Great but with another headscratcher

Really great episode and I would like to give it more points but there are two major flaws.

The first one is an insult to the books and the games. How can you breakt the lore in such a unrespectful and completely incoherent manner? There is one rule and one rule only in the witcher universe and they brook it! Seriously, I had to stop watching for a minute, drink a shoot, calm down and then get back to it. How could they dishonor Geralt that way. There is no way possible that he would ever say no to sex.

Okay, jokes aside. I actually liked the Triss scenes this time and I don't know why, but she looks far more recognizable than last season. Even though I would have wished for a prettier actress, but it's alright.

A really great cast was Dikstra, who may not be fat, but is still badass and really recognizable. His scenes were some of the highlight and show a bit more of the political side from the Witcher world, not through the eyes of the magicians.

But the last scene was a bit off again. It seems the writers really don't have good ideas how to create a decent escape. The whole scene how the refugees got on the ship was weird as hell and didn't seem realistic or even plausible at all. Like seriously, Dandelion how did he do that more than once already?

But besides that great episode.
