Not having read the books or played the game - yet, it was a confusing start with the timeline. This episode made it a bit clearer with what was what. I find it fun to have those aha! moments when it clicks into place, plus it allows us to see all the characters at once. If it followed a linear timeline, it would be all one character for a long time until another came into the story. I do wish it was clearer with the different nations and how they relate to each other so I am hoping time will tell on that. Can't wait to finish the series, it has me pumped to play the games!
I really enjoyed this episode a lot I'm lost to what's going on, but I will figure it out eventually.
9/10.

When you expect the scenes of banquet , the expectation is high. The episode gives in fair manner not only the image of the event but its status of seed for future stories. Henry Cavill proofs be a good Gerald and the game of the three narative lines is crafted in beautiful manner. So, a key - episode and a real good job.
For me the best episode so far
A mix of emotions from scene to scene
The most adventuring episode of the first half
Awesome, simply awesome! To those, who at least played Witcher (3) in Sapkowski's deep and brilliant universe, the law of surprise couldnt be visualized better. How wonderful was that, brilliant. I still can not pick up my jaw from the floor. Wonderful piece of interpretation and fulfilment to the saga.
Did you know
- TriviaUrcheon of Elderwald's story refers to The Brothers Grimm fairy tales, in which a similar story of a hedgehog boy and the Law of Surprise can be found in the tale of "Hans my Hedgehog".
- GoofsDuring the banquet at (10:51) a boy can be seen with a hurdy gurdy. By the way he is holding the instrument it would be impossible to play it. His right hand should be turning the crank while his left hand should be over the keybox and not underneath it.
- Quotes
Geralt of Rivia: At least when Filavandrel's blade kissed my throat, I didn't shit myself. Which is all I can hope for you, good lords. At your final breath, a shitless death. But I doubt it.
