    I think it’s funny that later we learn virginity doesn’t affect magical abilities at all.
    I do agree with you about it being important that it is Calanthi’s idea. We might always get it in a flash back or something later though.
    I’m disappointed that Ciri doesn’t know she is a child of surprise from the beginning because I do feel like that diminishes a bit of understanding from the viewing audience as to the relationship between her and Geralt. In the books, I learned a lot from Ciri and her own desires, even as a child, to meet the man who would be her destiny. She knew she was special and she couldn’t wait to discover why. I just always liked that about her.
    Great video! It will be very informative for people who may not have read the books or didn’t understand what was going on.

    The monster was said to have been "moaning and groaning in the halls" of the palace... I don't think that moaning was quite what the people thought it was.

    Glad to have you back Gray. Great content as usual. “The Law of surprise,” this archaic tried and true belief seems to be a revelation or conundrum depending on the choice/choices, and or actions made by a person/persons which could and would usher in a most assured (folly) calamity. The lesson learned here is..”Don’t Fuck with Destiny!” because you will loose. Thank you for the warm winter juice.

    I haven't read the books, but I have read the rundown of the study on Wikipedia, so take that for what its worth. With all honesty, I don't know how they can make the ending work for TV, assuming the wiki is accurate. But that's not my question.
    In the books, is there any explanation given for Duni's curse. There isn't in the show. I suspect that his curse is there for a reason. Someone didn't want him to marry Paveta? And what exactly was the curse? Yes, it made him look like a porcupine, but why? Could that be his true nature? Not a monster per-say, but someone who is ugly inside? Knowing the ending I think you know what I mean. Maybe the queen was right to try and keep the two apart.

    I too fucking hate the Law of Surprise. Children are people, they are not belongings, "destiny" or no. Destiny, faith, religion, tradition are means used to control those who are weaker, nothing more (children, women and minorities being the usual targets). I love fantasy, but I find this truly off-putting, unfortunately. It's such a Deus ex machina plot device, too. Mhe. I have not read the books or anything, so I don't know if this destiny nonsense gets turned on its head, but I sure hope it does. Maybe you can focus a bit on that in future videos?
