Firstly, we are introduced to a new character, Chau's brother, who very easily gives in to her demands. Then Sunny and Bajie get drugged by a blind man who steals Henry. None of them suspect anything from a man who is alone in the Wasteland? Then Nathaniel finds out where Sunny and Bajie went and stabs Arthur because he asked for reinforcements. Also in the first season it seemed like it was pretty hard to get into or out of the Wasteland, but now they just walk in? I guess it is possible that Bajie knows a secret way out from the Wasteland , but in that case, why didn't they use that to return back in the second season? Then M. K. decides to kill Sunny because he killed his mother, I was hoping for some interesting internal conflict, struggling to make a decision - should he kill one of the only people who cared for him and someone who was his mentor in a lot of ways? But there was no inner conflict, he just decided that Sunny should die despite everything he's done for him. I suppose this conflict could be shown later on, but I still feel like it should have been explored now. He also decides to chase after him without healing his would, which is very dumb and gets him captured by the end of the episode. The Widow and Lydia decide to visit Pilgrim which conveniently happens at the exact time when Chau's clipper attack. Pilgrim believes that the Widow and Lydia didn't have to do anything with the attack because Lydia points out that Chau is the only baron who brands her clippers (pretty convenient again) and Pilgrim decides to just believe that as if it weren't easy for The Widow to brand some of her men or just use some of runaway Chau's clippers. Sunny and Bajie get captured by a group of blind people who kidnapped Henry. They decide not to kill them because they don't wish to deprive Henry of his father for some reason, but only if they join them and become blind themselves. I think it doesn't make any sense for them to spare Bajie as I can imagine he would be a pretty good source of food for cannibals, and there is really no way to keep him alive. Sunny also decides to tell the blind woman that he is actually the one who made her blind. This has absolutely no negative consequences to anyone. The blind people also catch Nathaniel because why would he be any smarter that Sunny and Bajie. Sunny and Bajie free themselves using Nathaniel's metal hand, and decide not to free him because he only wants to fight with Sunny. I actually have no issue with this, but what I have issue with is them fighting a bunch of blind people. How could that possibly be a problem, THEY CAN'T SEE WHERE THEY ARE, but still the blind guys fight like they can see everything. The only thing they do differently is that they navigate by scratching their swords along the walls. I also wonder if that is the best way to walk around, what happens if someone is standing there, do they just cut him/her in half? Couldn't they just have sticks or something. Then the woman who is blind because of Sunny refuses to go with them because "she lived in the darkness for too long to face the light". I'm sorry what? Then she just decides to kill herself. Sunny and Bajie just kind of stand there, and do nothing to prevent this. Sunny told her who he was because he was feeling guilty, risking his and Bajie's safety, but when she decides to kill herself he does nothing? Very noble. Then they decide to free Nathaniel and he decides not to kill Sunny, because he has a son??? Nathaniel knew this the whole time and didn't seem to care. The only reason why they didn't free him earlier was because he just wanted to fight Sunny and didn't even care about getting out, but now suddenly his honor has been satisfied? And again, why did he give up on killing Bajie? Bajie chopped his hand off and now Nathaniel doesn't want revenge anymore? Why?
The whole premise of blind assassins doesn't really make much sense, how can a bunch of blind people with swords be that big of a threat, and the writing doesn't turn this weird premise in something good, but actually makes it even worse than it sounds.
