      @@oli_e Dude have you seen the netflix recap? It was just a bunch of random moments crammed together. Since it's been awhile that i've watched season 1, i totally didn't remember any of the scenes they showed in the netflix recap. This recap on the other hand, gave me a brief description of the events that happened in season 1 and now i'm totally ready to watch the second season.

    Geralt didn’t wish to free the djinn- he used his last wish to bind him and Yenneffer’s fates together. The djinn was released because he’d used all his wishes. Yenn doesn’t dump him for not wanting a kid- she leaves when she discovers what his wish was because she thinks that means their relationship was never real - just a spell.

      Though unspecified, I believe the wording of the third wish went something along the lines of "I don't wanna lose her", which at the time was meant to save her life but now makes them bump into each other a lot.

    Funny thing is, in the books the dude he saves in the woods from zombies and in whose cart he is passed out. Well that dude also offers him a reward and Geralt invokes the law of suprise yet again, gues what he finds when he comes home? His wife who has taken in a war orphan who is Ciri. So Ciri is not just a suprise child she is a DOUBLE suprise child

    The Geralt-Ciri relationship is DEFINITELY not romantic, nor is it meant to be. In fact, you should have picked up on it with Yennifer's baby rabies - they're setting up Geralt and Yennifer to be Ciri's adoptive parents.

      she was a great character... And unlike GOT, it's not like they gave us great new characters in almost every episodes. She stole the show on every second she was on screen. Might be good thing for the actress, if we think that, surely producers and directors will too.

    Hey man, what a recap! Thanks for your time and effort! It was informative, succinct, and humourous all at once. Now I can actually watch S2 without thinking huh what when who?
