THE TITULAR WARRIOR IN THE WITCHER – GERALT OF RIVIA (Henry Cavill), dubbed the White Wolf due to his pale complexion and hair colour – was created to hunt and kill monsters. His priorities, however, shifted after he unknowingly invoked the Law of Surprise and, consequently, became bound to the unborn child Ciri (Freya Allan) and her destiny. Only recently reuniting with Ciri, Geralt has served as her mentor, father figure and friend. But Ciri’s future remains complicated.
Although she’s trained to be a Witcher, she has emerged as one of the most powerful beings on the Continent, putting a target on her back. Going into The Witcher’s third season, warring factions will stop at nothing to control the supernatural forces she possesses. “Ciri wants to be able to harness her magic,” Allan tells SFX. “She wants to be able to use it for good in the future rather than use it to destroy things. Also, she’s scared of it, so she doesn’t want to be afraid of it any more. Ciri wants to do well, but she’s beginning to get frustrated. She feels like she hasn’t made the progress she wants to have made.”
YENNEFER
Season three – which tackles Andrzej Sapkowski’s novel Time Of Contempt – opens a year after season two’s finale as Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) shuffle from place to place, attempting to establish a home and remain under everyone’s radar.
This family unit, however, still feels the sting of Yennefer’s betrayal. Tapping into forbidden fire magic during the Battle of Sodden Hill left Yennefer powerless. As a result, the desperate sorceress almost sold Ciri to the demon Voleth Meir in exchange for restoring her magic.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
