I completely get devoting an episode to Ciri like this. I know a lot of people think The Witcher has to be all about Geralt and Henry Cavill, but Ciri has arguably always been more significant to the universe.
My problem with this episode is that it's just not interesting or well executed. The dialogue is bad and mostly unnecessary. Do we really need her to tell us that she can't see in a sandstorm or that she walked the wrong way at night? It obvious from the context and it's just cringy to watch.
The same goes for all of Falkas dialogue. She speaks only in platitudes and doesn't really say anything. It's all "abandon everyone, give in to your rage, change society" etc. It tells us nothing and doesn't make any sense for Ciri as we know her in the show at this point.
Several times I honestly had to laugh in amazement at how stupid the scenes were. First she kills a giant monster by hitting it in the head a couple of times after she's been lost in the desert for days with almost no food or water. The unicorn is injured, but she puts a small piece of cloth on top of the wound, and somehow that helps and it can walk again. Then the wound gets worse and leaves a huge infection across the body, but she still has to remove the small piece of cloth to reveal that it looks bad. She then instantly masters fire magic om her first try and it heals the horrible infection, which makes the unicorn afraid and run away.
Maybe the episodes makes sense for some people, but to argue that it was well executed is just laughable. I'm glad I can stop watching this show after one more episode.
