Thank you for not making this a slideshow - and on an unrelated side note (well, brought on by the reminder from the phrasing), happy Thanksgiving Kotaku.

So...when's the last time the lead character in a popular show was recast halfway through?

Kinda early for an April Fool’s joke, innit?

I’d rather them delay the season to work around Cavill’s schedule instead of recasting. Especially since I imagine Season 4 will largely be an adaptation of Baptism of Fire, which could be reworked to put the focus on Ciri and The Rats, and reduce the Geralt side of the story to smaller bits culminating in the Battle…

I just want to say that I like FRIENDS, because I know AV Club commenters do not.

Right. The Church has a right to declare sins wherever they like, and we have the right to go right on ignoring them.

SUPER SAIYAN?!!

Did you try turning it off and on again?

We just discovered our 9-year-old is even more anti-Trump than us. Asked to identify the current president on a school worksheet, he wrote, “McDonald’s Dump.”

Hey all,

I’d check your TV. I thought they did a great job lighting. Regina in all of that black.

“Based on the character shots that went up today, I imagine they feel like this show is about two really cool women and Henry Cavill in a shitty wig.”

Like when it was a book? The video games were not first. And this series is based on the books, not the games.

have they though? I think it’s just tough to make long straight hair like that look real

1. Cavill was fine in Man from UNCLE and Mission Impossible Fallout.

Honestly his wig looks better than most fair haired people end up in movies. Certainly looks better than the elves from LoTR and the Game of Thrones perfectly manicured locks.

His hair looks like it actually belongs on his head. Its properly disheveled and dirty.

Ciri is fragile though. In the books she is about 10 years old at this point. She doesn’t become the badass until years later when Geralt runs into her several more times and due to “Desinty” he decides he should train her. It’s a beautiful parental love story and the major backbone of the books.

That’s actually on brand for the Witcher, though.

This is a really bad take.

They all look amazing so far. His hair looks really good. A lot better than the test picture they released months ago.

Keep in mind that this based on the books, not the video games, which take place way after the books do. 

I don’t think the hair looks any worse than the elf hair in LOTR
