he first did it in this

fight, I was just like, wait

326

Xhafer: Wait, is

327

Ben: is Bady magic now?

328

And then later we get like,

uh, a better shot of it.

329

Yeah.

330

I'm like, Badgi is magic now.

331

.

Xhafer: Yes.

332

Uh, I do think, uh, that Badgie

is quite literally from Azra too.

333

Cause there's the bit at the end where

it's all like, Oh, the last children of

334

Azra, and the man who brought us together.

335

But, like, he's still there, too.

336

Like, I don't know.

337

The Pilgrim could have been

referring to Badgie more than

338

one time in those statements.

339

Ben: Um,

340

Xhafer: without context, it's hard to say.

341

Ben: Um,

342

Xhafer: the Pilgrim, uh, er, is

it, no, Badgey headbutts a dude

343

so hard his head kind of explodes.

344

In this fight too.

345

Ben: Oh,

346

Xhafer: don't know if you caught that.

347

Ben: I saw the pilgrim punch a

guy so hard he spits up blood.

348

Xhafer: Yeah.

349

Yeah.

350

The pilgrim punches people so

hard that they, uh, v blood.

351

But badgi, headbutts a dude and all

of this blood comes rushing out of

352

his mouth and I'm just like, damn,

353

Ben: damn.

354

Xhafer: That's like liquified brain shit.

355

Like that's not pretty.

356

No.

357

Um.

358

Ben: We cut over to Cresta,

just packing her shit.

359

Xhafer: just

360

Ben: just like, Nope.

361

Throw it in the bag.

362

I'm outta here.

363

Xhafer: We get lots of

cool looking sword fights.

364

We see MK versus Tilda, uh, Minerva

and Gaia start to come to a draw.

365

Uh, Cressida is packing up some

spell kit stuff and the sacred

366

skulls and a dark gif initiate is

just like, oh, I'll squirt you out.

367

Sure.

368

Yeah.

369

Ben: You are Cressida.

370

Of course.

371

Xhafer: Yeah.

372

um, MK can't bring himself to kill Tilda.

373

Yes.

374

Uh, given your comment earlier,

do you assume that there was a

375

romantic relationship between these

two that we completely missed?

376

One sided.

377

ooh.

378

Ben: don't believe, uh, so I wasn't

necessarily implying that, uh, Tilda was

379

bi, I was just trying not to box her in.

380

Xhafer: The correct thing to do.

381

Ben: I got the feeling that, MK

would have no problem killing

382

Gaius or the Widow, but has...

383

If not, uh, romantic, at least

strong friendship feelings for Tilda

384

that wouldn't let him kill her.

385

Which also is bringing more to,

when people are activating the

386

gift, they don't just go crazy.

387

Xhafer: Mm-hmm.

388

Ben: It's more controlled.

389

Xhafer: Moon finds Cressida who says

that this war is no longer her war,

390

and Moon does not give a single fuck.

391

Ben: She's like, we don't

have any beefs anymore.

392

I'm not fighting here anymore.

393

You killed my girlfriend,

but, but I'm leaving.

394

It's like, you killed my girlfriend.

395

I'm unarmed.

396

There's no honor in that.

397

You killed my girlfriend.

398

Xhafer: Right?

399

Ben: like, duh.

400

Silvermoon gets tackled quickly

from behind, and while he quickly

401

dispatches the guy who attacks

him, Uh, we do get this wonderful

402

shot of just Cressida zoopin away

on a boat, just like, Fuck off!

403

See

404

Xhafer: See you in season four, bitch.

405

It comes down

406

to Sunny Canaan and bade versus

the Pilgrim in the Fortress Halls.

407

The last children of Ara and the

one who brought them together.

408

So, Ben, uh, I propose,

what happened here?

409

The implication here is that

Bajji brought not just Sunny

410

and Kanan, but also the Pilgrim?

411

Ben: I didn't get that.

412

Xhafer: refers to the group

collectively, we are the last children of

413

Ben: Azra.

414

Xhafer: Azra.

415

He includes himself in this statement.

416

Yeah.

417

So.

418

With the following statement that

implies that Bajji brought the

419

pilgrim either to the Badlands or

saved him from Azra or something.

420

So wa hapa her,

421

Ben: this brings in a giant conundrum

with accents, uh, that I don't

422

think this show gave a crap about,

423

Xhafer: Sure.

424

Didn't.

425

I was able to read some

production stuff now too.

426

since we're done with the show and, season

two and three were filmed in Ireland.

427

Yes.

428

Season one, Louisiana.

429

Ben: Yes.

430

, I think, Azra was the, shining beacon

of life in the post apocalypse.

431

But it was also very class

stratified, and it was, not a

432

place with a lot of opportunities.

433

So, hey, you were safe, but you

didn't have a lot of personal freedom.

434

Badgie

435

doesn't like that.

436

Xhafer: No, he wouldn't.

437

He doesn't play

438

Ben: those games.

439

We learn in this episode, Badgie used to

be a pirate, even though he hates boats.

440

Uh, heh, so, uh, Badgie,

complicated relationship with

441

boats and people who own them.

442

Xhafer: Uh,

443

Ben: so, I...

444

It's possible, but he also had a...

445

Ex wife who owned a boat.

446

Um, But, I believe that Bajie hated

the constraints of Azra so much

447

that he, uh, He became a pirate even

with his hatred and fear of the sea.

448

Uh, and that meant when the Black

Lotus did attack and everything went,

449

uh, went belly up, He was one of

the few people who had some sort of

450

plan, had some sort of idea of, Well,

what do I do outside of the city?

451

I would never leave the city.

452

It's Azra.

453

Why would we go outside?

454

Um, how would I escape the city?

455

I've never thought to leave.

456

And, and Badgie's just like, I got a boat.

457

I've got my, you know,

place where I'm tied up.

458

Here, a couple of survivors.

459

Come with me.

460

Come with me.

461

Throw them into the boat,

putt, putt, putt, putt, putt,

462

putt, and get out of there.

463

Xhafer: Get out.

464

All right.

465

uh, we get some really cool fight

scene stuff here, until Tilda

466

jumps in front of Minerva, Saving

her, but sacrificing herself.

467

Uh, Tilda becomes Minerva's

468

Krillin, her death making her go

Super Saiyan, and she gets the force.

469

Ben: Yeah, uh, she is able to just

pick MK up and throw him around.

470

Uh, so, Ja'far?

471

Xhafer: Yeah, Ben?

472

Ben: Ben?

473

Let's get weird with it.

474

Xhafer: Besides this being

a power that has existed and

475

everyone we see is just an idiot.

476

Like, or not an idiot, but untrained.

477

Mm-hmm.

478

,Uh, like we see the master throw

the broom, which then throws MK.

479

Same powers.

480

This has always been a

thing, we just didn't see it.

481

And the people that we know that are

dark gifted that we see regularly

482

aren't trained in force, push, and pull.

483

Okay.

484

Uh, is my actual answer.

485

But my weird with it answer, uh,

which is what I should have said

486

initially because that's the prompt.

487

Uh, is, it's actually the force.

488

Ben: Ooh,

489

Xhafer: this is a long time

ago in a galaxy far, far away.

490

Surprise motherfucker.

491

Ben: See?

492

Do you fair?

493

I think, yes, Ben.

494

What the gift does is it doesn't just

turn you into a kung fu badass, the

495

gift accentuates and makes you the

best at whatever you are trying to do.

496

Xhafer: do.

497

Ben: So, for most of our people,

who are just violent psychopaths

498

in a post apocalypse, who where

fighting is all you're doing,

499

Xhafer: that

500

Ben: all you would

conceive of doing with it.

501

Yeah.

502

But, Minerva, she's educated.

503

She's learned the classics.

504

And by that I mean, she has

a, uh, novelization of, uh,

505

several Star Wars films.

506

And so, when her power activated, she had

other ideas of what she could do with it.

507

And so, she actually, in a similar vein,

she drew not on the force, but on the

508

concept of the force, as written by

many, uh, Star Wars Legends authors.

509

Uh,

510

Xhafer: heh heh heh.

511

heh heh.

512

Alright,

513

Um, Gaius

514

actually checks on Tilda

while Minerva plants bombs.

515

Yes.

516

Um, and, uh, oh, well.

517

So, Minerva, Minerva kills MK.

518

Yes.

519

Ben: Yes.

520

Xhafer: Uh, we find that Tilda

has a pulse but needs a doctor.

521

She is not going to survive long.

522

The fight at the fort is down to Sonny

and the pilgrim For the moment, Sonny

523

gets run through on his own sword.

524

Uh, Kanan uses the distraction

to turn on the pilgrim's.

525

Suspension.

526

Kink,

527

Ben: uh, ugh.

528

Gross.

529

Uh, she hooks 'em

530

Xhafer: yums.

531

Ben: Don't yuck.

532

Someone's yums.

533

If you have a suspension kink,

probably you want me yucking your yums

534

because it's part of it.

535

Xhafer: Not sure if agreeing or you are.

536

Kink.

537

Yuming.

538

Yucking.

539

embarrassment kink, Ben.

540

Ben: Both!

541

Kink

542

Xhafer: streams are getting

crossed, I don't know anymore.

543

Ben: your

544

Xhafer: said, so your kink

545

Ben: is getting kinked?

546

Xhafer: ding.

547

Yeah.

548

uh,

549

badgi is holding the Pilgrim suspended

in air while Sonny uns stabs himself.

550

Bad idea.

551

Yeah.

552

And kills the Pilgrim.

553

Ben: By jumping off of Badgie.

554

Xhafer: By jumping off of Badgi.

555

He dies in the process.

556

His eyes do a glow thing we

have absolutely no context for.

557

Ben: Yes.

558

Uh, so, uh, Sunny's eyes do a glow thing.

559

Mhm.

560

And he, he dies in the center

of the Natural History Museum.

561

As

562

Xhafer: Built into a castle.

563

Ben: as, that would be how

my son would want to go out.

564

Just die surrounded by dinos.

565

You know, what more

could you possibly want?

566

Xhafer: Over at the Death Star

Control Room, Minerva plants the

567

bombs and gives MK his compass back.

568

They blow it up, I guess

no face turn for MK.

569

Ben: No.

570

Xhafer: Uh, Kanan hosts a

funeral for Sonny with Badgie.

571

He says he's gonna raise Henry.

572

Guess he didn't get the

memo about Momnerva.

573

Ben: Nerva.

574

Xhafer: Uh, Sunny is caught

between life and death.

575

and is gonna train with the Master while

his body is restoring life to itself.

576

Ben: That was the Master.

577

Xhafer: That was the Master.

578

Okay.

579

Ben: I wasn't, I I didn't recognize them.

580

We saw them in one

episode, four episodes ago.

581

?

Xhafer: yeah.

582

Uh, subtitles.

583

They said, the first thing

they said was off screen.

584

You always get a character name.

585

Oh.

586

Ben: Ah, okay.

587

Xhafer: Uh, we get a

big season 4 setup here.

588

Ben: Yeah.

589

So during his death, uh, Sonny's

Powers turned on and it is healing him.

590

Really hope it is not a funeral

pyre, uh, funeral . Um, yeah.

591

Uh, yeah, he, I do think he dies.

592

I think

593

Xhafer: the the language that's used is,

he has died and it will be coming back.

594

And I think that's important specifically

because of when he does fall to

595

the ground, he is holding his hands

out like a certain messiah figure.

596

Ben: They say his body is healing itself.

597

Xhafer: Yeah, his body is

restoring life to itself.

598

Ben: I do think he was...

599

dead.

600

Xhafer: Yeah, yeah, he was dead.

601

And, uh, to be perfectly honest,

without season four, he dead.

602

Ben: Well, no, because they

set up that he's coming back.

603

Xhafer: So, okay, well.

604

Ben: You don't meet a space ghost,

or a, uh, a spirit ghost, who

605

says, You're coming back because

there's more evils to fight.

606

And then they go, Oh

wait, no, oops, sorry.

607

You check it out.

608

Xhafer: And those more evils...

609

Guns?

610

Yes.

611

Ben: the one really, like,

most petulant, uh, uh,

612

Xhafer: uh, what was,

613

Ben: What is the name

614

Xhafer: for accolade?

615

Ben: Acolyte guy, uh, who was...

616

Made MK seem, uh, Seem well

thought and put together.

617

He found a gun.

618

That's not great.

619

Xhafer: Yeah.

620

And that's the show.

621

Ben: Yep.

622

So our, our big bad is dead.

623

MK is dead.

624

Yeah.

625

Uh, Sonny is dead.

626

Xhafer: Tilda's probably dead.

627

We don't,

628

Ben: I'm sure she'll get better.

629

Xhafer: they seem like they're

pretty far away from help.

630

I'm sure it's the kind of thing that they

leave as a plot point for mid season four.

631

Ben: Oh, I was thinking it would be, hey,

we were putting this in here in case you

632

decide not to come back, uh, but you'll

probably be six month jump, you're fine,

633

uh, for the premiere of the next season.

634

Xhafer: They do love their

six month jump in this show.

635

Ben: Yeah.

636

Xhafer: So, All right.

637

well, with all of that said...

638

Why don't we review our predictions

real quick since there's

639

no point in making anymore.

640

Ben: All right.

641

Xhafer: And then, next week we

will go through a synopsis and see

642

how correct or incorrect we were.

643

Ben: Alright.

644

So for, uh, season one, episode one, I had

daytime Ryder tries to overthrow his dad.

645

Evening, Azra is real but it's shitty.

646

That seems like it might be true now.

647

They kind of destroyed it.

648

And primetime, Lydia kills

Quinn and frames Sunny.

649

I've

650

Xhafer: I've got Nick Frost shows up.

651

Uh, Sunny will betray the Baron Quinn

and leave the Red Armadillo camp.

652

Uh,

653

Azra is an all it's cracked

up to be slash is just as bad

654

as the Badlands, if not worse.

655

Ben: Okay,

656

Xhafer: for

657

Ben: Season 2, Episode 1, I have, uh,

Daytime, a Sunny Escapes, in parenthesis,

658

from the mine, uh, uh, Evening,

Badgie helps him with the escape, and

659

Primetime, Quinn wants to use the Sunny

Veil Baby to get back to being Baron.

660

Uh, my daytime, Badgie and Sonny

reconcile, slash, this is their plan all

661

along, slash, this ending doesn't matter.

662

Xhafer: Uh, where has betrayed the other.

663

Ben: like they're

betrayed at the end there.

664

Yes.

665

One has betrayed the other.

666

Xhafer: Uh, my evening is M.

667

K.

668

's master has the same dark gift

as the rest of it and can just

669

use it without going mindless.

670

And

671

My prime time is M.

672

K.

673

rescues Sonny.

674

Once he gets his shit under control,

that might have happened, but it

675

sure didn't while we were watching.

676

No, we then go to

677

Ben: we then go to season two,

episode five, where I've got daytime,

678

uh, Nass and crew Chase, Sonny.

679

It does not go well for them.

680

uh, I still think that happened.

681

We'll find out.

682

Xhafer: out.

683

Ben: Uh, Evening, Ava chases MK, but

decides to, uh, decides to join him.

684

You remember Ava?

685

You remember when she was a character?

686

Xhafer: Barely.

687

Ben: And Primetime,

Quinn leaves Lydia alive.

688

The, uh, Waldo finds her after Quinn

leaves the bunker, and they team up.

689

Xhafer: Uh,

690

my Daytime, NAS shows

up again and gets got.

691

My evening, we won't see Amelia

again, which is specifically

692

in the episodes we watch.

693

Ben: I don't think that mattered.

694

I don't

695

Xhafer: I don't think I don't

think it mattered, but I, I

696

will make the distinction now

as I made when I claimed it.

697

Um, in prime time.

698

uh, they make it back into the Badlands

before the start of Season three.

699

Then we get season 3 episode 1.

700

By the start of season 3.

701

Ben: We lucked out hitting all

of our season, season premieres.

702

That was cool.

703

Uh, I got daytime.

704

The Pilgrim is the big bad.

705

Hey!

706

Evening, uh, the finale

is them defending Azra.

707

Azra is wherever we are, Ja'far.

708

Xhafer: Bullshit,

709

Ben.

710

Ben: man.

711

Azra is in your heart.

712

Xhafer: Keep,

713

Keep going, you've got more predictions

714

to list that actually matter.

715

Ben: than the list

716

Xhafer: Uh, Badgie ends up as

Tilda's regent as she rules

717

the Badlands at the end.

718

Uh,

719

Daytime, Quinn, not dead.

720

And not looking good.

721

And that's Season 3, Episode 1.

722

So if we find out he dies well

before that, then we know.

723

Um, Evening, MK learns the real gift is

the friendship we make along the way.

724

Well, I mean, it's not the

friendship we were expecting.

725

No,

726

Ben: rebar.

727

Xhafer: it's the rebar.

728

It's the rebar.

729

Um, Primetime, Henry will

be in a Kung Fu fight.

730

Nope.

731

Uh, we didn't see one , that's for sure.

732

Ben: Then we get jumped, uh, to

season three, episode seven, where

733

I had daytime the boat sinks.

734

I, we'd never see, uh, uh, Lily again.

735

Uh, I'm guessing they sank that boat.

736

. Yeah.

737

So my evening prediction, Sunny Sister

becomes Queen of Azra, which can be

738

true, uh, Ja'far, if Azra is in your

739

Xhafer: heart.

740

Ben, we've been over

741

Ben: Azra is wherever, is

wherever two people believe.

742

Um, and primetime, the widow

sacrifices herself in the finale.

743

Xhafer: Daytime, Sunny's Sister shows up.

744

Yep.

745

Evening, the pilgrim was exiled from Ezra.

746

Possibly.

747

We'll, We'll see when we read

748

Ben: the recap.

749

Xhafer: The recap, and then

primetime Tilda dies in the finale.

750

Ben: Next we have season three,

episode 14, curse of the Red Rain.

751

Xhafer: My daytime

prediction is moon dies.

752

My evening is mk face turn.

753

Uh, which means he

becomes a good guy again.

754

If you're not familiar with,

uh, wrestling pro wrestling

755

terminology and my prime time?

756

Sunny Dies.

757

Ben: Yep.

758

Uh, I had daytime Silver Moon kills

Cressida Evening the widow gets her

759

gift back and uses it to heal a dying

Tilda at the cost of her own life.

760

Should have stopped about

halfway through that sentence.

761

Xhafer: You were so close.

762

When Tilda jumped in front of that and

til, and, uh, Minerva got the gift,

763

I'm like, oh, Ben fucking called it.

764

Yeah.

765

I was rooting for you in a way

that wouldn't make me lose our

766

game, but would still let you be.

767

Correct.

768

Ben: If they hadn't, like, if she had

not still been pregnant, maybe they

769

would've done that, but like, okay,

she's, we're not going to have the

770

pregnant lady die to save somebody.

771

Yeah.

772

Um, And then primetime, uh, Kanan

shows up out of nowhere to save

773

Sunny, and ends up raising Henry.

774

Xhafer: Okay.

775

Well, she does survive, but she's, like,

fourth on the emergency contact list.

776

Ben: weird, because she's the aunt.

777

Xhafer: Yeah, but, I mean, she's also a

blood relation that he's known for, like,

778

A minute.

779

Ben: I mean, yeah,

780

Xhafer: Minerva and Guy.

781

Minerva and Gais make the most sense

because they're a couple in, a, they're

782

Ben: well off

783

Xhafer: In a financial position

and also willing parents.

784

So those are really the

boxes you want checked.

785

I would say more so

than a blood connection.

786

But maybe that's just my

bitterness about not being

787

Henry's godfather coming out, Ben.

788

Yeah, Fair enough, that's bad a call.

789

Alright, well with that said, we

will be back next week with our

790

synopsis and scoring session.

791

For End of the Badlands.

792

Ben: we'll read what happened, we'll see

how we did, and then, uh, Ja'far will get

793

to pick the next show because he cheats.

794

Xhafer: Just throwing it out there now.

795

It's one point Ben.

796

I'll tell you what, if

I win by one point...

797

we'll,

798

We'll, go to a coin flip.

799

We will go to the old ways and do a coin.

800

Flip

801

Ben: the coin.

802

The

803

Xhafer: call.

804

Ben: ARA

805

.

Xhafer: All right.

806

well we'll see you next week, internet.

807

But before we get there, we got to make

sure that we say thank you to Ripe.

808

Ben: Yeah.

809

Xhafer: God.

810

Damn Goon Squad is a good song

and you let us use it as our theme

811

music and I still feel great.

812

Every time I get to throw

that into a fucking edit.

813

I love this song.

814

You're also an excellent band.

815

Find more of their music

wherever you listen to streaming.

816

Ben: I listen to it a lot on Spotify,

and they're a fun, uh, YouTube follow

817

because they put out videos constantly.

818

Xhafer: Yeah, they just dropped

a music video for Brendan, right?

819

Yes.

820

Which a couple episodes

ago you said was...

821

the song yes.

822

Ben: they also do like,

uh, YouTube shorts,

823

Xhafer: Oh.

824

Ben: every couple of days.

825

Uh, yeah, it's fun.

826

Uh, also thank you to Annette Lucina for

your photograph of a TV that you, uh,

827

licensed under Creative Commons so we

were able to use it for our podcast art.

828

Xhafer: Alright.

829

Ben: And we will see you

next time on Last Time On.
