Thanks so much for the break down. Great series but at times overwhelming.
You are welcome! And ya the series can be a bit much so many characters with so many strange names lol
@@JellyJugz It's not just the names but character complexion too.
I forgot Francesca is played by a non-white actress lol.
Thanks for the videos!
MILF Gard 😂
Super helpful. It had been a while since I had seen the previous seasons so you breakdown helped me to get up to speed with everything that was going on in this episode.
I’m glad I was able to help!!!
Really appreciate the book to show comparisons -- keep up the great work and thank you!
Your Welcome!!! And I appreciate the kind words they mean a lot!!!
When he gives the squire his instrument back, listen extremely carefully. Someone's cell phone is going off.
Thank you so so much for this! It was super helpful! Every time I watch the series I feel like I miss a lot ! So this is helpful
After watching episode 1…I kept wondering why didn’t he finish Rience off or drag him back through that portal…Why would he separate from Ciri and Yen after all they’ve been through??? Yes Ciri can fight and can harness her powers but why risk it running after the fire starter 😩
You are right he could have easily stabbed him right after he broke his hands
I turned to my wife and said "okay, if you can break BOTH wrists, you could easily snap a neck."
@@JellyJugzyes. Any reason why he wouldn’t just kill him then and there besides plot armor? No spoilers though pls
Thanks for this. I watched Episode 1 and then had to get busy with other things. Now, after so many days, I forgot everything that I saw in episode 1. This video helped me get back the memory, and now I can start episode 2.
You’re welcome! I’m glad I was able to help
I think the elves knew where Ciri was because the monster guys eleven assistant told her. When the elf queen (sorry, bad with names!) went to the other elf faction and said ‘let’s join up’, you can see the assistant in the background.
Oh ya your right I think you do see that guy during the fight good eye!!!
You make really awesome break down videos, i hope i would have found you earlier in during season one that season had messed up mind😅
Thanks jj. It's been awhile. You're the best.
You are welcome my friend!!!! And thank you for the kind words they mean a lot!!!
Need your reviews asap.. Helps me follow the story line a lot 😊
Working on them as we speak!!!
Great breakdown! Look forward to the rest if you ended up doing them all individually :)
I will be doing the rest! And thanks for your kind words the mean a lot!
This was very helpful. There is a LOT going on in this show and it was hard to pick up after however long since S2. I think I know who wants what now with one possible exception: what does Francesca want with Ciri? Oh, and… Emhyr (sp?) is here real father? What about the Hedgehog Knight (forget his name now) from S1 - I thought he was Ciri’s father. Wasn’t there something with the… what’s the deal called with the ‘player to be named later’? OK, I lied, I guess I’m still confused about several things.
So Francesca believes Ciri is an elven savior because of her elder blood and emyhr is the hedgehog guy from season 1
Hedgehog Knight is Emhyr ;-)
Great break down! Very thorough! I like 🎉
I’m glad you liked it!!! And thank you for your kind words they mean a lot!!!!
@@JellyJugz appreciate at that man! & now I’ll make to continue to support your channel 🙋♂️🙏🏾💚
Wow, I watched it twice and totally missed that Phillipa followed into the portal 🤦♀️. Thanks
You’re welcome!!! Ya I almost missed it as well and when I was grabbing pics I saw something follow him! You think Rience would have noticed an owl in the room though lol
Thank you for these explanations because I'm watching episodes completely lost
You’re welcome!
Having a hard time standing the way Gallatin talks. Who thought this was a good idea? Do the book specifically describes his voice as a hissing, angry Tom Cruise voice?
The character is
not even in the books lol
Weirdly, this stood out to me also. It's a pretty bad accent.
The actor is Canadian. I think he’s the first North American in the show so his fake accent might stand out more!
❤
Is Emhyr really Emhyr though? Don't remember every detail from the previous seasons but is he the real Emhyr or just a shape shifter?
I mean I know the answer if they keep to the source material
who fixed Rience's hands ? who it might be ?
Well I know but I won’t spoil it for ya
I came here to ask that very question. Haven’t watched the other episodes yet but I believe it’s Ciri’s father or a mage that’s working for him. I’m off to watch episode 2 to see if I’m right lol
@@JellyJugzlease spoil, this series turned to sht long time ago, so doesn’t matter
With every new season, a different mage has a terrible wig. This time Yen, a major character.
Link indaaaa
I'm enjoying the third season so far despite Ciri taking me out of it with her horrible acting. They should've cast such a main character better.

You have a great show in your hands , and you royaly screwing it up. We need better producers and film and script people. You guys don't know which way is up or down. You all need to be replaced. Find someone who knows how to make a movie. THIS show has gone to far in MAKING it. It is on again or it is off again.Get into Gear and finish the 7 or 8 Seasons. I can't understand why are you waiting for. CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNER ,AND HOW FAR ARE YOU. FANS ARE WAITING.. A VERY ANGRY FAN .
I'm not interested in watching more of the Swicher. I wouldn't mind if they actually made improvements on the source material but all the so called improvements were even worse than fanfiction. So I'm not interested in Lauren terrible writing & directing. Besides people have read the article from the CGI &VFX artists , everyone knows she not adapting the books for Season 3. Lauren is writing something never before seen in the books & the games. So anything Lauren says about following the books is just more lies. People watching Season 3 of the Swicher will just encourage these Netflix Morons to produce more of this trash. I'm not watching the CIRI & YENNEFER show. THE WITCHER SEASON 2 ,
one of my biggest problem with season 2 was that i was looking for character interactions & some good dialog but nobody talked about anything except for some witty small talk. i blame the writers because they had an opportunity for some character development & wasted it. they didn't development CIRI & GERALT relationship in the right way when they had the opportunity. the writers rushed to get to KAER MORHEN when they didn't need to. they should have taken their time to let CIRI & GERALT build a relationship. don't even get me started on the on the fact that they skipped the time when CIRI was a child [ 6 or 8 years old ] & GERALT saved her. it was the first time , they met. how could the writers skip that.
the writers completely character assassinated YENNEFER by having her betray CIRI & GERALT. i don't care if she changed her mind & saved her in the end. none of YENNEFER choices or actions make any sense in season 2. there no way that YENNEFER would ever allow any child to get possessed just to get her magic back. she might do something like that to an adult but never a child. i can't understand why YENNEFER would save CAHIR , i can see someone like TRISS not wanting to murder CAHIR but i don't see YENNEFER being bothered about killing some Nilfgaardian she doesn't know or care about. plus i'm shocked that GERALT didn't kill YENNEFER for putting CIRI in so much danger. that's really out of character for him. its really weird that he's so forgiving at the end of season 2. i will be the first to admit i don't like YENNEFER after she left her magic school. i really liked her character when she a hunch back. she interesting & not such a bitch. it seems like instead of trading her womb for her looks , she traded her ability to have kids to be a bitch. i don't have a problem with her being sassy & a slight bitch but her being queen bitch all the time makes it seem like her only character trait. i don't know what GERALT see in her honestly. even in the books & games , they have nothing in common other than CIRI. a child is not enough to make a relationship work. i have no clue why the writers killed ESKEL. they brought in a bunch of new witchers in season 2 but choose to kill ESKEL. instead of killing a new witcher off. that's nonsensical. have a nice weekend.
BLOOD ORIGIN
Here is a criticism of the show that sums up how i feel about The Witcher: Blood Origin , The problem that underscores the entire series is that there simply was not enough time for the characters or the plot to mature over four episodes. The Blood Origin ending does not feel earned because the plot is so badly underdeveloped and the characters follow woefully generic arcs.
The Witcher: Blood Origin also seems to have rushed through its production, which constitutes another case of underdevelopment. The unnamed monster that wipes out the monarchies during the pilot episode is a particularly bad example of CGI. The CGI issue is present throughout the series.
Blood Origin’s Characters Lack Depth , Another critical issue for The Witcher: Blood Origin is that the characters come off as one-dimensional stock fantasy characters. unoriginal characters still come down to poor writing.
As such, these new characters require time on screen and relevant dialogue to set up their backstories and make the audience care about them. Instead, they are given vague and generic backstories that provide minimal depth and cause the show to feel unimportant, creating a massive problem for Netflix. For example, Éile, also known as The Lark, is given a very vague story about needing to redeem herself to her clan. However, it is never clear what exactly she needs redemption for. Moreover, The Lark's clan, as well as all the other clans, are never explained in any detail. Instead, they are simply thrust into the story to provide a paper-thin form of background. Without more information about the Lark's past, she comes off as just another fantasy warrior seeking some sort of ambiguous redemption. In fact, virtually all the characters in Blood Origin come off that way.
Fjall Stoneheart, who ends up becoming the first version of a witcher, is given the same amount of minimal background. In the span of perhaps his first 5 minutes of screen time, Fjall goes from a quick battle scene, to sleeping with Princess Merwyn, to being expelled from his clan. His arc is accelerated so much that his story is unable to take on any individual meaning. Fjall is essential to the plot of Blood Origin, as The Lark is, however, neither of them is important on their own because of their lack of depth. The characters ultimately come off as placeholders in a loose framework of overused fantasy tropes.
Blood Origin Lacks Originality , The aforementioned lack of depth, in terms of the show's characters, the plot, and the world building, causes The Witcher: Blood Origin to come off as painfully unoriginal. Blood Origin uses narration in an attempt to provide depth and make the show feel more important, but this is simply disastrous. Jaskier appears briefly as the narrator's audience, but that does little to make the show feel relevant, or make the narration any less corny. The mysterious narrator also seems to be used in self-defense of the show's lack of originality in a conversation with Jaskier, but its defense only serves to underscore its lack of creativity.
The Witcher: Blood Origin ends up feeling like a collage of worn-out fantasy tropes driven by a skeletal plot. everything from the generic plot to boring character arcs, displays the show's singular underdevelopment in all aspects of writing and production.
I will try read that after I’m done with work lol but i will say the fist 10 mins of this episode was pretty good I enjoyed it at least it
@JellyJugz I think the thing that pissed me & everyone else off was that these Netflix Morons had everything to make an amazing TV show an A list enthusiastic actor willing to do 7 seasons , a rich world full of awesome characters with a magnificent plot that was not like other books , tv series , games or movies , but the Netflix Morons were not interested in doing the job that they were actually paid for. The Witcher Netflix writers are instead interested in making Game of Thrones lite and not the Witcher. Sad thing is that even the ardent fan of the show can't disagree with me.

You seriously typed all that to say you’re not interested in watching anymore of it…I didn’t even read any of it after that. 😅
I was talking about how it pissed me off that the writers can't even do a job they are payed for. The Witcher Season 3 Review☠️
This wasn't good. As the show has tried to extend its scope and scale it's clear the people making it have a reach that far exceeds their grasp. Everything from pacing, structure, character work, and even the action set pieces feel like rushed first ideas hastily executed and cobbled together to meet a deadline rather than well-honed sequences, scripts, and scenes that have been toiled over and shaped with care and a firm vision for what the show is trying to convey. Plotholes, contrivances, wonky magic systems, empty mysteries, and modern self-aware dialogue are rife, and it feels like a show made out of obligation rather than passion and creative drive. It's such a shame, because while not perfect, the books are excellent, so some of the burden creatively shouldn't be as visible as it is in this show, but this need to do their own thing and sometimes vandalise beloved characters and story beats has only placed more pressure on writers and producers to deliver something they simply aren't capable of. The biggest issue for this season apart from the lack of coherent story telling. Is that they are trying to be something they are not. They are not Game of Thrones, they are not Lord of the rings Rings of Power. S1 opened the world of the Witcher. And by s3, I don't even know what I am watching. There is no focus, just long periods of side stories... boring, CGI is there just to be there. Writing has become lazy. You can see that they don't care about the source material. And you can see they try to add modern values to it... Which makes it even worse.
There is a clear lack of understanding from the show runners to the writers room of what makes for competent storytelling. They had good source material, an amazing cast, and world class crew, yet somehow managed to fall into cliche traps (telling instead of showing, character narrating to rush the storytelling process, poor character development). It's like film school freshman read the book report of a failing middle schooler of the Witcher books, then attempted to make something and put their stamp on it rather than respecting the intelligence of their audience.
season 3 character arcs & characterization of the Witcher is really bad. its a sad waste of time. they turn GERELT into a side character in his own show. his action scene are good but the show barely focuses on him , which really a shame because Gerelt is a captivating character as always. i thought the writers might have concentrated on his character more but as usual the Witcher writers are clueless. they turn Radovid into an annoying LEX LUTHER type of character from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. the writers turn Emhyr var Emreis, Deithwen Addan yn Carn aep Morvudd The White Flame Dancing on the Barrows of his Enemies into an incredibly bland boring character. his dialog is the worst. its completely takes you out of the show. Radovid & Emhyr are two of greatest characters & antagonists in The Witcher franchise , [ books , games & anything else ] , so it's really stinks that these characters suck so bad in the show.
if you know anything about BLOOD ORIGIN , then you know that Eredin Bréacc Glas the King of the Wild Hunt is kind of a weakling & really non-threatening so that a waste of an antagonist / villain so i don't have any hope of The Witcher tv show being a really cringe but entertaining tv show , but The Witcher tv show its just awful , i don't know how the writers of the show made Thanedd Coup so dull. uninteresting. boring. tedious. tiresome. they tried to make this entire season into GAME OF THRONE lite , it barely resembles Thanedd Coup. As for YENNEFER , she failed to apologize in any meaningful & significance way to GERALT or Cirilla for releasing discount baba Yaga , taking CIRI to cintra to be possessed , YENNEFER doesn't show any guilt for the Witchers who died in KAER MORHEN or anything. YENNEFER does try to shallowly & half-heartedly apologize to GERALT for maybe a couple minutes in one episode if you add the total up but it lacks substance & any type of conviction at all. As for YENNEFER apologizing to CIRI for taking advantage of her trust & getting her possessed , they have a one minute conversation about it. I'm honestly not sure because it went by so fast that I can't even say that's what the conversation was about. Then the writers just hand wave the situation & nobody brings it up again period. As for YENNEFER actions in relation to the plot season 3 , it was established in almost the whole franchise that YENNEFER doesn't care for politics [ in the games YENNEFER only cares in relation to saving other people, in the books YENNEFER is not that good at politics & you get the gist that among the mages of the north Philippa Eilhart & Vilgefortz are excellent at politics by comparison to YENNEFER & she only cares in relation to her magic school or saving someone , even in season one of the show's YENNEFER leaves politics behind her early. So because season 3 focuses on a GAME OF THRONE LITE version of Thanedd Coup YENNEFER character really suffered from the bad writing especially after her character assassination characterization of season 2. YENNEFER costumes are terrible in season 3. its laughable. Philippa Eilhart & Dijkstra were underutilized & don't live up to their characters at all. Vilgefortz is decent but he's going to be the most unsurprising surprise villain ever because the writers have been dropping really unsubtle hints since season one. Vilgefortz killing the mage in season 1 & interrogating Tisseia about CIRI in season 2 gave the surprise away.
as for CIRILLA , she's good but she's only half as endearing , charming , engaging & cool as her counterparts in the books & games. I like her a lot & her relationship with GERALT is nice , even if I consider it diminished by all wasted potential opportunities of season 1 & 2. The writers do this really annoying thing with her character where they write themselves into a corner so CIRI will constantly get caught by any & everyone after her , even after GERALT & YENNEFER tell her constantly & repeatedly to be careful & stay safe. It gets irritating after a while. CIRI trains with magic & different ways of fighting for a bit but its so so to me because she gets interrupted repeatedly so I don't think of her as a great fighter. A good one but not outstanding. A problem with her character is that the writers are trying to portray her as a great physical fighter instead of a person who uses agility , flexibility, magic sword menship to kick ass & Freya Allen looks thin & tall , in other words not a strong physical fighter. The other critique I have about CIRI is that in season 3 she's just there , she doesn't really do anything plot wise , CIRI is like the Infinity Stones in Avengers Infinity War an important element of the plot but she's inertia in her actions in the show. Hopefully she does something by the end of season 3.
Let's say these 5 episodes have more books stuff than the previous season, but still not enough to call it an adaptation, they just quote the books while they play their horrendous fun fiction, it's boring, bad though, full of inconsistencies, plot holes, and bad dialogues. I'm not interested in watching more of the Swicher. I wouldn't mind if they actually made improvements on the source material but all the so called improvements were even worse than fanfiction. So I'm not interested in Lauren's terrible writing & directing. Besides people have read the article from the CGI &VFX artists , everyone knows she is not adapting the books for Season 3. Lauren is writing something never before seen in the books & the games. So anything Lauren says about following the books is just more lies. People watching Season 3 of the Swicher will just encourage these Netflix Morons to produce more of this trash. I'm not watching the CIRI & YENNEFER show.
So if you haven't seen it yet , save yourself from the suffering , if you have seen it. tell me what you think
With every new season, a different mage has a terrible wig. This time Yen, a major character.
True dat lol
