Didn't Tolkien also say Gandalf was the only wizard to ever stay faithful to his mission to help defeat Sauron?


But that could have been before he changed his mind lol.

Pretty much yeah, haha. He was the only wizard to complete his task as intended, which was to dedicate his life & do anything & everything to stop Sauron. He helped Gandalf escape from Orthanc, after unwittingly getting Gandalf imprisoned there, but didn’t take as an active role in the events as Gandalf did. Tolkien states that while Radagast didn’t fail in the same sense that Saruman did, falling to evil, he did however somewhat forsake his mission to instead focus on his true passion which was basically nature.

thats what u said, was just correcting you.

let just hope one of the blue wizards isnt black or you might have a stroke.


We all know that Saruman isn't a blue wizard. Everyone knew what was mentioned. I should of added OR in there for people who have a hard time following basic thought process. If you dont include a full stop or dont explicitly spell out the obvious they have panic attacks. Hopefully your therapist didn't charge you extra hours because you found an error on d2jsp.

My therapist is a big pile of stumps and a wood splitter.

Again, episode 5 was fine. Neither myself nor the wife view the show as a "cant wait for next weeks episode".

We have Prime so we watch it. We are also both in agreement that the Numanor storyline is bad, the characters are pretty unlikable and it just doesn't make sense. Likewise, the story in the Southernlands is also pretty bad. I don't fully understand why people are sitting watching a bunch of torches coming at them knowing they're about to die and why they have been doing that for two episodes now.

I have to look at a map, but can't they start going the opposite direction and just have a good head start at running away? I could have missed something. Also the elfs comments had me laughing. "They could be here in days, or maybe hours". Good estimating man.

The other two storylines ongoing are carrying the show keeping us intrigued enough to tune in next week.


Agreed on all points.

Finally the peasants and their wahmen leader got cleaned up by the orcs. Sadly they didn't all die but we'll take what we can get.

Damn the guy did the old switcharoo with a sword finally something useful. We getting Mt doom although there is 0 chance of that happening if it was irl. But Hollywood got to make money and pay child support so they make shit up. (In this case idgaf)

Halbrand is still sauron imo but its only a theory. Although wonder what magic powers saved the Uruk Adar other then plot armor is beyond me.

Who is the old guy who used the key/sword and how did he know what to do with it? Was he the one who had it under his barn before the show began? Did he always know how to use it even before Adar showed up?

yea the show has so many disconnected plots they just pull them out for convenience reasons. No logic or reason other then oh look we need this to happen lets just make them do it regardless.

The old guy did have it under his barn for many years but had amnesia for all his life, until he knew how to magically do all the right things with the sword when the trash writers of the show gave him the go ahead.
First scene Adar and his orcs about to be crushed by a huge tower and fire with no way to escape, some time later they are unhurt and in full numbers just casually marching again fking plot armor
