The Witcher Season 3: A Heroic Sendoff for Henry Cavill Amidst Uncertain Future
As Netflix braces for the departure of franchise lynchpin Henry Cavill from The Witcher, the streaming giant is relying on its biggest fantasy series to continue pulling in fans without the allure of a huge star. However, the evidence so far has been a mixed bag. While the books and video games have amassed a dedicated following, a recent spin-off series, The Witcher: Blood Origin, received a lukewarm 13 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, hinting at potential waning interest among TV fans of the franchise. With Liam Hemsworth set to step into the shoes of the grouchy monster-hunter Geralt Of Rivia, the question remains: will The Witcher's loyal followers stay committed en masse?

Best Nerd Experiences
Obviously a weekend known for amazing nerd experiences was in fact full of amazing nerd experiences and as this was my first SDCC I had a lot of emotional and fulfilling experiences. Though I have thoroughly recapped my time at San Diego Comic Con I wanted to share what some of my favorite moments from the weekend were.

SDCC Recap
SDCC was filled with lots of announcements which of course everyone who wasn’t there has heard about by now. But hearing it from the people actually granting us more nerd content was a truly wonderful experience. Plenty of things social media has already jumped on but I want no nerd left behind! So I just wanted to recap what I thought were the most important announcements from SDCC to make sure that all of my fellow nerds are caught up. From Felicia Day to Invincible we have a lot to talk about.

SDCC Recap
Sunday, our last day of comic con was the slowest day of the weekend (which was a good thing because I was absolutely exhausted from the rest of the weekend) but it was also an amazing ending to an amazing weekend. We got to spend more time in the exhibit hall and we got to experience some more amazing fan experiences.
