Did they change the pronunciation of Jaskier or am I misremembering it?

Is it me or are Geralt's eyes more yellow than S1?

---

We rolled straight from a rewatch of S1 into S2 and his eyes are more yellow and Ciri goes from white/clear eyebrows in the first scene to suddenly having brown eyebrows while she's asleep under the lean in.

---

I knew something was off with Ciri but I just couldn't figure it out.

I pretty much have to think of this as an alternate universe of the Witcher story. There are so many unnecessary changes in this adaptation it's hard to reconcile

Author said you have to think of the books, games, tv/film as a separate lore

We're only 3 episodes in, but this season seems to have a higher production level than last year. Are any of y'all seeing the same?

Three episodes in and enjoying it. I have no background with the books or games so no comparing and am just enjoying. However, in episode 2, what is/was the person(s) the three mages saw??

The actor playing Filavandrel gained some weight over covid. Hard to be elf-like with neck jiggles

Loving the show and I'm not quite done yet.

I read the books but i have a question. The show brings up a monolith at point point. This part of the show's storyline isn't featured in the books, right? I just want to make sure I'm not going crazy.

I liked S2 but wanted to see a different approach in the final episode.

No, it's not.

Just finished the season. Really enjoyed this season but thought that the mother daughter relationship they were developing with Yenefer and Ciri was going to have more payoff. I'll be interested in seeing where they go for the next season.

If I'm a betting man, the trio is now formed. Geralt, begrudgingly a father by chance/fate, Yen, begrudgingly a mother not of her own loins, Ciri, begrudgingly a daughter due to the slaughter of Cintra by her father, who is testing fate by rejecting the law of surprise

I haven't read the books, but yes. With Duny being The White Flame searching for his daughter, perhaps Nilfgaard will meet a similar date as Cintra.

One thing I loved was the scene with Jaskier where the dockman talks about his songs jumping around in time and how he saw the dragon reveal coming from a mile away

Was S2 E1 with Nevelon(sp?) taken from the books or the game? Seems like that was in the game but it all runs together now.

It was based on the short story "a grain of truth".

Damn, I didn't mean to stay up until 2 finishing this show, tonight, but here I am.

Here's what's funny, I'm an avid WoT reader and read a couple of the books (the two random ones before the main story) and played a little bit of Witcher 3.

I love Witcher and don't really care about the deviations that I know of.

On the other hand, I'm raging at the deviations with WoT.

Most of that is they're spending purposeful time to make themselves appear diverse whereas Witcher is just telling a story that happens to have a diverse cast.

If you enjoyed Witcher 3 and the short stories you should read the rest of the saga, you would probably enjoy them.

Thanks.

Finished S2. I liked it a lot, better than the first since it's easier to follow. They've changed quite a bit of the details from the books but are still pretty aligned at a high level.

My only complaint is the lack of naked Yennifer

thats probably why you are taking issue with one and not the other. i felt similar with GoT as you do with WoT (having read all the SoIAF books multiple times thru) yet dont feel so strongly about WoT since I have only read the first 6 or 7 books (maybe i'll feel differently once i complete the series perhaps). But as only a casual fan of WoT, and The Witcher (read the first 3 books maybe and never played any of the games), the deviations and changes on tv dont bother me for the most part. i think when you are an avid fan of a particular book series, any changes made in the tv adaptation are more intrusive and offensive.

That sucks. Typical though. Lure you in with naughty first season and then it goes away once the actor becomes semi-known.

I'm looking forward to this season, though I don't like when the cast is changed.

---

no cast is changed

Y'all looked up who the actor is that played the warthog/man right?

Yeah they had to expect we'd want to have the hump back.

I kept thinking "his voice sounds so familiar" but still didn't recognize him without the beard once he transformed.

A few more episodes to go, but how high is the connection!?

Funniest part of the how is the diverse way they use the "f*ck."

You can always count on it being used a new way in each episode.

Jaskier is a master at that
