Been waitin' 2hrs for my first CRUMB of food for the day to reach me and brother at this point even if Big Boss himself turned up with the bag at my door and hit me with a 'Kept you waiting huh' drenched in all the rugged charm in the world and i'd tear him to shreds with my bare hands and eat him instead

[tl2so4]

This is an awesome account of the events that happened that day. It is written by Jeffery - the guy in the fur hat in the front row. Enjoy!

June, 1967

Through SF State College, which I am going to a few years out of the Navy using my GI Bill benefits, I get a summer job through school that has a hundred dollar a month expenses. I go down to the Psychedelic Shop on Haight Street, where a lot of community activities come from and offer them the money. Ron Thelin, who runs the store with his brother Jay, says yes, they can use the money to rent a flatbed truck (for a stage) and a generator (for the guitars) as there is a free concert in the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park on that coming Sunday, June 25, 1967 and asks me to show up for the meeting around 10am Sunday morning.

I wake up that morning in my 75 dollar a month houseboat at Gate 5, Main dock, make a cup of coffee and toast, jump into my car, then leave and drive up the Waldo Grade, go through the tunnel and blast out into brilliant sunlight, wondering now and then, who is going to be performing at this free concert as Jay had never said who it might be.

I glide over that gorgeous Golden Gate bridge, then take the 19th Avenue exit and wend my way to Fulton and finally park in front of the shop on Haight and go in.

There are 4 or 5 guys who are really putting this show together and the work has mostly been taken care of. I just stand quietly st the back of the room. Finally, Jay asks if anyone has a car. I leave my hand down but finally tell him that I do.

"Go down to the Travelodge at Fishermen's Wharf", he tells me, matter-of-factly, "knock on door 157 and bring Jimi Hendrix back to the site, parking on Fell near Ashbury".

I nod to him like I do this stuff every day, jump in my beat-up '59 Studebaker ragtop, pull out and head over. On the way, I think back to last week's Monterey Pop Festival, where a simple twist of fate played out big for me.

The morning of Monterey, my wife ran off with my last roommate in college. About a half hour later, sitting on the edge of the bed dejectedly, there is a knock on the door and my neighbor, Dan Hicks, wants to know if I want to make 20 bucks as he needs help humping music amps and guitars to the Festival. Twenty minutes later, we cross the Golden Gate Bridge and make our way to the Monterey Fairgrounds.

While humping a large amp, Dan on one end and me on the other, I notice something shiny on the ground and squat quickly down and stuff it into my jeans and proceed. We get all the equipment in and I get my 20 bucks and am now outside the gate. Don't know exactly what to do, but after pulling out the shiny object, it turns out to be a simple pin-back with a card that says BACKSTAGE PASS on it.

Things are looking up. The only SLIGHTLY bad thing is it also has someone else's name written on it as well. But, hell, what can they do to me and I am never averse to taking risks, so I pin it on and walk up to the hefty guard at the gate, who sees I have THE PASS and I am in!

I saw a lot of music that weekend, but Otis Redding's scintillating set on Saturday night, even sharing a joint with David Crosby, was a real peak event I have never forgotten. What a professional set he laid down. The best.

Then, Sunday, when I hear Jimi is about to perform, I go out in the left side of the stage and stand behind a curtain that is all there is between me and him and he totally blows us all away, then picks up a can of Ronson lighter fluid while he is down on his knees making love to his guitar during Wild Thing and his guitar is now flaming and then he breaks up that guitar and lobs pieces of it to audience members and leaves the stage.

Wow; Monterey Pop. But that was last week and now I am in the parking lot and I go up to the door and knock and, like in a dream, there is Jimi, who just picks up his guitar and gets in the back seat of my garbage car and off we go. Just being around him a few minutes and you know he is basically a shy cat and the only thing he mentions is how much he digs my Russian fur hat which is only a woman's fur piece I got at the Digger's Free Store on Cole St. just off Haight a few weeks back and made into a hat. I try to give it to him but he declines saying it wouldn't fit over his hair and I am very happy as it looks so good on me.

We pull up, he gets out and wanders over to the stage while I roll up a quick joint and take five fast puffs, laughing as I can't see anything in my smoky car. I don't want to miss a beat, but decide that since I drove him there, I am going to get up close and observe. As you can see, I kind of got the best seat in the house even if I am standing, Notice I am holding his microphone cable. And smiling big. Why not? Ringside with the most amazing guitar player. Ever. I don't even notice Jim Marshall, SF's iconic rock photographer, snapping photos.

This was on Sunday, June 25, 1967 and I went on with my life which took me to Woodstock and driving a big Hog Farm hippie bus for a few years across America and then I got to Europe and hired on as a driver for a British hippie bus taking 25 paying passengers (75 dollars one-way) from Amsterdam to Afghanistan and spent five years doing that including the beaches of Goa, India and trekking in the Himalayas of Nepal and I was pretty busy and never once told that Jimi story to anyone at any time. It was just this serendipitous, precious moment in my life.

But then, I went over to my friend Wrinkle's one day in 1988 but he was out, so I was sitting with his then 18 year old son Austin and thinking of having a conversation and he was the drummer in a garage band, so out comes that story of Jimi and me. Of course, he didn't believe me but was too kind to say so. I went home afterwards and a few days later, I get a call from his dad and he says "Hey, I am looking at a picture of you and Jimi Hendrix. Now it's my turn to not believe him, but I go over and...

So Austin has this pal Jameson Grant and Jameson's parents went to live in Iowa for a couple of years, his junior and senior year in high school. One day, he is thumbing through a guitar magazine and there is a full page photo of Jimi Hendrix and me, but he doesn't know me then, but he really likes this picture and asks his pal if he can have it and his friend says buy me a hamburger and it's yours! But, when he goes back to California, he takes it with him and one day his friend Austin comes over and tells him the tall tail he thinks I told him and Jameson says Well, I have a picture of Jimi Hendrix in San Francisco in my suitcase and shows it to Austin who freaks out saying I thought Jeff was BSing me but THAT'S HIM. Jim Marshall took the photo and I now have seen it in a Rolling Stone and seen it many other places, showing Jimi Hendrix and me, smack dab in the middle of the Summer of Love and it doesn't get much better than that."

Found Footage

Read on AO3 here.

“5021 George. 10-1 at 2650 W Fulton Street. Officer down, need an ambulance and CFD.”

Hailey looks up in shock as she hears her husband’s voice over the radio set up in the bullpen.

What the hell?

Intelligence scrambles down to their cars, racing to Fulton Street.

An ambulance is already on scene, the paramedics working on the young patrol officer.

The patrol car had been forced off the road, resting in a shallow ravine.

Hailey jogs over to the ambulance, greeting the paramedics.

“How is he?” she asks.

“He hit his head pretty hard in the crash.” the medic tells her. “It’s a good thing we got here when we did. He needs to get to Med.”

“Where’s Detective Halstead?”

“Officer Tanika was the only one on scene when we arrived.” she’s told. “We have to go.”

Hailey stares after them in shock as they load the stretcher into the ambulance and pull away.

Then where is Jay?

She turns to look for Voight and sees him talking to Deputy Superintendent Austin. What is he doing here?

As she gets closer, she can hear parts of the conversation.

“This doesn’t look good, Hank.” Austin is saying. “We don’t have dash cam, there’s no traffic cameras in the area and the only witness who might have been able to vouch for Halstead is unconscious.”

“Nobody in Intelligence knew you were going to arrest Halstead until you walked into the bullpen.” Voight argues. “That doesn’t leave any time for him to have set up a jailbreak.”

“So maybe it was you who arranged this.” Austin says. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Hailey jumps in, cutting Voight off before he can escalate this. “We need to track down whoever was behind this and find Jay. We can sort out if this was a rescue or a kidnapping later.”

“I can’t let your team investigate this.” Austin says, shaking his head. “You’re too close.”

They might actually find Jay.

Hailey quashes the cynical thoughts for the moment.

Austin walks away and she turns to Voight.

“He’s involved.” she says quietly and he nods.

“We just have to prove it.” he says.

“And find Jay.” Hailey adds. “They can’t afford to give him a chance to tell his side of the story.”

He may already be dead.

It isn’t as hard as they might have expected to link Austin to Jay’s kidnapping.

Because that’s exactly what it was, despite the doubts that Austin had stirred up through the department.

Intelligence had located a vehicle nearby the site of the crash on security cameras. And the vehicle had come back to the CPD auction lot, signed out by none other than the Deputy Superintendent himself.

Once they’d shared that information with the Superintendent, it had been all too easy to get full access to Austin’s office and electronics.

“I’ve got a flash drive.” Kim announces, holding it up where she’s searching the desk.

Adam reaches for it, plugging it into his laptop.

“Two video files.” he says, opening the first one. “Hey, lookie here, the missing dash cam footage.”

Jay’s voice fills the room.

“Tanika? Hey, come on, talk to me. Are you okay up there?”

Moments later, the kidnappers arrive, telling a confused and resistant Jay that he’s coming with them.

And then gold hits.

“If you let me radio for an ambulance for him I won’t fight you.” Jay says. “I’ll come quietly.”

“He willingly went with them to protect Tanika.” Hailey says, shaking her head with a fond smile.

“Well now we’re going to find him, get him back.” Voight says. “I’m going to go have a chat with Austin.”

“Hang on boss.” Adam says. “Second file is… oh shit.”

Voight storms into the unfamiliar interrogation room, throwing the laptop on the table in front of Austin and hitting play.

Jay grunts as a fist slams into his face, throwing him forcefully onto his back. A kick to the stomach follows and then three separate men are standing over him, their booted feet slamming repeatedly into whatever part of Jay they can reach as he curls up, trying to protect himself.

Voight pauses the video.

“You couldn’t help yourself, could you?” he snaps. “It wasn’t enough to arrange for him to be kidnapped and beaten, you wanted to see it for yourself.”

“I don’t know what you think this proves.” Austin says. “They sent me that video demanding a ransom.”

“And you didn’t notify anyone?”

“I hadn’t had a chance.”

“They send you the dash cam footage you claimed didn’t exist too?”

“Yes.”

“Only that footage starts before the kidnappers got to the car and extends until after the paramedics arrived.” Voight says. “They never touched the camera system.”

There’s a knock on the door and Adam sticks his head in.

“Phone records.” he says, handing them over to Voight. “There’s one number in particular that catches my attention. He calls them just after the patrol car drove away from the station with Jay in the backseat. They called him just after Jay’s radio call went out. Burner phone.”

“You really thought we weren’t going to look into this, didn’t you?” Voight asks the man, shaking his head. “Or that you could handicap us enough to keep us from getting anywhere.”

Austin doesn’t say anything, seeming to realize that he’s not getting out of this.

“Where is Halstead?” Voight demands.

“I don’t know.” he says. “I told them not to tell me those kinds of details.”

“Then I want a name.” Voight says. “Who did you pay to do this?”

“His name is Jerry Watkins.” he says, looking down. “He was a CI when I worked in organized crime.”

“Do you know names of anyone else who was involved?”

“He said he would take care of it. I didn’t ask questions.”

“Hey boss?” Adam says, still looking through the records. “He’s been exchanging calls with that burner phone for a couple days. Even before Jennings was killed.”

“This wasn’t an opportunist grab was it?” Voight asks. “This whole mess has been you, right from the beginning.”

“Someone needed to shine some light on the way your unit steps outside the lines whenever it benefits you.” Austin says. “Even if it meant crossing a few lines myself.”

“All we’ve got here is you arranging to have a gang banger murdered.” Voight says, leaning forward. “You arranging to have a Chicago Police Detective kidnapped and an officer put in the hospital. You covering up evidence. My unit has handled this by the book.”

Austin just makes a face and shakes his head.

“I don’t have time for this.” Voight says, shaking his head. “I have to go find Jay.”

He stands up, following Adam out of the room and meeting up with the rest of his team and the Superintendent in the hallway.

“I will handle Austin.” the Superintendent says. “I’ve already reached out to Internal Affairs and the District Attorney’s office.”

“We’re going to focus on Detective Halstead.” Voight says. “What did we find on this guy, Watkins?”

“Austin was actually telling the truth about him being a CI.” Hailey says. “But he’s been off paper almost ten years. LKA seven years old but worth checking out. Long list of associates to go through.”

“Anything come up on a deed search?”

“Not in his name.” Kim says. “Or linked to any relatives.”

“Next of kin?”

“His mother, Janice, lives in an assisted living facility.” Kevin says.

“Alright.” he says. “Let’s run with it then. Hailey, you and Kev go talk to his mom. Kim and Adam check out the LKA.”

They scatter.

The mom ends up being the key.

The payments for her room at the facility have come not from Watkins but from a friend of his. The friend’s name links them to a vehicle and they are able to track it far enough on plate scanners to find a warehouse.

Where they find Jerry Watkins with a gun pointed at Jay’s head.

Two minutes and a bullet in Watkin’s head later, Hailey is kneeling next to her partner who hasn’t moved.

He groans when she cuts his hands free and rolls him onto his back but his eyes don’t open.

Even when she asks him to open his eyes, all he can do is twitch his fingers but it’s enough. Hailey brushes against his hand, taking hold of it when he doesn’t show any pain.

She does her best to reassure him that’s his safe, that paramedics are coming; tells him that Austin is getting the book thrown at him.

She’s surprised when he starts talking, choking out the name of the patrolman who’d been injured during his abduction.

“Officer Tanika is going to be just fine.” she promises him. “You did good getting him help so quickly. He had a pretty serious concussion.”

He passes out not long after that, just as the paramedics rush up to them.

She’s trying not to panic but it’s hard.

She’d seen the video these guys had sent to Austin. Even less than a minute of the beating that he’d taken has her worried and she knows it had gone on a lot longer than that.

The worry doesn’t even start to lift until nearly four days later when his eyes finally flicker open.

He still can’t talk because of the ventilator or really move but she’ll take just having his blue-green eyes open and staring back at her, his hand tightly squeezing hers.

“Welcome back.” she says, leaning forward to kiss his forehead. “I missed you.”

He just blinks at her.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

She smiles. Everyone always jokes about the way that they can have entire conversations with their eyes and she’s sure they’ll have plenty of those as his lungs continue to heal.

But this is a little more straightforward than that.

“I love you too.”

Jeezy and Jeannie Mai's split after two years of marriage sent shockwaves on Friday as it was revealed the exes are "currently living in a bona fide state of separation."

RadarOnline.com has obtained the new divorce docs filed September 14 at the Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia, in which the rapper seeks joint physical and legal custody of their daughter, Monaco, "on a temporary and permanent basis."

Jeezy (real name: Jay Wayne Jenkins) stated their marriage was "irretrievably broken" and "there is no hope for reconciliation."

He asked the court to handle the final "decision-making" and determine a "specific parenting time schedule" that is consistent with "the best interests" of their child.

The exes welcomed their daughter in January 2022 following their March 2021 nuptials. In addition to the child he shares with Mai, Jeezy is the father of three children from prior relationships.

The rapper stated their marriage was "irretrievably broken" and "there is no hope for reconciliation."

Jeezy stated that both he and Mai have an obligation to contribute to the "support, maintenance, and education" of their daughter, also noting that "child support should be "determined in accordance with Georgia law."

The Put On hitmaker and television host signed a prenuptial agreement ahead of their wedding, which he wants "enforced" by the court as it would resolve "all financial issues incident to this divorce."

name: Belladonna “Bells” Hazel Delaney

what: Death spirit and witch

age: Appears early 20’s

birthday: July 25

occupation: Black Magic Dealer

location: New York

faceclaim: Haley Lu Richardson

status: Selectively Open to AUs

relationship: Married to Hawk

parents: Avalon and Alexi

siblings: Valencia, Brittia, Jack, Nyla, Blake, Ren, Evelyn, Valerian, Wisteria, Amaranth, Ivy, Hemlock, Camellia, Vervain, Cypress, Nikolai, and Finn (has guardianship of Finn)

kids: Fiero, Malachi, Creedance, Hazel, Jullian, Molly, Jason, Fulton and Marissa, Amber, Byrne, Finn, Micah, Jai, and Darcy

Belladonna is definitely her father’s daughter, there is no doubt about that. But she has her mother’s sarcastic recklessness in spades. It’s a good thing she’s more on the immortal side or it could really get her into trouble.

The first time she really did any kind of magic, she had been a mere child, in kindergarten of all things. Another child had pushed her and Belladonna had punched him the face, hard enough to give him a bloody nose, and then she repeated a spell she had read in one of her dad’s books. The boy ended up in a coma and she was no longer allowed to attend public schools. None of them are exactly sure how she managed to remember that particular one or how she had learned to pronounce the words correctly since Latin wasn’t exactly something she knew all that well at the time.

Much to her mother’s eternal frustration, Bells hasn’t mellowed out at all since growing up. But, every time she’s told that she’s going to be the death of her mother, she just rolls her eyes and laughs because her mother is immortal and too dramatic some days.

Bells is fluent in English, Greek, and Latin, she has a decent grasp of German and Gaelic. She knows a small amount of Spanish and French, but not nearly as much as she probably should.

Despite all of the chaos that comes with her chosen line of work, Bells is very devoted to her husband and kids. She also has a habit of just adopting grown ass adults and bringing them home with her when it suits her.

Her favorite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival and her favorite place is Waffle House.

La troisième saison de The Witcher marque un tournant décisif dans la série – et pas seulement parce que ce sera la dernière d'Henry Cavill en tant que Geralt de Riv. Le cinquième épisode, "L'art de l'illusion", révèle l'identité du mage voyou qui a embauché Rience (Chris Fulton) pour chasser Ciri (Freya Allan) et met en place un bouleversement politique qui réinitialise le conseil d'administration dans la guerre de brassage entre les Nord et Nilfgaard. [Ed. note: The following contains spoilers for The Witcher season 3 and Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels.] Dans la finale de la partie 1, Geralt et Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) se rendent au conclave dans le but de prouver la culpabilité de Stregobor (Lars Mikkelsen), seulement pour découvrir la véritable identité du mage traître est Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu). Il a embauché Rience par l'intermédiaire de sa petite amie secrète et mandataire, Lydia van Bredevoort ( Aisha Fabienne Ross ). Bien que Tissaia (MyAnna Buring) semble ignorer à la fois les mauvaises intentions et l'amant secret de Vilgefortz, le double timing du mage est ce qui l'a fait : Geralt et Yennefer ont mis la dernière pièce en place après avoir remarqué les bijoux assortis de Lydia et Tissaia. Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu) dans The Witcher Photo : Jay Maidment/Netflix Les implications du fait que Vilgefortz soit le maître de Rience sont considérables, car ils recolorent considérablement les événements passés et façonnent où ira l'émission Netflix lorsque la saison 3 reviendra le 27 juillet. Alors décomposons où se trouve la véritable allégeance de Vilgefortz, ce qu'il veut avec Ciri, et la façon dont cela se révèle différemment – ​​et tellement mieux – dans les livres. Vilgefortz travaille-t-il pour Nilfgaard ? Techniquement, Vilgefortz ne travaille pas pour Nilfgaard, il travaille avec Nilfgaard. Après que Rience ait compris qu'il chassait Ciri pour la Flamme Blanche (Bart Edwards), il a confronté Lydia, qui a fourni cette clarification. Bien que cela puisse sembler sémantique, il existe une énorme différence entre être un partenaire et un serviteur de Nilfgaard. Et savoir que Vilgefortz n'est pas seulement un autre loyaliste nilfgaardien comme Cahir (Eamon Farren) mais qu'il maintient son propre programme jette beaucoup de lumière sur ses actions passées. Avec le recul, tout le travail de Vilgefortz pour apparemment renforcer la Confrérie était en réalité des étapes pour la saper et renforcer son pouvoir personnel. Dans la saison 1, Vilgefortz était un fervent partisan d'aider Cintra dans la guerre contre Nilfgaard et a mené les mages au combat malgré le manque de soutien de la Confrérie. Mais pendant la bataille de Sodden, il est tombé sur un membre blessé de la Confrérie et l'a brutalement tué avec une masse – un moment qui avait auparavant déconcerté les téléspectateurs. Tissaia (MyAnna Buring), Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) et Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu) dans The Witcher Photo : Katalin Vermes/Netflix Bien que Yennefer ait réussi à empêcher Nilfgaard de prendre le contrôle à la fin, il est probable que le véritable objectif de Vilgefortz à Sodden n'était pas du tout la victoire, mais de tirer parti de la bataille pour l'influence politique – et de décimer les mages qui étaient prêts à se dresser contre lui. Dans le processus. Après Sodden, Vilgefortz s'est attribué le mérite de la victoire qui appartenait de droit à Yen et a utilisé cette bonne volonté pour acquérir une position de pouvoir au sein de la Confrérie. Cette saison, Vilgefortz a une fois de plus utilisé son soutien public à la Confrérie comme masque pour cacher ses agissements sournois, profitant du conclave pour piéger Stregobor et tenter de recruter Geralt à ses côtés. Dans les livres, Vilgefortz entre dans son partenariat avec Emhyr en vertu de l'accord selon lequel si Vilgefortz donne Ciri à Nilfgaard, il dirigera les provinces qui remplaceraient les royaumes du Nord. Cependant, comme le pauvre Tissaia l'a appris à ses dépens, Vilgefortz est un homme prêt à utiliser et à trahir n'importe qui si cela le sert.

Ainsi, jusqu'où ira finalement le partenariat entre Vilgefortz et la Flamme Blanche dépendra de la durée d'alignement de leurs objectifs individuels. Et en parlant d'objectifs... Que veut Vilgefortz avec Ciri ? Rien de bon, c'est évident. Bien que nous sachions qu'Emhyr veut épouser Ciri – sa fille, remarquez – et en faire sa reine, Vilgefortz a un objectif encore plus horrible en tête. L'épisode 2 a exposé les expériences tordues de Vilgefortz tentant de transformer les novices d'Aretuza en imposteurs Ciri (bien que la plupart se soient plutôt transformés en monstres de chair). Geralt a émis l'hypothèse que ces expériences devaient trouver un moyen de contrôler l'esprit de Ciri - quelque chose qui s'avérerait bénéfique pour la garder captive si Nilfgaard la mettait en contact. Mais il existe sûrement des moyens plus simples de le faire. En fait, le faux scénario de Ciri dans les livres ne se souciait pas du tout de la magie. Ils ont juste trouvé une paysanne malchanceuse avec une forte ressemblance avec la princesse et l'ont mise sur le trône nilfgaardien pendant que la chasse au vrai Ciri se poursuivait. Ciri (Freya Allan) dans The WitcherPhoto : Susie Allnutt/Netflix Dans les romans, les expériences de Vilgefortz n'ont rien à voir avec le contrôle de l'esprit ou le fait de faire croire aux filles qu'elles sont Ciri. Ils se concentrent plutôt sur le lien entre la grossesse et Elder Blood, Vilgefortz imprégnant artificiellement les jeunes filles et les femmes qu'il avait capturées. Il fait tout cela dans le but d'inséminer Ciri, de lui couper le placenta et de l'utiliser pour effectuer un rituel qui lui permettrait de voyager entre les sphères. À la manière typique des méchants égocentriques, Vilgefortz prévoit d'utiliser ce pouvoir pour devenir un empereur interdimensionnel, ce qui rend le plan directeur d'Emhyr assez étrange en comparaison. En quoi la révélation de Vilgefortz est-elle différente dans les livres ? La raison pour laquelle Geralt se rend au conclave dans le deuxième roman de Witcher, Le temps du mépris, n'a rien à voir avec la traque du maître de Rience, la protection de Ciri, ou quoi que ce soit d'enjeu ou de substance; il est juste là pour être le bonbon au bras de Yennefer. En tant que tel, le conclave ne sert aucune accumulation sur le nez vers la révélation de Vilgefortz – alors que la série peint presque "BAD GUY !!!" sur le front de Vilgefortz en peinture rouge avant que Geralt et Yennefer ne le découvrent enfin. Dans les livres, Geralt en quelque sorte… trébuche dans la connaissance. Après avoir passé tout l'événement à éviter toute implication dans la guerre de brassage entre le Nord et Nilfgaard, Geralt et Yennefer se retirent pour la soirée. Au milieu de la nuit, Geralt se réveille avec le besoin de se soulager. Il décide qu'il a plus de scrupules que de pisser sur le balcon comme une brute, alors il décide de descendre dans le jardin pour pisser directement sur les fleurs, comme un gentleman. En cours de route, il se trouve que Geralt entre dans une confrontation continue entre deux sectes de mages – ceux fidèles au Nord, dirigés par Philippa (Cassie Clare), et ceux fidèles à Nilfgaard, dirigés par Vilgefortz. En fait, Geralt n'apprend que Vilgefortz est le chef des mages traîtres lorsqu'il en entend une mention fortuite pendant la mêlée déroutante. Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu) dans The WitcherPhoto : Katalin Vermes/Netflix Geralt marchant accidentellement au milieu d'un coup d'État en revenant d'utiliser la salle de bain n'est pas seulement tellement plus drôle que la façon dont ils ont géré cela dans la série, mais c'est aussi beaucoup plus Geralt. Toute l'affaire de cet homme souhaite rester en dehors du drame, mais il continue d'y intervenir. Et encore une fois, le coût de sa neutralité s'avère assez élevé, car la Confrérie ne survit pas au coup d'État de Thanedd. En changeant la façon dont Geralt apprend que Vilgefortz travaille avec Nilfgaard, le spectacle remplace non seulement un chemin unique

vers la découverte par un chemin prévisible, mais supprime le meilleur élément de caractère de ce moment culminant.
