The Witcher - Netflix **Spoilers**

😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲😱😲

Can I just say that as a long time fan of the Witcher series, it's great to see these little reviews from Slydice. Someone coming into it completely fresh and just enjoying the show and leaving their thoughts on it and predictions.

Just finsihed the second season now. Never played the games. Enjoyed Season 1 but had had enough with the time jumps.

Thought season 2 was excellent.

Jaskier was excellent.

Am I correct that Nightmare of the Wolf is a prequel?

Is it set before Geralt’s time?

Also I need a reminder - does a Witcher age like a normal human? How old is Yrnnfer in season 1 ?

Flicked this on over Christmas with no prior knowledge or expectations. Flew through both seasons and have loved it so far!

Where would be a good place to start reading the books if you've finished Season 2 ?

Loved this show - really loved it.

From the start 🙃

Sword of Destiny and The Last Wish are collections of short stories in the Witcher universe which are kind of a lead up to the events of the main story much like S1 of the show. Blood of elves is the first part of the Witcher saga and covers much of Season 2 but there are some differences and potentially spoilers in blood of elves that haven't been covered yet in the show.

The book order is listed on wikipedia.

I started season 2 last night.

This show is great.

The episode had a proper old fashioned fairy tale feel to it. The writers and the actor did such a great job on Nevellin’s character that when the truth about the curse was revealed it felt like getting kicked by a horse.

I know the chronological order of the story from season 1 but I have a question about the when of things.

Geralt and Jaskar were in Cintra for the wedding of Ciri’s parents which was 16/17 (??) years ago. As best I can recall Geralt last saw Yennifer and parted ways with Jaskar after the dragon hunt - how long ago was that?

Do Mages age slower than humans or do they not age at all?

And what about Witchers? Is Geralt aging slower?

Mages age much slower that humans by a few hundreds years, but I don't believe they're immortal. Witchers also age slower, but their lifespan is unknown because non of them ever died a natural death.

Thank you both.

I don’t know if Witcher creation process or the sterility was ever talked about in season one but if it was I have zero recollection. I remember hints and comments but not anything solid.

Now that you’ve explained about Yennifer I do remember this from season one. I had intended to rewatch it before season 2 but never had the time.

Witcher emotions have also been talked about but it is something I keep forgetting until it is brought up (there was a comment in this episode) because Geralt does, I would say, have emotions, but is kind of socially awkward about it all. I assume something in the process didn’t take or how long he has lived has caused this - I’ll ask no more as no doubt it will come up on the show.

Yeah I think they mention Witchers can't have children which made it all the stranger that Geralt ended up being tied to Ciri through the Law of Surprise thing, and basically ended up with a child.

As for Witchers and emotions, I'm basically assuming that it's possible it depends on the mutation, that maybe it doesn't fully remove all emotions completely. They definitely have some emotions considering their relationships with other Witchers, but I think the mutations remove/dull most but not all emotion from them. That's my own logic to it anyway.

Really? She definitely looked older but I didn't think there was that big a difference at all. Though I did rewatch Season 1 just before Season 2 so maybe it was easier to see it was the same actress rather than if you hadn't seen Season 1 since release.

She was definitely given a lot more to do this season. I thought she put in a great performance other than just Season 1's constant "Where are we, and who are you?" for 10 episodes.
