The Witcher Season 1 Episode 6 Recap – Rare Species
December 20, 2021 - In Geralt’s experience, mutations are manmade hence his reasoning that a gold dragon isn’t rare; it doesn’t exist. Dara was starting to question the Doppler as he couldn’t explain how he escaped the Nilfgaardians. He answered that Geralt had saved him and told him to look for Cirilla.

The Witcher Recap, Season 1 Episode 6: ‘Rare Species’
December 21, 2019 - I’m not sure The Witcher actually cares if we’re surprised by this twist — but it does take some of the punch out of scenes like Borch’s “death,” because when a person who is actually a dragon falls off a cliff, it’s probably safe to assume they’ll just use their wings to get out of it. Which is, of course, exactly what happens. But if the adventure is a little more perfunctory than usual this time around, it’s because this episode is ultimately more interested in exploring the bond between Geralt and Yennefer.

'The Witcher' Review: "Rare Species" (Season 1, Episode 6)
December 27, 2019 - For Yen, there could be a chance at correction but for Geralt, he has been and will always be, a Witcher. He’s a character that has very few regrets, though the ones he does — such as his inability to save Renfri — haunt him even decades later. But as harsh as Geralt is, he also shows a softer side that reaches past Yen’s emotional shield wall and salves the pain of never feeling important to someone. Sadly, it lasts only so long before that karmic bitch of destiny rears its head. Perhaps the last moment between these two in season one, the Geralt and Yennefer split is as well done as every other scene they share with one another.

The Witcher episode 6 recap: Geralt and Yennefer hunt a dragon | PC Gamer
December 24, 2019 - The witcher refuses, saying he doesn't kill dragons—that is, until he sees who's on the other team. It's Yennefer, resplendent in furs, staring at him with those dreamy violet eyes. Jaskier, remembering the events of episode five, wants to get as far away from her as possible. But before the bard can finish his protest, Geralt grunts: "I'm in." Borch is delighted—Jaskier, not so much. ... 1.

I'll admit this episode has some weak moments compared to the rest of the season thus far, but I'm looking through this thread and the amount of people who are comparing things to the book and freely spoiling things for the people who haven't watched further episodes are staggering. Just because you've finished the books guys doesn't mean the people who are new to Witcher lore and are being introduced by the Netflix series (me) want be be spoiled by your whining about what happens in the books BEFORE THEY HAPPEN IN THE SERIES.

I don't understand the hate. I loved the episode. Sure it was cheesy as hell, but had the great moments. I loved how Yennefer played dumb woman in love to manipulate the knight. Angry Scottish dwarves were hilarious. I think there were enough hints in the flashbacks that Geralt and Yennefer had several run-ins before. Jaskier was great as always, and the banter up the mountain was so fun in general. The part with Ciri, well, if it was all cut off, nothing of value would be lost.

The Witcher Season 1 Review: Episode 6: “Rare Species”
January 3, 2020 - Related: The Witcher Showrunner Responds To Criticism Over Netflix Series' Adaptation · In a more interesting turn of events, we now have a name for the evil Nilfgaard henchman: Cahir. We also have a motivation: Nilfgaard is under the thrall of a cult called The White Flame that wants Ciri to fulfill some vague prophecy. He ends the episode by speaking with villainous sorcerer Fringilla – who took Yen’s place in Nilfgaard all those years ago – and making menacing faces at the camera.

July 27, 2023 - You just have to love 12yo Ciri fighting grown man with sword and saying "he is mine". Oh yes. Another lovely thing is that in 6th episode we finally saw Geralt fight. It was two times in total this season in 20 seconds scenes. You would wonder if its Vampire Diaries or The Witcher a guy created to fight monsters.

The Witcher Season 1 Episode 6 Review | Phenixx Gaming
January 5, 2023 - A big reason that this episode was a standout for me, was how they balanced pushing the overarching narrative with Ciri forward while building on the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer. the relationship was introduced last week with the djinn and in this episode, we learned what Geralt’s final wish was. Ciri was a standout for me, as we finally get more then 10 minutes of screen time with her evading the Nilfgaardian Army. Seeing how Ciri starts out as naive and trusting anyone at first without a second thought, then seeing her grow to eventually outsmart her enemies was a great treat even if things felt a little rushed, which seems to be a common complaint about the show. The Witcher spans at least 30 years and in that time so much has happened to our main trio that we never really get any context to these characters.
