oof, you just reminded me - Dandelion in season 3 was... not as good as Season 1/2. Even down to the detail that every time he came on screen, my wife demanded to know what they did with his hair. That, and the strangely unnecessary sex scenes with another male.

ok ok, season 3 wasnt perfect either. but I was "surprised" that the big events at Aretuza and the major events afterward all followed the book rather closely...
