Hey Peaches! Let's head back to Middle Earth. Galadriel has her army ready to set sail and kick Sauron's butt out of the Southlands. Meanwhile our Men folk in the Southlands are under threat from Sauron because they have something he's looking for. And we get Hobbit's singing and Wizards wizzing? Using magic. Finally.

The cart wheels look oddly familiar.... future doors maybe?

I think the stranger is young Gandolph.

See this is what both bothers and amazes me about RoP. On the one hand they provide this amazing, completely made up backstory for Mithril, on the other hand that backstory requires that I ignore that Mithril was around in the First Age. Even as someone completely obsessed with Tolkien I still love this show but it does leave me conflicted at times.

Jason Marbach

I absolutely adore this show. Every single choice they make enhances the original lore for me - even the few things they change outright from the source material makes the overall story better and more interesting.

So Nori says there's wolves in the woods after seeing the p'lizzard tracks, and the closed captions also refer to them as wolves later. Soooo I guess in Tolkien's world wolves are vaguely boar-like?? I'm really entertained by this show. It feels very authentically like something Tolkien would write even though it often departs from the text, kinda like the Peter Jackson movies. It's not terribly book accurate but you can still tell it's written by fans of the books. But yes, 5 episodes in and nothing much has happened yet, especially with the Numenorian subplot. I'd rather watch more of the Harfoot or Elf/Dwarf storylines than the bits with the humans, frankly. That stuff is dragging on.

What Jason Marbach said above! Additionally, I think the sister of Isildur was created to give a closer perspective of the Numenorean fear of death (why they resented the Elves). In addition to their island, they were granted lifespans 4x that of mortal men, but over many centuries the "Gift of Man" came to be seen as the "Doom of Man". They became jealous and envious of the Elves. Tar-Palantir (Miriel's father) tried to reverse that view but failed. Death, and how one approaches it, is a major theme of Tolkien's work (he was a devout Catholic); Whether to view it as a path than all must take - or to fear, it and either try to extend life, or do things you think will get you a better place in the afterlife.

I don't think asking for a "get-to-it" pace with a Lord of the Rings property is realistic. I feel like the slow burn is part of the traditional storytelling. I get it if you don't vibe with the pace, but I find it as a visual feast and a gorgeous soundscape. I love - love - LOVE that we've seen how music is used in all of the different races. It is very telling for the type of people they are. The dwarves with their hymns to the stone, the harfoots with their folk-tunes, the Elves using song to recall history, and the men with their drinking songs and war drums. Even the orcs were doing chanting in this episode. Brilliance.

So in the begining the only knowledge the "Stranger" had was the map he was trying to draw, which was the map Galadriel found out was of Mordor, odds are this is Sauron, or potentially a balrog which is why he seems to know nothing except the Sauron plan B to meet at Mordor.

Stephen Morris

I'm loving the slow burn of this show. I think this isnt a "do the thing" type of show. This show is a tragedy not an epic action show. It's more about the Journey. Oh and Halbrand is definitely going to be a Nazgul.

Man the song at the beginning was perfect. It really got me. Most of this episode felt really solid.

Fitness & Fandom

Poppy's song, "This Wandering Day", gets me every time. And with the visuals? And the map? The perfect travel montage.
