because later episodes of the first season comes back again and again to the same siege of Cintra and its prior history, though from different angles and with different parts of the backstory being filled in. A couple of your points are explained further in a way that makes a little more sense, but most are not.

There is a thing I noticed in the first episode where Mousesack mentions Stregoboars' locking up the mutant women, but the way he describes it, sounds like it's in the distant past, whereas Stregoboar talks like it wasn't too long ago, and Renfri was one of the subjects, and she can't be that old. I thought it was another mistake, or maybe Stregoboar and Renfri age more slowly like Geralt, and they are hundreds of years old. But if the Cintra story is going to be an ongoing part of the narrative, maybe that suggests the chronology isn't synched up? Like the bard Geralt meets in episode 2, who begins making up songs about him, and by the time Cintra falls, those legends have spread? Geralt isn't famous to the people he meets in the first episode, but early in the third, a hooker knows the songs about him.

And now we have the council of wizards or whatever, with Stregoboar on it, talking about Calanthe's predecessor and her potential as his heir. They are also talking about the king of Nilfgaard wasting money on self-indulgence, while in Geralt's story, the miners mention a past revolt against a King of Nilfgaard with similar faults. So Geralt is dealing with Temeria after the council is discussing Calanthe, but we don't know where on his timeline his adventures in Temeria or with the elves & the bard in the prior episode occur.

Yeah, I have a feeling you're not going to like the rest of the season much better... - 16/01/2020 05:05:23 PM 395 Views
