Love how you just walked away from the Harfoot discussion. Hopefully they are minimized.
Maybe they got lost and then got eaten by Shelob.🕷️
@@Enerdhil 🤞
I'm still hoping that the Istari is Saruman and we gradually see why he began to despise Hobbits
Gentle reminder that he and Gandalf both have been keeping tabs on the Shire
Yes, I laughed out loud at Matt's sudden narrative halt.
The Harfoots remind me of the trolls from Frozen.
Lmao I laughed so hard with the harfoot bit
Same 😂🤣
“And the final picture we have from the Empire article is of Nori the Harfoot.
*Pause*
But what do you all think about…”
Thank you for spending the correct amount of time discussing that character.
"correct amount of time discussing that entire race."
(No racism intended though, they are just a sh*tty race... ok, I think I can't make it sound right)
😂😂😂😂😂
@@johngerardi6270 Nori and Poppy are good characters.
@@Ragar-ey5bl I liked the harfoot story more than anything else in the show but maybe thats because the rest of the show was bad enough to make the harfoot-part likeable in comparison
The pause is what killed me! Definitely intentional. So funny.
The timing of that little pause after "Nori the Harfoot" 😂 Perfect.
immediately ran to the comments to see if anyone noticed...was not disappointed!!
When?
Best I can say is *fingers crossed*...
Michael Scott: “No doubt about it, I am ready to get hurt again.”
“Isildur is kinda behind schedule on the offspring department” 😂
I remember a line Tom Bombadil says when he's raking over the Barrow's treasures under the sun, something like "Fair was she who long ago wore this on her shoulder". It's never mentioned in the films, of course, so it's a blurry old memory now, but it was so brief and so wistfully sad that it stuck with me for 40-odd years. I think it was a brooch, and Bombadil took it to give to Goldberry.
If the series can do a 180° that would be very impressive. Based on what we saw in S01, I'm not hopeful, but I will give it a chance.
That Galadriel knows she messed up supports my theory that they were trying for an arrogance to humility internal story arc with her. Not saying they pulled it off, but they tried. Season 2 will be very interesting from that perspective.
Exactly 👍🏼
I hated that people were so quick to say her character was ruined, instead of her character growing and changing over seasons and becoming the Galadrial we know and love.
@@superalex126 I actually made a video on her storyline, what I think they did right and where I think they missed the bus. Because I do think they had a purpose with her, the execution just needed work.
@@JustInTimeWorldstrying to turn a static character into a dynamic one is not easy
@@agentspaniel4428 💯 and internal story arcs like that with no power growth is hella hard.
Putting a mustache on halbrand so celembrimbor won’t know it’s him. No one will notice 😂
🥸
@@Enerdhil 🥸 hey celembribor I’m not Sauron can we make more rings. I swear I’m not Sauron 🥸
@@DrewbattleTheGreat
😂🤣😆 You write better lines than Payne and McKay.😂
Just wait and see how it is explained. Celebrimbor doesn't know that Halbrand was Sauron.
It's not hard to imagine that just because we see Halbrand in his similar appearance that celembrimbor might be seeing a different version or person.
The way the Elves look on this show just don't do it for me. However, Charlie's Annatar is a step in the right direction.
I agree with you on the look of the elves. I was very excited when i heard that a Lord of the rings TV show was being made. I heard about the budget it was going to get. I was so happy that Peter Jackson was suppose to be involved. I was expecting a look and feel of those Peter Jackson movies. Also i was happy to see the same tone and style of character writing of his movies in that TV show. Unfortunately when i saw that Jackson was no longer apart of this production. And the showrunners was from bad robot.My hype level went down dramatically. Because all i could see was JJ Abrams and the destruction of Star wars and Star Trek. Being a optimistic i was still willing to give this show a four episode chance. I was let down so bad i stop watching after episode 4. My biggest problem was the elves.The race of the actors playing the elves was never my problem. Elves don't have short hair. Nor do they have punchable faces. In old school star trek. We've seen many different actors of different races play Vulcans. Yet all of the Vulcans looked and feel the same . It did not matter that the actual actor was from a different race. The Vulcans character on those shows looked and feel like Vulcans. I did not get this on this show. Spock and tovak was two Vulcans from two different star trek shows and timelines. Yet both felt the same. We knew that they was from the same species without being told. That really bugged me watching rings of power. I love this channel. It has very good Tolkien content. Hopefully season two will learn from its many mistakes from season one. I will give season two the same four episode chance.
I’ve never felt like anyone has got the elves right
To be fair, Annatar is supposed to be the most beautiful of the Elves as a disguise
@@JohnPeacekeeper I always got that image of him. He was describe as being incredibly stunning in the most beautiful way. There are some men who is so manly that other men are just attracted to his manly energy. This is the way i always seen annatar but in a male elvish way. But this show seems like they did not want to go in that direction. There was nothing stunning about none of the elves in season one. Hopefully they will get annatar right in tone and feel in season two .
Never mind the dwarves...females without beards, black dwarves..etc etc...
"You see those elves from Eregion? They got curved swords. Curved. Swords."
Look, the show is far from perfect. But the fact more people are getting exposed to lotr, and we get to see people make art inspired by the books i love is enough for me to watch it. Even if they might take too many liberties imo. I understand why people dont like it, but they should be able to respect those that do. And vice versa.
@Enerdhil agreed, and it doesn't need to turn into a argument on the internet spreading divisions in the fan base. God knows enough other fanbases are divided.
You can try to watch Season 1. You can quit anytime you want to.😁👍🏻
@@logan3093
Yes. Actually, I do not like the series, but I think everyone has a right to their own opinion. I find that I can have rational discussions with fans of the series. Often I disagree with them, but I totally understand where they are coming from.
@Enerdhil I can really respect that. I went into season one, was let down, but my sister who was just getting into middle earth really enjoyed the show, and she has read the hobbit, for context she never reads, and she's only 9. Why my parents let a 9 year old watch rings of power, idk. But she likes it, and she's the biggest middle earth fan that I know knows all the valar by name, can name most characters from the silmarillion, I can't do that. I doubt she would've gone on her middle earth journey if not for her stumbling across the show. Regardless of its quality in my own opinion.
@Enerdhil also, sorry to ramble lmao.
9:42 - Sharp enough to puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battleship, leaving thousands to drown at sea? Wait, wrong univers-
"uh...I gotta go"
The charity of your analysis -- pointing out the good without flattery, and pointing out the bad without hatred -- is exactly what Tolkien would have wanted. Well done.
I had a comment but a firework just hit my house and I forgot what I was going to say
the armor for Elrond is gorgeous, the helmet looks a bit off though (looks too big for him) lol
edit: lol i typed this about 2 min before you said the exact same thing hahahah great minds think alike
Gotta disagree here. Most of the other helmets are comically small. The helmet of Elendil for instance would be a dreadful experience in battle, as it clearly leaves almost no room for padding.
Not to mention the constant expose-your-neck thing that this show does…
Been a Tolkien fan since I read the Hobbit in the 5th grade way back in 1995... and I like the show. Do I love it? No. Can I enjoy it and allow it to stir my passion for the Legendarium? Yes!
I'm gonna sit here like Stryder at The Prancing Pony and watch this all go down.
Nori the “harfoot”… long pause…. DYING 😂😂😂😂😂
I wanted to say thank you for being critical without devolving into a tantrum. The majority of the internet would do well to take that particular page out of your book. I really enjoyed S1 (including the Harfoots, but the end of the vid still got a chuckle from me), and while I don't think it was perfect that doesn't make me any less excited for S2. Hopefully it can keep the good parts of S1 while bringing in things that a larger part of the fan base will enjoy. 🤞🏻
Barrow Wights, when they didn't exist, oh how surprising 🙄
I'm still upset we don't have the long-haired elves Elrond and Celebrimbor, but if we understand that the third age is like an apocalypse of Middle Earth, it makes more sense that they would have longer hair than in the First Age.
Don't have high hopes, but really appreciate your positivity. You never know.
Season 2 is shaping up to be great! The teaser was better than I expected and the promo images we've been getting have been stellar imo
This is the Tolkien channel that was always doing positive spin. It paid off in all the new subscribers.
@deanzaZZR Doesn’t make sense everyone knows toxic rage bait gets more views. If you leaned into that you would get way more subscribers
@@tevildo45 There was too much competition for the rage bait audience to make a lot of money out of it. Some people actually enjoyed season one, amazing but true.
I disagree with you on Sauron on season one. I think he was being manipulative from the get go. He was playing Galadriel and the others the whole time.
I agree with this. People pretend to be repentant as a form of manipulation all the time.
So question how did he manipulate her when he was being honest from the get go? He told her that he wasn’t the king and found the symbol on a dead man which was true, he told her that he didn’t want to go back to middle earth and she basically forced him. He basically told her hey I’m not who you think I am or what you want me to be but she didn’t listen…
@@DarkSide_Gaming21338 you don't manipulate just with lies and deceit. You exploit your victim's weakness and he apparently knows what makes Galadriel tick.
@@PseudoNym100 that’s true but the issue is we don’t see it we see her trying to say hey you need to come with me and take your place as king of the south lands (even though he told her that he wasn’t the king). He made it clear that he didn’t want to go and he made that known many times. If anything I’d say she manipulated him but not taking no for an answer and guilt tripping him into going. Otherwise he just kinda did his own thing on Numenor and didn’t show any intention or want to go back to middle earth.
@@DarkSide_Gaming21338 some of the greatest manipulations are when you get to have the other person do what you want when they think it's under their own volition. He knows Galadriel will keep pushing him to do the things she already encouraged him to do. So he can easily say I don't want that, I don't want that, and then he goes with her and all the time she's thinking it's because she pushed him and not because it was his plan all along.
You say he didn't want to leave numenor but why did he pick those flights and steal that Smithy crest? He knows he'd get caught. And in the fights his pride showed through via his brutality.
Sauron really is a master of manipulation and the writers did a good job with that part by having it be so subtle instead of overt.
I’ve been saying from the beginning that Galadriel was clearly going to go on a redemption arc. It makes sense to see her BECOME the very wise elf we know her as later on. If she was already all wise and perfect from the beginning that would be boring. The showrunners have this planned out for 5 seasons. I’m sure they’ve planned out these arcs.
Of course that's what they want to do, but they're bad at it. The only thing that's happened with Galadriel's character in season one is that her rash, self-righteous and standoff-ish nature is *justified* because she was right about Sauron returning. No change, not even a seed for future change. Keep in mind, she's already an ENORMOUSLY old and experienced elf, and this series is going to take place over a much shorter time than in book canon.
I love how you give your honest, mature and objective opinion instead of following the current trend of hating everything and nick picking just for the sake of increasing your views. Like what Star Wars Theory used to be before his fall to the dark side.
That's why I follow and respect you. I hope you continue like this for many more years.
I realize a lot of folks dislike the...liberties...taken with the source material thus far, but these images mostly look pretty sweet tbh. Looking forward to s2
Sounds fantastic tbh. Getting into the Annatar-Celebrimbor stuff is everything I've ever wanted.
Bro knew what he was doing with that pause after “nori the harfoot” 😂😂😂
How freaking great is it that so many of us love what Tolkien made from his head tho?It's just amazing, beautiful, and heartbreaking ❤️ Such fantastic channel
Agreed. And I love that nerd of the rings is critical/honest but respectful instead of how vitriolic and over the top angry most TH-camrs are.
One of my fav channels
I wish I didn’t have such high hopes for this show..such a disappointment 😢
The casting for all the elves kinda sucks, or maybe the directing?
All the elves feel like they're small, rather than the greatest of the greats. All of the main elves I think should feel like they're always front and center to the shot, rather than under or around the shot. Miriel feels more like an elf than any of the elves
Tolkien portrayed the elves as beautiful, epic, powerful, but often melancholic. ROP portrays them as mortal, ugly, and petty. I wonder if they even knew that Elves aren't supposed to die of old age. Who the heck decided to cast Celebrimbor as an older middle-aged guy? Maybe Cirdan would look like that but not Celebrimbor.
I'm so sorry Joseph Mawle is gone. I'll put my chip in that he was my favourite of season 1. Every moment he was on screen was full of tension. He had this quality of there always being more just underneath the surface, and you never knowing when and where he's going to take the scene. I always wanted to know more about Adar.
But, it wouldn't be fair to imply Sam Hazeldine can't do the same! I just don't know anything about his acting, but I'll be interested to see for sure.
Considering how old the troll looks, I think he and Adar were war veteran comrades of sorts during the First Age.
Are trolls immortal..?
@@mokarokas-1727 No. I just presume they age really slowly.
tbh i think the original adar actor was really good, idk why hes not playing adar in s2
I'm already looking forward to your in depth season review once S2 is over!
amazon sh*tting on tolkien season 2
I still don't understand what the point of Helbrand was if they were going to introduce Anatar anyways... It totally killed the mystery of Anatar while adding nothing of value
i agree here. sauron's manipulative and deceit is his calling card. but this makes the elves the answer of "fool me once, shame on you. but fppl me twice, then shame on me."
I am happy we get Annatar on screen for first time.
But "delay" is because Annatar doesn't appear in lotr books. Tolkien Estate was late to wake up and give Rights to it.
@@sauron5666 so the estate relented?
@@dougmphilly they don't sell rights for anything than lotr and hobbit but Amazon got small bits like: using Annatar name, passages about Blue wizards and some 1st Age references to Morgoth and Ungoliant. I bet they wanted even more money for it.
Remeber every comes and go around the money.
@@sauron5666I think they can use blue wizards because they are mentioned in the books.
Would they give the Rings to Durin and ask him to give them to his people. He later then gives them to different Dwarf houses?
Possibly, though they may just be simplifying the Dwarven Lore to fit the accelerated timeline.
Maybe there’s a gathering of Dwarves on Kazad Dum
Gotta say I hope they make the scene for the Fall of Nùmenor super long like 20+ minutes. So the episode begins with them landing in Valinor and then ends with Elendil and his sons seeing and feeling the affects of the catastrophe. I was reading it in the Fall of Nùmenor book and it deserves an entire episode just because of how vast it is with the changing of the world and Sauron and how basically everyone experiences the devastation of it. That would be arguably the most vital episode to character arcs.
Charles Edwards is a great actor! im glad he's showing that off in the show
I suppose lots of people have noticed this - the Stranger looks based on Catweazle. Now that he can talk, I’d like him to say ‘May hap’ just once
That’s just like the undead
dragon prest of Skyrim
So Mila Jovovich is Shelob in The Shadow of Mordor. Got it.
I just wish Celebrimbor looked young, nothing wrong with Charles acting, it is just the age.
I will shear for Bob and hopes he will survive the season 😂
Hi Matt, some insight into the sea-shells around Tar Palantir's tomb: these have an old (even pre-medieval) origin that Tolkien would have know of (though he doesn't use it in his work) and the show-runners may have known of: they were often ritually placed in and on tombs of loved ones by Ancient Greeks, Romans and early christians as signs of eternal life and its cyclical nature (symbolised by helicoidal spiral of the land snail shells) but also of something left behind after death (with the sea-snail's mother of pearl symbolising the perfection of the soul which remains after the body's decay). This custom was especially present in the Mediterranean. I can't really see on the image too well, but if these are Murex shells they also symbolise prestige and wealth as they produced the tyrian purple which became part of royal and imperial privilege in regards to clothing (the reason why purple remains the colour most associated with royalty and magic btw).
Some are saying the wizard could be saruman because he has some conflict with good and evil and is heading to rhun which is where he had spent some time
How is a troll able to eat a dragon? Why must everyone be like a Breaking bad character?
Bones. Dragon bones. He found a dragon bone and munched a bit on it, probably.
@@mokarokas-1727“The bony bone from its owner??” :P
Charles Edwards was very memorable in The Terror(even though he was given such an insignificant end). I was glad to see they cast him in this role, and, having played Shadows of Mordor, I feel his portrayal is a more accurate representation of what Celebrimbor would look like.
The Terror is fantastic!! And I agree, he nailed his role in that show
Honestly, i can't wait for this show to begin. Thanks for the Update @Nerd of the Rings. I really love the way they are really sticking to the story Arc in the Books, with slight Deviations.I really love J.R.R, Tolkien Works. The man's imagination is really and Inspiration to me.
headcanoning that the troll's nipple piercing is a troll cultural symbol of something. because trolls are trolls but i love making up lore for things
Curved blades works really well visually for the elves, and there had to be a transition if they intend to match PJ's movies. However, I really enjoy the more early medieval English aesthetic of Tolkien's legendarium, and I really want to see elves with axes as described in The Silmarillion. Also - yes! The sizing of Elrond's armor was something I instantly noticed personally! Hopefully it looks better fitted from other angles.
@@JesterfaceBassplayer hey, axes can be curved, too! 😆 I wanna see it, likewise.
I think Season 2 will have a lot more of what people were expecting from season 1. I must be one of the few who is interested in what happens with Nori and the Harfoots I guess.
so far I find it more fun to speculate about the show than watching it, hopefully that changes for this season
I don't like how season 1 ended. I think it would have been better with Halbrand actually being a good guy, and have Sauron show up at Eregion as Annatar. He would be in his fair form, and the show could have ended with him just entering Eregion, just as Galadriel, Celebrimbor, and Elrond are have a meeting. That would also prolong the elven rings to be made in the series.
I think what they could do about the dwarven rings is that durin will summon the council of dwarves and annatar and celebrimbor will be present(or just annatar) and annatar will present the rings to the dwarves in a gesture of peace from the elves. Also in the book celebrimbors motivation for making more rings is that annatar convinces him that he could make middle earth just as great or even better than valinor.
I cannot wait to see battle Elrond... so far, Elrond is my favorite character
I haven't seen Amazon promoting any of this like they first did. Says a lot.
I heard from another channel that Gandalf had been to middle earth before and that is how Cirdan knew him and knew to give him his ring of power. It was also said the wizards had more power that they wielded during their first visit which is why when they arrived a second time they were supposed to guide the free people and not lead them and their powers were more limited
Oh, the barrow-wights look like me before morning's first coffee.😂
Seriously, Beör used to tell Finrod about "the darkness" back in Eriador, before his people went to Beleriand. Could they be?
@@danielsilva-duarte571 they could certainly be part of it!
Edit: Finrod.
Maybe Khamûl could have something todo with the Barrow-Wights. Since they seemed dressed like the easterlings with their red clothes
We’ll see. Hopefully this show will get better.
Wait I thought the Barrowhites weren't a thing till the Angmar wars in the 3rd age
They weren't. The timeline is screwed up in this series.
I'm also trying not to nitpick. As for Sauron vs Anatar, I am hoping that they mimic Quantum Leap. Each time Scott Bacula looked into a mirror, his appearance was what others saw him as, not what he actually looked like. It is my hope that they do the same thing in the show.
I think that Celembrimbor and anyone in the show won't actually see Anathar as we see him. For us to follow, and be immersed, we still see Halbrand's face. But character in the show would actually only see some illusions, appealing to their beliefs. this would be a nice Sauron trick and display of his actual powers
Fantastic, deep, and balanced review! I felt like you covered everything available as well as the various theories on where the show may take us based on the images provided. I also appreciated how you incorporated the Barrow Wites within the current story, addressing their likely geographical derivation. Finally, despite most of the Tolkien video bloggers hating the show thus far, I appreciated your continued effort to be fair and even teach Calabrimbor a way to enhance the 3 Elven RoP (without actually knowing they were made yet).
you have made me learn about middle earth , but these critiques on the tv shows are mundane if it is a little wrong watch the show like star trek star wars if it entertains no mattter
When do they going to introduced Cirdan the Shipwright?
He's supposed to be in this season. I believe he's been cast.
Speaking of the Annatar storyline…
I know what you mean about not understanding how the “repentant” Sauron could exist if he’s been pulling the strings all along, but I think because he thinks of himself as a hero (he wants to rule like Manwe, perhaps?) this “repentance” would fall in line with his string-pulling, being killed by Adar, and then questioning his whole plan to take over, even though he really wants to. It’s a great added story to him already wanting to repent earlier and then make Middle Earth better in canon.
Regarding the helmet of Elrond - it is ridiculous. All of those slots in the crest are just begging to catch a sword point and with some deft moves by Elrond's opponent - "Snap" goes Elrond's neck.
I really hope the Wights we see are like a test trial of that concept by Sauron and they don’t go to the Barrow Downs with them.
Elronds armour looks great. Its like the armour he wore in the war of the last alliance.
I must be one of only three people on planet earth who doesn't hate the harfoots XD
I mean, I see why people do. But I am enjoying the proto-hobbits a bit. Though I'd prefer an entire separate story.
Hobbits: The Great Migration? A one or two season show about early halflings moving to the shire area would be fun.
I think Annatar's reveal and work with Celebrimbor will all be unveiled as a series of flashbacks, pre Galadriel and Celebrimbor's meeting of Halbrand. Halbrand probably already has the 7 and the 9 in his pouch as they were made previously in his Annatar guise. This would mean the rings were made in canonical order. Moving to the present, Annatar then returns to Eregion after dissapearing for a while while as Halbrand, and after the three Elven rings were created. He would gift the nine and the seven, perform some more manipulation of people and things around him before he is discovered leading the the sacking of Eregion. This would be great and would fix many inconsistencies with parts of the plot.
Also, the barrow wights being in Rhun, where I expect Tom Bombadil to first encounter them. I want Tom Bombadil to give the stranger his blue cloak and hat to reveal him as one of the Blue Wizards.
The way you showed the Harfoot and left a second of silence right after it... You rule them all and in the darkness bind them, dude 😂
Adar also seems to be wielding Sauron’s fully restored sword.
Doesn't Sauron primarily use a mace?
No, that's just his regular sword that he had with him but never really used in season 1
@PseudoNym100 I don't think that was ever described in the books, but I wouldn't put it past him, plus the movies seemed to think so
@@agentspaniel4428 he used a giant mace in the movies though. He might've had a sword but I don't recall a sword being used by Sauron. Morgoth used a mace as well. Like master like apprentice?
"Nori the harfoot" *dramatic pause* was all that needed to be said lol
Troll nipples and harfoot dodges, your deadpan humor is on point. XD
I still think Celebrimbor was miscast. He’s first and foremost a blacksmith, so I think a comparison to Hephaestus was vital. When his body is defiled and hung like a battle flag, it would be more devastating if it was a strong male corpse on display.
Honestly, if you take the fact that it’s lord of the rings out of the equation it’s a solid and entertaining show. But whatever you do…..do not look at this as LOTR 😂 if that makes sense
Sometimes I just sleep away for a moment and in the next I’m confused about what is talked about I just like you voice it makes me tired and calm even it’s not specially beautiful it is to me perfectly
have you not noticed how huge the influence sauron gave to the elven??... since annatar came to the elven, they started imitating his straight long hairstyle as their own trademark!!
Never ever under estimate the dark lord.... you maybe hate him yet you put his image on youself!!
19:50 I think this hot is related to the one we saw of durin's father holding his axe in front of a pile of gold
Basically, I like a lot of these images. Some ideas are interesting as well, with bringing in Annatar (even if that was delayed for no good reason) and such. I'm just not nearly as hyped for this season as I was last time
@@Rauruatreides I think getting non-reading audiences to understand how “good” Sauron was was a good enough reason for the show runners to do the mystery box. 💕
The writing wasn't great, some of the characters were interesting, some not, but it's fun for me just to hear names and see places from Tolkien's world, and also it's the most beautiful looking show I've ever seen, I would watch it just for that.
The lack of light. Isn't it possible Shelob infiltrates Moria? I think I saw somewhere (maybe this channel even) that Shelob will be in season 2.
we need a new middle earth RTS game!
Some what ifs for you:
What if Gandalf escaped Moria with the fellowship
What if boromir survived
I think halbrands/saurons elf look is a flash back! I think Celebrimbor said he thought halbrand looked familier in season 1, some deception going on. If not this sucks lol.
the pic of the new Adar with the blue background looks like mel gibson in brave heart 😂
@@yay-cat honestly, that’s probably what this warrior’s last stand will be like.
If Sauron is a shapeshifter, they should've change the actor or at least make him look completely different in every instance he was a different being. Like Tilda Swinton in Suspiria for example.
They look like gerudo wights! Can't wait to see The Wig of Time in action
I wonder if the Barrow-wights won't actually still be evil spirits and servants of a powerful sorcerer / necromancer...who ends up being the Witch-King when he gets a ring?
I was thinking the other day...I am fairly convinced the black goo is Sauron reforming after Adar 'kills' him...and I wonder if the black goo doesn't end-up on a ship like Dracula on the Demeter...
9:50 the leaf on this shoulder is very similar to the leaf icon on the Elven brooches that galadriel gave frodo and crew in the movies
the disrespect on nori didnt go un noticed LOL
The actor who plays Nori is great and I really don't mind the character at all. Don't beat it down too much just because the Harfoots are unnecessary in the show. I can't wait for season 2.
It's not that they are unnecessary, it's because they are evil.
@@cyclingnerddelux698 It seems that many people did not get that the Harfoots had to leave behind their dead. Members of the tribe who died because of bees, wolves or were killed in a landslide. They were left behind _after_ they had died. That's a completely different matter than Harfoots being banished for endangering the group. And the only one constantly talking about banishment this is Malva.
I also wonder why they didn’t switch actors for Sauron’s transformation. It seems rather strange move
Because Charlie Vickers is Sauron and he was great in S1.
Moyfydd´s Galadrial already looks mellowed in this pictures...I simply love Morfydd´s face expressions. Beautiful, tortured. LOVE IT!
wut
She has two facial expressions in the show: smug and annoyed.
I am really hoping the stranger is a blue wizard, i can overlook the arrival in a meteor, but if they say its gandalf, I'm going to be livid
