what happens

Geralt sets out to save Ciri from the claws of Emhyr, unaware of her true fate. Beset by Vilgefortz, Yennefer attempts to uncover his plan.

how it went

Left to right is this episode — its opening to its closing minutes. This is the one span the comments were always describing.

FUN

how good a time it was

MEANINGFUL

how much it moved you

Read from 41 comments — 10 said when.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 10 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“The sheer stupidity of the scene where Keira gets stabbed after she opened the gates to yell at Yennifer while THERE'S A FUCKING MOB. That pissed me off”

“10 minutes in and the story time with this child and her book is possibly the worst exposition dump I’ve ever seen”

“Other than that the episode wasn't really exciting. Very little happen during the episode, so I'll have to see with the rest of them. When the parrot was the best part, I count the episode as a bit boring.”
