• So.. this is Mad Max – (1979 movie)?
• This reminds me a lot of Six-String Samurai – (1998 movie) too.
• 4:25 — I’m a bit pissed off when various flavours of oriental are used as martial artists.
• 5:45 — And the trunk is empty. Whoops, sorry about that.
• 7:15 — That boy was out cold for a long time. Good thing he has no lasting brain damage.
• 9:30 — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppy fields. Probably for opium.
• 13:20 — He’s going to need some more marks soon.
• 14:10 — I was just thinking “forged”.
• 16:30 — Why does he have a pendant? Why would he have it on?
• 17:25 — Why would he have property?
• 19:00 — Headaches. I wonder if he has an addiction or is being poisoned.
• 22:05 — Why would it hurt her? She’s assured her comforts and has a son and heir.
• 23:40 — A real martial arts master is more than the physicality. There’s a reason there are legends of warrior-poets. A roundedness and a sharp mind are extremely important. This would include literacy.
• 24:45 — Why can’t she keep it? I’m confused. If I were him, I’d cut a deal with the son, to serve him during the power-transition as his father wanes and his son takes up the mantle. Giving him leverage over his most powerful warrior in exchange for either this secret or (preferably) open permission since he’s the very best.
• 26:50 — These are apparently reported kills, but with no confirmation.
• 27:45 — Uh, superpowers?
• 29:10 — There’s a serious problem if he berserks when he bleeds. Basic training tends to make men bleed, if only rarely.
• 31:40 — Wha.. where’d he get two swords from?
• 33:15 — In a world without guns — however that could happen — there would be a lot of crossbows. They don’t require nearly the same amount of skill as a sword.. and are a whole lot safer to use at a distance.
• 34:25 — Does he still have two swords?
• 34:45 — Why can’t he capture the baron or some such? I’m confused. Perhaps some naughty touching? A little? No? Aww.
• 37:55 — No, I won’t promise you anything, condemned blithering ki– oh he’s got super powers. Damn.
• 38:30 — Now he’s got a sword sheathed on his side?
• 40:40 — An offer to move closer is quite an honor.
• 43:00 — He should have covered it after himself. Perhaps he could buy himself some more time by misleading them into thinking he could be hiding within the fort.

• 0:40 — Is that song “jitterbug”?
• 2:40 — Open carry is one thing, but having a sword unsheathed is another.
• 3:00 — Sudden martial artist is sudden.
• 4:15 — Why would a dying man tell on his baron’s son? Are these some sort of third-party mercenary types?
• 12:45 — Why mention there’s nothing special about himself? He sounds guilty.
• 18:20 — Well of course she told. She’s a woman.
• 21:40 — I would have gone in and faked their slaying, or kept one of them alive or some such. Maybe asked why the baren would want them killed.
• 26:25 — Her hair looks damned awful. I tried to give her a chance, and she’s overall cute but.. that hair. Also, she reminds me of Jennifer Connelly. So bonus points for that. Still an overall negative though.
• 28:55 — See the thing about cutting your hand is.. there’s a cut on your hand. And the thing about pretending to cut his cheek is.. there’s no cut on his cheek.
• 30:20 — Getting out of the badlands? Isn’t that where they are now? Out of the badlands and inside the barony? Or does he mean out of the barony, through the badlands to imagination land?
• 30:35 — Oh man she’s pretty. Except those eyebrows.
• 32:25 — How in the fuck does he sneak around into the chamber of the baron’s daughter? Also, who the fuck names their child “~” ?
• 40:45 — A claim could be made that the kid was kidnapped by those dudes to turn him against the baron, and that he freed himself and helped slaughter them. Or something.
• 41:45 — Called it.

• 1:00 — Were I him, I would not go fighting while ill.
• 3:00 — Interestingly, all the women are fleeing and it doesn’t surprise me, yet I would expect all the men from the male baron’s place to be fighting to the death.

• 8:00 — I don’t understand why all of them would have returned. Staying to secure that place would have been useful. Useful as in “the entire point” useful.

  • 9:15 — Oh, maybe some of them did remain behind.
• 14:45 — You think you have a choice, that’s adorable.
• 17:30 — That was pretty awesome.
• 18:15 — Colt (horse)

• 19:00 — Trepanning

  • 19:30 — Or how about you have him clamped down. It seems important to do this right.
• 25:45 — Oh my, she’s cute.

• 29:15 — She was wielding a Wakizashi

  • It occurs to me that this has Japanese influence. I’d be willing to bet that if this had Chinese influence it would have been cancelled just like Firefly – (2002 show).

• 30:00 — A broken damaged thing? Pick one, because you can’t have both.

(abrupt ending)

Unfortunately, I watched this out of order, and saw s01e05 – 2015-12-13 – Snake Creeps Down first.

The fuck.. I’ve seen this, but I have no notes.

No, wait.. ugh, I remember the start but nothing else. Was the start some sort of recap?

• 8:30 — Blood orange
• 25:15 — Monkshood

• 30:30 — Why would they start fighting?

  • Oh, I guess the other side didn’t want to talk it out, and claim it wasn’t one of theirs..

Unfortunately, I watched this out of order, and saw s01e04 – 2015-12-06 – Two Tigers Subdue Dragons after.

• 0:30 — It’s been too long, and I don’t remember his eye thing and attacking her..
• 1:00 — Gods that haircut. It’s so damned bad.

• 14:00 —

  Remember, kindness is a weapon men use to get what they want.

  — Projection.

• 36:15 — That copperhead is likely the agkistrodon contortrix
• 41:45 — Why wouldn’t he finish her off? This is beyond stupid.

• 3:15 — She has clown lipstick on.

  • Oh, I guess it’s a combination of lipstick, the shape of her lips, and shadowing.
• 22:45 — United States Capitol
• 36:00 — Casual misandry.
• 29:30 — The colt has no sword.
• 34:15 — Why is he fighting bare-handed?
• 35:15 — The hell, he has special swords now?
• 38:45 — Were I the bad woman, I would have the tinctures tested on other people..

• 41:30 — Narration.

Well that was shit. I guess I’ll give it another couple of episodes..
