Eugh, and just as the show was on a good streak...

And just as Ciri's stuff was getting kind of interesting too. Watching what she gets up to in this episode, I now feel like I have to question what the point of the few interesting parts it had even were. What was the point of the elf boy? What was the point of the shape shifter? What was the point of the forest tribe people? Maybe it's setting something up for the next season, or even later. I don't know, but I do know I've seen TV shows that have set up things that will happen several seasons later and still been entertaining while doing it.

Now we're just back to her running around for a few minutes at a time. Amazing.

Yennefer isn't all that much better either unfortunately, mainly because I just don't care about her and this Istredd guy, although the meeting and voting is a decent scene I suppose.

And then there's Geralt, whose scenes aren't bad, but because of the way the timeline of this show has worked, we already know exactly what's going to happen in his part of the episode, and it's not like showing how we got there is all that riveting to make up for that.

Hopefully the finale can bring it back a little.
