The whole "Geralt is a hammer, Radovid is a spoon" theory does make a lot of sense. And now I want Jaskier and Radovid spooning.

Still waiting for Emhyr to do something.

Ah, the classic delivery of a loved one's severed head.

Dijkstra, you cold, cunning bitch.

First the conspiracy against the Redanian queen, now Cahir killing Gallatin ... if all the problematic people keep taking each other out, who will be left as a threat in the end?

There's no way people can see Yen's eye colour when she's walking past them in the dark.

I like how unimpressed the dwarf lady is by Emhyr's tale.

WTF kind of relationship do Philippa and Dijkstra actually have ?!

"I don't do pretty", Jaskier said, like a liar.

How dare they cut off a scene when Joey Batey is just about to sing?

Ooh, Jaskier knows exactly what he's doing with that prince :)

That creature with all the body parts and the three heads separate on the wall is one of the best, creepiest, most horrific monster ideas I've seen so far and whoever thought of it truly understood the assignment.

"And no matter how ludicrously anyone is dressed, don't stare", Yennefer says in her glitter bikini.

But - and I should have guessed that - it's Philippa who takes the cake with her sequin jumpsuit and feather headdress.

Still don't like that troupe of bards, but their song is catchy and works really well with the narrative.

Stregobor's only security measure is that one little moth?! What if someone breaks into his chambers while he's not only a couple of rooms away but somewhere across the continent? Wouldn't the moth still have to fly to him to alarm him? For who knows how many miles, through all kinds of weather and, well, not exactly speedy? What if someone along the way swats the moth like the fragile insect it is? This is so stupid.

I keep forgetting about Lydia and I don't know why. She's way more memorable than some of the other mages.

I did not expect Cahir to question Emhyr. Or Emhyr to be so chill about it.

Then again, Emhyr has yet to do something. Himself, I mean. He does have Cahir to get things done for him.

That other bard and his troupe are absolutely obnoxious.

"A life should only be taken as a last resort", says Geralt, whose job description is basically "monster killer" and who slew a whole bunch of people looking for Ciri in 3x01 without batting an eye, even though knocking them out would've probably been enough.

I simply love witcher Ciri.

Triss, tell Yen about the missing elven novices!

So Fringilla recovered quickly. Good for her.

Jaskier and Ciri improvising Geralt and Yen's reconciliation in the woods is one of my favourite moments so far.

I didn't expect Jaskier and Radovid to get together so soon, but I'm not complaining.

All these important characters pairing up to go to the ball with their own game plans is really nice build-up for next episode.

But WHY is Yen wearing what I can only describe as a glittering bikini top?!

Look, I know it's fantasy and within the fantasy genre you can't logically argue that things are historically inaccurate - and yet I can't help but think that the fashion and make-up look really anachronistic. And not in a cool, unexpected-but-somehow-fitting way, no ... it just looks modern and artificial.

But I see Geralt is still his grunting old self.

The owl lady is not nice but I like her.

The elves are in a really bad state, but their current leaders make it hard to root for them.

Geralt is fooling himself when he writes he needs to learn to trust Yennefer again - he does already, having let her leave for Aretuza with Ciri.
