It's been so long I feel like I'd have to rewatch, and Im not going to do that

I'll watch the new season probably feeling lost. And, yes, noticing the change in Geralt.

It feels like it's already dead. I'm not really interested anymore except that watching feels like giving it a proper burial.

It's really tough because I consider Cavill's Geralt to be on of the most iconic castings in Fantasy screen history. That said, we know the monster fights aren't going to suffer and the physical difference is negligible. The politics which were the weak link of the story was also finally getting good in season 3. At the end of the day the glue that really held the show together and kept it on top the fantasy show heap was the chemistry between Geralt and his co-stars (Yennifer/Ciri/Jaskier). Hemsworth's success is going to depend on how well he recreates that.

Hemsworth totally makes a fine Geralt I think and if we had never seen Cavill we might even think this was a perfect casting. But we have seen Cavill now, and at this point I dont think anyone will fill those shoes.

The public should get over it like they got over 5 spidermen, 7 supermen and 15 batmen. Cavill does have a gravitas to him while Hemsworth will prolly yuk it up a bit more. Maybe they tone down Jaskier a bit to level it out. Whatever the case that's where this will work or fail.

Finally got to Wednesday. It was pretty entertaining. Nothing ground-breaking but entertaining if you were into the first season. What really stands out is the soundtrack though. We got Paint it Black on the Cello the first season. This season it's acoustic Bad Moon on the Rise, Instrumental Don't fear the Reaper and Piano version of Zombie by the Cranberries. Danny Elfman is a Fing master.

To me, Season 2 felt like two completely different seasons, and I actually liked the feel of the 1st half better than the 2nd half. 2nd half wasn't bad, I just found the 1st half really enjoyable.

Joffrey from Game of Thrones has a role, and he's incredibly annoying. He's going to get typecast as a character to hate.

That's kind of a shame. Everyone talks about how incredibly nice he is in real life.
