Breakfast in Beauclair

Ep. 71 — 101 "Of Ballads, Brawlers, and Bloodied Blades" from Netflix's Blood Origin

05 Jan 2023

Description

Ben from the US and John aka Softie from the UK join Alyssa for our discussion of Netflix's The Witcher: Blood Origin Episode 101 "Of Ballads, Brawlers, and Bloodied Blades". Very important bits include: our standouts and critiques, how the framing narrative eases the viewer into the prequel, pre-Conjunction Elven architecture, the early journey of our protagonists and how their internal conflicts are illustrated in combat, and whether or not the betrayal of the monarchies was justified. Plus, Softie brings a revelation of monolithic proportions.
