Its 2 am here, it's raining and I am sitting here, writing this review instead of taking my beauty sleep (I don't think it will make me prettier, either, Yarpen). How does one feel when their most beloved story is put into screen? I am biased now, I can tell you that, thus you can take my review not too serious but this particual episode brought tears into my eyes. Incredibale casting (I'm looking at you, Yarpen). You just believe in this world, you feel it in your bones whilst watching. Perfect banter and the perfect dragon boil into the perfect storm. Cons in short: +Borch +Three +Jackdaws

My only complaint is the work of VFX production team. They should be fired for what they did to season 1. I hope they have been already. I hope the show gets a better budget from now on

Another quality episode. Everything worked except the cringy lines they gave Calanthe at the climax of the banquet. Totally didn't work for me. Felt rushed and cringy as hell. Standouts in this episode is Yen's backstory and adding Jaskier to the banquet, it was a good decision and character dynamics thrived there a lot.

+ Yennefer's monologue + Jaskier/Geralt dynamic

• Banquet's climax was poorly executed
• Brokilon sequence was butchered

The best episode yet, every storyline worked well and I really like how they try and do good at focusing on one theme, but at the same time using diffrent timelines and characters, so you can grasp just how rich and big the world of The Witcher is.

Note to every book reader - it is an ADAPTATION. You can see that the writers love the source material and just drop a lot of lines, pieces of information that came much, much later in the saga. Writers did their homework, that's for sure.

So all the changes worked out great and it was a good adapted shorty story, with other characters background's sprinkled on top, especially Yennefer's. My vote is 9, would be an 8 if not for the neck-biting part, glad they kept it.
