LOL I legit cracked up ty

maybe that old guy is Sauron?

(j/k I know Galadriel is really Sauron)

Woman to woman moment where they pat each other on the back post-battle was so fucking cringe. Black elf guy did 99% of the real work and I think most people would have listened to him regardless of what she said in her little speech. I guess they needed something to segue into introducing new king guy but still.

edit: Episode pretty decent. I think they really lost something with the orcs in this show. They just seem so much less threatening and brutal than the trilogy orcs. Son of the potions lady that led the town is a real cringelord but he's pretty well casted for the role he's playing imo. Nailing the angsty teenager tbh. Also I think the sword isnt that big of a stretch, they approached that shrine as part of the attack. Probably had it for years never knew what to do with it and saw that and put two and two together. Doesnt seem that crazy tbh.

I didn't mean the volcano part even though that's convenient.
They would all suffocate and die being that close from CO2. Plot armour will save them though.



Lol the exchange of woman (cringe) power was definitely forced. Not to mention the part where the elf was being choked I said to myself well wouldn't it be convenient if that woman jumps out and saves the day. Sure enough right on time bam eye roll fking hollywood.

Clearly neither of you pay attention to the shows you watch.

Feel free to take a stab at answering my questions then.

That guy was created for the show (not from the books). He had a cryptic conversation with Theo at the tower explaining that he knew a lot about Sauron and the sword (that took place before he me Adar). Then later when Adar set him about the task, we don't see the orders so we don't know what Adar told him.

Far as I can see, it leaves things pretty open ended regarding what the guy knew originally vs. what Adar may have told him (if anything).

Let's hear the explanation then. Clearly the first scene the orcs were a second away from being crushed by a huge tower. They used teleportation? Adar is a blue wizard who can use protos shields do tell us

I hate to join the train of overly critical people but my wife and I watched last nights episode and there was so much stuff I was chuckling at.

The fight between the orc and the elf. Why did the orc just let the elf back into his stomach and then have a shoving match. There was 50 oppetunities for the orc to just kill the elf. I hate that shoving match shit. Kills the brutality of orcs when that happens. Plot armour to the maximum and easily the dumbest fight yet.

How the fuck did Hallbrand get in front of buddy when he was in the middle of the fight when Galadrial took off by horse after him. Did he fucking teleport?

How was there 500 horses on three small ships? Where the fuck did they all come from?

There's just so many moments where I don't understand how what's happening is happening.

I know all of the above is overly critical but I consider myself the average viewer and its jumping out at me. How didn't it jump out at the writers?

Oh and one other thing. It was pitch fucking black when the orcs attacked and was still pitch black when they were in the keep but then it switched to daylight instantly for the horses to roll in???

Not to mention it was like a 30 minute raid not all night.

Just terrible writing. It's like no one looked at it and asked if it made any sense at all.

I don't care about genders or race or hair length or any of that crap but I do care if the show actually flows and that episode was horrible for that in my opinion.
