I will say Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time. Therefore, I can't wait. That said, the trailer was "fine". Seems like if you didn't already know about this IP than this probably didn't make you very interested in it.

Only one sword!? Get the hell out of here!

Hm, Andrzej Sapkowski is probably the richest Pole right now.

Im all in. Cant wait.

I'm still not convinced, but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it might.

Looks like a Targaryen vampire

I'm with El Vaq. I cant wait for this because Witcher 3 might be my favorite game but this is a project rife with pitfalls.

When the Polish The Witcher came out the actor kept the wig and would go everywhere wearing it. He looked like an idiot.

I cant think of a single reason not to be hyped for this.

No singing

At least the girls were hot in the Polish version. Hope we get naked Yennifer in this one too.

Wait, you've seen it?

Whatcha think about the dragons? The CGI one and the rubber one.

You don't know that

Haven't seen most of it. I did at least see the chick you met on set and told her you'd seen her boobs in it though.

Yes I do. Prepare your anus.

Dandelion is gonna sing so hard you dont even know >_>

I still think Eva Green should have been cast as Yennifer; that would have been such perfect casting <strike>of boobs</strike>.

That would have been almost too perfect. I would also have taken Janet Montgomery. New chick is hot and raven haired anyway so I'm not that disappointed.

Jokes on you. Dandelion isn't listed as a character.

Janet Montgomery is the epitome of a TV actress. She will never surpass Wrong Turn 3 on her filmography.

Hes in under his polish bame Jaskier :p

No, yer stupid!

Hey! I resemble that! :rant:

You can't see much of the rubber dragon, that's a scene from the TV show they made out of the movie. But it's there.

Amazing.

Netflix has some big shoes to fill.

In the top left hand corner in the first few seconds of the first clip there is a guy just kicking grass pretending to be in a fight.

Yeah, we - extras have a tough job.

Wait, I ever mentioned I met this woman who was in this Polish Witcher on set, met the Yennefer lady and told her she used to have nice tits?

And before season 1 gets underway, Netflix ordered season 2.

First episode was good. Cavill is fantastic.

Where is this in the timeline?

In between Empire and Return of the Jedi

Geralt shits out the first Ewok.

YAES TIEM TO BINGE

Only one ep in but this def has a great handle on the source material

Yeah, it gets better.

I havent seen past the 1st episode yet, but I hope that's not the last of Renfri we see. I was into her.

The bard reminds me of Tenacious D. They should have casted Jack Black.

" I'm protecting the bard from vengeful royal cuckholds " :lol:

Do you speak that jibberish tongue?

meh. watched the first ep drunk meowst night and don't recall it being something to remember

Just watched 103. Show is excellent.

I want Yennefer all over my face and penis

104

Yennefer is v pretty.

No as pretty as she is in my head. Game was much closer. Still def pretty

Was expecting Triss to be hotter.

Who gives a shit about Triss? Yen or gtfo.

As much as I've been legit looking forward to watching the show, the biggest question I've had was "Are we going to get hot Yennifer nudity?"

Yes, I'm that basic when it comes to my vision for Yen.

Frankie D wants to see if Yennifer is going to ride the stuffed unicorn.

Even her joke sex fetishes are fantastic.

6 eps in. This show hits all the right notes. Only flaw is it does assume youre familiar with the lore theres a lot the show doesnt tell you. For me thats fine since i know already but i have to wonder how itll resonate with new audiences.

It was real good. I think they should have made it a bit more clear when they were doing the thing. Tons of people were probably confused. I caught on at episode 4. But i can easily see people not getting it at all.

They will need a bigger budget if they want to be on Game of Thrones level. The final episode battle was good. They did the best they could with the budget they had obviously. But if that were HBO money, It would have been fantastic.

I also liked how as the show goes, it became more about Yennefer's development rather than The Witcher. Good call by the show runners.

Adorable.

What tongue?

... and two months later, there is one very, very, very pervasive earworm.

Seemed okay to me, as I was unfamiliar with the games (The Witcher was always something that I kept relegating to back burners to eventually get around to one day) nor the books (didn't know they were a thing until that lawsuit tiff) and I felt mostly fine. I wouldn't have liked the time jumping thing as much if I hadn't already heard it does that before getting around to watching. I don't mind time skips, but given the nature of characters like Geralt or Yennifer, it was sometimes hard to tell what was a flashback and what wasn't... and I mean like they'll show Geralt doing something, then they'll show him doing something else, but that second thing was years earlier and with zero warning or hint.

I also got an eerie feeling (not a bad one) that made me feel like I was watching a live-action Claymore, and now I realize I wouldn't mind that at all.

To be tecchnical i dont think there is a single instance of a flashback in this season. A flashback is specifically when a character is thinking back on a previous experience and in turn revealing that information to the audience. This is simply the order of the narritive...which for me i think is very well handled.

I rewatched the show for instance and im ep 1 Renfri tells Geralt that the Princess of Cintri led her 1st battle 3 months ago yet in the very scene prior the Queen of Cintra tells Ciri how she did that at Ciri's age meaning it was at the least 30 years prior.

I missed that my first go around but the show does tell you everything up front if you have the ears to know what youre hearing.

Pardon my tecnicalities, then. I meant time skipping.

Point is, not everything is chronological, and some of it was a little difficult to tell what was taking place when, particularly with Geralt, as he pretty much looks the same no matter when he is (with one very notable exception). It helped I knew about the jumping around going in, but it could have been a little difficult to follow in spots without that knowledge.

I think it made fora great reveal in 107 and 108 when it really sinks in that not only is the narrtive about the night of the attack from 101 but that Geralt was there. I dont disagree it would easily lose an audience but i appreciate that it didnt treat me like i was stupid and it told its story in the order with the most thematic weight.

I did not play the game but felt like the storyline was fleshed out enough. Only slight thing was that the witches were not really built up to much so when they were making a big deal out of one of the witches in the battle going down I felt like "so?".

Triss? Def underdeveloped

Yup, her.

Because they jump around, I wouldn't be surprised if that's something they flesh out later... If they continue in that style of storytelling, that is.

Could be. I guess she's not as important in the books as she was in the games. I only played the games. Just going by word of mouth.

I'm expecting a much larger focus on Triss at some point. She's a major character. I really liked the first season. It turned out better than I expected. I deliberately kept my expectations low. haha

I hope they dont do much with her. I didnt care for the actress

Netflix ended up loving the huge success from the first season that besides Season 2, they also recently ordered an animated Witcher film for production.

Finished this last night.

This was really good. Got lost in the first few episodes on how they handled things.

Netflix definitely putting in the money too. No half ass CGI or fake blood here.

Was that the Wild Hunt I saw in the trailer?

Season 3 is effectively the final season, at least for me. Who gives a fuck about Liam Hemsworth?!

Ehhhhh. I'll give Liam a shot when season 4 rolls around.

Yeah. Hunt was already coming. Covered that in season 2.
