    And the crowd goes mild.....

    The finale is more yennefer oriented. My big problem with yennefer character is that she really isn't a well developed character despite having a tons of screen time eg her transformation from the crooked girl to a powerful mage happened almost in a blink of an eye. She fell in love with that cave boy a moment they met and then the next we they were planning on running away together and the next thing they are talking about breaking up. Then the next episode we saw her became a powerful mage after her rather painful "makeover" . I just never seem to care or feel for her character and too many unnecessary nude scenes.

    This episode focus on Nilfgaard who are too very underdeveloped. We don't know who their king or queen is, we have no idea where there kingdom is located, we don't know there motive for trying to take the entire"continent". All they have shown us is Fringilla and the other soldier are in charge.

    I don't really care about the end Battle. As both sides are not well developed but they are shown as "powerful". Geralt of Rivia practically useless in the season finale. And their long awaited union with princess cirilla is underwhelming.

    Hope season 2 will be better and will keep a more linear timeline

    Bring on season 2

    I loved ever episode of this adaptation of the witcher from some who's read the books and played the games its had me hooked. I cant wait to see where they take it next shame its going to be a long wait but I hope they keep true to how this series was

    Great episode but could have been better

    They could have made it better, more emotional and the fighting wasnt that tight and shot in parts, it wasnt continuous and resulted in a kind of chop chop sequences. a continuous flow could have been great. season 2 is 2021! phewww, long wait..

    Loved the way the season ended

    I ended up really liking this series. The main characters are intriguing and interesting. I look forward to season 2! I hope they don't do the different timelines thing again though. It was kind of cool once I figured it out but wouldn't want it again next season. Good fantasy series!

    A great ending for a good season.

    Right now I completed one of the greatest series at all,the fight scenes were the best of all time without any single mistake and without forgetting the cinematography and for that it deserve the full point 10.

    • Trivia
      Like the previous episode, Geralt's story is loosely based on a part of the short story "Something More" from the book "Sword of Destiny". The same story mentions the Battle of Sodden.
