Much better than Ultimate Tag.

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.

That doesn't bode well at all. Based on what they say it sounds like Netflix hired them as a PR move rather than because they actually wanted their input.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Tom, thanks for that heads-up. I'm not on Insta, do you know anywhere else Mike's statement can be read?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

On the lighter side, Henry Cavill talks about the swords on The Witcher.

Thrive to spite them

I resubbed to Netflix now that there are multiple things I want to watch. Started The Witcher but I feel like I'm missing a lot of back story.

I've seen ads for Teenage Bounty Hunters or something such title that looks ridiculous but also something that might be a bit of a laugh at some point.

My understanding is The Witcher jumps back and forth between multiple timelines without actually telling the audience this, which can cause some confusion or feeling like you've missed something. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet despite hearing good things about it.

Ars Technica had a review of Teenage Bounty Hunters that was pretty positive: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Witcher jumps between a few spots in the timeline -- it becomes clear about mid-season how the threads come together, but it's rough going until then if you don't at least know the characters from the game world and/or novels (and even then, the plot was weird). If you're ok with spoilers, there are guides and charts and graphs out there, or if not, some reassurance that it all makes sense later may (but also may not) help?

It's really good, and has a ton of pretty, and great women characters, if you decide to stick it out.
