I expect that Superman pays better than Geralt de Rivia, and at the end of the day, acting's a job. (If you're lucky.)
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

That's got to be a big factor, right? My gut feeling is that the Hemsworth will step up and do well and it'll be fine but mostly that is all so far in the future it's not worth thinking about. I'm still trying to avoid having preconceived notions about Blood Origins!

Thrive to spite them
I could see if there was some creative differences and the change with WB that Cavil would bow out. Even if there aren't writers who think the source material is horrible if it's just unhappiness with the way the show as going or whatever.

Compassionately intolerant
I appreciate the theories. I was pretty gobsmacked, despite not being a particular fan of HC.
The news had me scratching my head. It felt like if Christopher Lee was invited to play Saruman again (even from the grave) and was all, "Nah."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I found out that he was also injured during the filming of season 2 (it apparently was in the news and I missed it) so that might have played into his decision as well.

I was underwhelmed by S2, so I’m in shrug and see what happens mode.
I've never been able to follow even a little bit of the plot, and now that the main eye candy is leaving I don't have a reason to keep watching, so, oh well, I guess.

I don't think Liam Hemsworth represents that much of a step down in terms of eye candy, but I will be very surprised if he can match the enthusiasm for the material that Henry Cavill brought.

Cavill's last season won't be shown until next summer, I think, so don't bail out too fast!
I really want to see the final fight ( Geralt and Ciri side by side down the staircase which I guess isn't really the final fight as such, but it's the final confrontation of that particular long arc ) so I will probably hang on until that should be happening whatever changes happen

Nice to have that confirmed.

This show is just so BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful looking, beautiful writing, beautiful acting. Even when it leans into the 1970s Star Wars aesthetic, it's beautifully ugly.
It’s reminding me of 2001 and THX1138 (is that what I mean? The one that was filmed in the unfinished BART tunnels. I think. It’s been a long time, I might be thinking of something else entirely)
