Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Really depends how willing the writers are to fudge things, or just pull * straight out of their *. Gandalf really shouldn't be in it this early in the timeline, but the timeline in general is being condensed and changed around so they might just say it's an early version of him, and meeting these nomadic hobbits is why later on he's so fond of them when nobody else really gives a *.

There were the blue wizards, Tolkien didn't really write much of anything about them other than they travelled into the east and never came back, that would line up with this one going to Rhun, that's the land east/northeast of mordor, just making him one character instead of two.

 

It is. They all but confirmed it with the “follow your nose” line.

 

I enjoyed this season a lot more. Might be because my expectations were so low going into it.

Some of the writing is still a bit crap, as is some the dialogue, and Galadriel is still a child-like pain in the *. But some nice moments. Charlie Vickers as Sauron is really good I think.

I've made my peace with the fact it's never going to come close to the movies.

 

It’s good that there is a season 3 but it seems there will also be seasons 4 and 5

 

Enjoyed that season. Sauron just so toxic haha

 

The use of the orcs in this season were just as good as in the films and the final battle scenes were brilliant! Saurons casting is perfect too I think. Hes a brilliant actor
