— means that we hear Valdo Marx sing this line roughly 8,000 times before the credits roll. As earworms go, it’s no “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” but it does hammer the audience over the head with the episode’s main idea: Almost nothing we’re seeing can be taken at face value.
Much of the episode proceeds in this fashion — not clever enough for a plot structure that’s too clever by half. Geralt has vague, ominous conversations with Dijkstra and Vilgefortz; Yennefer has vague, ominous conversations with Artorius and Philippa. There’s some pretty bad music, some pretty good dancing, and a lot of armchair philosophizing about which side to pick in the war to come, if any at all.
So: Now that the evil sorcerer has finally been unveiled, let’s count the ways this reveal is underwhelming. Despite a hasty attempt to give him some shading in his conversation with Geralt earlier in the episode, Vilgefortz is a character we barely know anything about, so his betrayal doesn’t really sting in a way that, say, Tissaia’s or Triss’s or even Istredd’s would. Stregobor was too obvious a red herring, which ensured no viewer would think he was responsible.
