OMG Netflix didn't have the guts to show the Rat mutilation.

Glad I watched parts of it, but still don't feel I care.

But I look forward to the latest book getting translated to Swedish!

(The English translation sucks.)

I don't got as joyful when the Rats dies as others, because even if they are assholes in the books, they are still humans.

But I don't like the show glorifying them. In the books Ciri is 14 and gets assaulted by them. Reading about the Rats was a horrible experience that Netflix fucked up. Why?

Sure, but I know people that have to handle that system and it is a mess. It is probably worse in USA, but it's a mess. Even dealing with a system that is not built like that, as Sweden, is a hustle for someone that is sick.

I love the bridge scene in the book. But in the US version, Geralt suddenly has to fight a big ugly monster. OMG give me a break. I was starting to like it! 😒

Also also also, although I believe Milva carries her arrows in a clunky way, her shooting is what I always wanted to see in a movie: it's rapid and the aim is precise.

I like the adaptation of Milva too.

Also, the show still does the Slavic culture that I think inspired the "Witcher" dirty.

Also also, you don't say "fire" when you shoot with bow and arrow. There is no fire there. That is something that came with the gun.

But I think even Jackson got that wrong.

Som någon som redan been there done that, nja. Jag har insett att min mor nog var fundamentalt olycklig över vart livet tog henne, och min far var ett rätt stort svin.

-> part of the wonderful complexity and many layers of Sapkowski can be seen there.

Is it still good?

Nah, I would love to see a Polish version though. Movies, not a show. I wanna watch it at the cinema.

Still don't trust US showrunners to do the story justice. It's too complicated. 🤪

-> I got a pleasant surprise when I found out who played Regis, because I was a bit curious about who they would choose.

Motherfucking Fishburn. That is amazing. I watch every part with him in normal speed because I enjoy every second.

The season follow the books more, so ->

Wonderful presentation that shed some new light over this fascinating, but seriously misunderstood period in Scandinavia.

Sweden should do the same.

Sadly they have a similar kind of healthcare insurance system as in USA and it is a mess for sick people, I have learnt.

Just to tip the scales a bit. :P

It is double standards. And if Israel can compete, why not Russia too? Bullocks.

Nu förstår jag varför jag sett rubriker om att S flörtar med konservnazisterna (SD).

And I just NOW, in the end of the video, saw the cute cat sleeping in the couch in the background.
