Redania, the North’s best hope at holding back the Nilfgaardian army, is ruled by a petty and petulant widower king who won’t give up on making Ciri his next bride, while the elves are on their own crusade to wrestle Ciri away from her caretakers.
Nilfgaard is a crusading empire hell-bent on devouring the entire Continent, and Cahir didn’t make a great first impression. But long after it’s obvious that major bloodshed can’t be avoided here, Geralt - true to the witcher ethos - refuses to side with any of the rival factions descending on Aretuza. When we last saw Geralt, Dijkstra was standing with a knife to the witcher’s throat, sneering that he should have chosen a side. After six installments of careful table setting, the show finally sweeps its arm across the top and knocks everything right onto the floor. I like a good cliffhanger as much as anybody, but it’s hard not to question the wisdom of The Witcher’s taking a monthlong break right before the best episode of a pretty rocky season.
