Whether you are rewatching or diving in, Season 1 may have you scratching your head when trying to figure out how those timelines overlap - after you discover in Episode 3 that there are different timelines in the first place. 17 and that may have you in the mood for a Season 1 rewatch or trying to scramble together what happened before diving into the new season (the latter crowd clearly loves chaos, and we respect that).
We begin to understand the aura of mystery around the emperor, a crescendo that will build until the very last scene of the season.The Witcher returns for Season 2 on Dec. His goal is to uncover Emhyr’s strategy, which is impossible to predict. The head of the kingdom’s intelligence network, Sigismund Dijkstra, advises King Vizimir, unmasks traitors, schemes and moves pawns to collect information.
Yennefer begins to feel some connection to the elves, and even Cahir chafes at their unjust persecution.Īlthough the episode is called “Redanian Intelligence,” Redania and its spies do not feature too heavily. When the two team up with elven refugees, they witness the brutal oppression their race has been subjected to. We glimpse a new side of Cahir he is more than a one-dimensional ruthless general of an imperialistic force.
It’s interesting to see that he does not abandon her when he learns she has lost her powers. Meanwhile, Yennefer and Cahir are on the run and in hiding, short of options. She even seeks solace in Geralt, but does not let that distract her from their mission to investigate Ciri’s mysterious power. Triss is haunted by the memory of Sodden and is happy to be in a place where people speak honestly to each other with no ulterior motives and where she can be of help to someone who needs her. Ciri has developed relationships at the keep, but it’s clear she needed someone to guide her through magic and through femininity, someone who is not afraid to scold witchers. What were the odds that Jaskier would be the Sandpiper, and exactly in Oxenfurt where Yen needed him? It’s almost as if the show is playing with its prophetic line that “people linked by destiny will always find each other,” because these two are undoubtedly linked, be it by fate or Geralt’s love.Ī guest arrives at Kaer Morhen: Triss Merigold is absolutely enamored with Ciri from the moment she lays eyes on her and takes her under her wing. Their reunion was more emotional than I would’ve expected considering their history, but a joy to watch. The bard’s pain is so raw that even Yennefer refuses to rub it in. I am still trying to get over the fact that Jaskier became the medieval equivalent of a sensational pop star with a breakup song he wrote about Geralt where he damns the witcher for abandoning him. Joey Bates, who plays Jaskier, said the Sandpiper storyline “reminded me of the work of Josephine Baker, who was a performer who used her influence and fame in the French Resistance to do some good for the world, whilst hiding behind the veneer of performance and frivolity.” He is using his connections and fame to smuggle elves to safety, an unsung hero in his own right.
His character is no longer just comic relief, if he ever was. The Witcher Season 2 – Courtesy of Netflix / Susie Allnutt The Witcher 2×04 “Redanian Intelligence”Įpisode 4 deserves five golden stars for folding Jaskier back into the narrative.
