* PlayingAgainstType: [[Film/BoysDontCry2000 Michał Milowicz]] plays [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Crach an]] [[HornyVikings Craite]]. While he does portray the character with his typical fare of big-mouthed [[TheDandy dandy]], it is still a role of a badass fantasy Viking, so he goes for an axe and prepares to slay the beast when the feast he was so far too busy with turns ugly. To make it weirder, he was cast ''before'' he received his "type" as effeminate dandy, but the film and especially the series were released by the time he was firmly ''in'' a very tight typecast and with ''even stronger'' [[IAmNotSpock role-association]].

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Then pre-production for the series started, Sapkowski was offered to simply pen the script himself or at least work with Szczerbic (who was attached to the project from the start). He refused on a very simple grounds: when he was approached about it, he just finished writing ''Literature/BaptismOfFire'' and was on a tight schedule to finish rest of the saga, with remaining two books ahead of him. And before he even finished the saga (''Literature/LadyOfTheLake'' came out in 1999), his relationship with the production execs went completely sour. Should the pre-production simply started later (filming didn't begin until July 2000), there is a good chance Sapkowski would get directly involved into creating the series, at the very least removing all the issues created by WritingAroundTrademarks.

** Pre-production started in early 1996. Filming didn't being until mid-July 2000, over four years later, and already started with a one-month delay, forcing a hectic pace with all the outdoor scenes set during summer. And while there was a genuine requirement for long filming plan due to changing seasons and especially need for winter shots, it still dragged almost two months past the planned end, with filming wrapped up mid-March 2001, rather than final week of January same year.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: For years, there was no official home media release or even access to the series. You either saw any of the re-runs, or someone's bootleg recording of those. It wasn't until mid-2010s when the series became accessible as video-on-demand from Polish public TV, TVP, but there is ''still'' no actual release of the series. This reached the point where a version on VCD was being sold by some offshore company in late 00s, but that still was an illegal copy made from a bootleg.
