Very important bits include: our episode highlights and critiques, whether or not history is destined to repeat itself, pre-Conjunction magic versus Chaos magic, how 'Blood Origin's' proto-witcher compares to the contemporary ones of Geralt's time, Scían's secret plan, representations of Irish culture and folklore in the show, and cross-over production details from 'Blood Origin' to 'The Witcher'. Plus, stick around until the end as Michelle and Vang cut onions for Alyssa.
