The pieces of the story are very slowly put together, and it will eventually become clear whether this is scriptwriting clumsiness or mastery. In any case, impressive atmosphere and an even more impressive chilling scene with the Werewolf.

So, after the last episode, I was all ready to dish out five stars for this one, but... Triss Ranuncul? Seriously? Was that supposed to be a joke? The redhead who is supposed to pass off a nineteen-year-old? This is how the creators imagined her? Hmm... Anyway, The Witcher's fight with the striga was decent, except for the striga itself which looked more like a ghoul.

As much as I disliked Foltest, the stupid black elves, and as much as I didn't like Triss one bit (I'd strangle them over a dozen times for that), the filming of this story was indeed successful. The battle with Striga vs. the transformation of Yen is a great idea and mutually helped both storylines along. Striga is unfortunately a bit cheap-looking, but the atmosphere can't be faulted. Cavill is impressing me immensely so far and plays Geralt with grace.
