Not sure if the title for this episode is some kind of inside joke the writers are having with the viewing audience as they make a hash of yet another season of The Witcher.
I understand that there is alot going on in the Witcher Universe and as anyone familiar with the text/games would know, it takes a long time to unravel all the moving parts to understand what is at play. We are 3 eps into the 2nd season and I have literally no clue what is happening apart from Ciri suddenly becoming Rei Skywalker and wanting to be a Witcher.
The plot line with Yennefer is simply a mess, where characters only ever talk to each other about what they have done, what they have seen, what is going on with other characters. The show never shows you. Characters appear out of nowhere, another character says who they are and what their deal is and thats it, deal with it.
Why has Geralt spent the past 2 eps sitting around at KM? The events of The Witcher should be driven by him and his adventures in the world, where he encounters these various characters and we learn about the world that way. It seems far more natural and easier to understand than what has been consistently dished out to this point. Instead, Yen continues to soak up the majority of screentime while Geralt is left to baby sit the now sassy and obnoxious Ciri. Its a shame because Henry Cavill is the best thing about this show.
You can see the money on the screen, the sets, makeup, costumes, SFX are all great, but this episode is another nail in the coffin for those in the writers room.
Oh, one more thing, please drop the man bad/woman good fist pumping. It has no place in this story. I came here to escape the never ending PC messaging of the real world.
