Regarding Galadriel’s belief that Elrond/Gil-Galad couldn’t distinguish her from the enemy - I interpreted the line to mean that Galadriel had been chasing the Enemy for so long that, whenever an Elf thought of Galadriel, it brought up thoughts of the Enemy, and vice-versa… and that’s painful for everyone involved.

The Stranger could possibly be one of the Blue wizards, they came to Middle-Earth before Gandalf and very little is known off the Blue Wizards. Also what we are watching is probably the last hundred odd years of the second age. The end of the 5th season of this show will be the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third Age. (LOTR takes place at the end of the Third Age).

I also believe that Tolkien played around with the idea that Gandalf visited Middle Earth in the second age in a different form and then returned to Valinor. The other strange thing is that we know the wizards showed up in Middle earth by ships arriving at the Grey Havens where they meet Cirdan, who guessed their true nature. They didn't arrive on a burning comet.

@@freebird6591 Gandalf, or Olorin as he's actually named, was sent to Middle-earth, along with other Maiar, in the 1st age just after the Valar discovered the elves to guard the elves from Melkor. He came as himself, in his spirit form as a Maia, and was hidden from the elves but he also sometimes manifested himself as an elf. Similar to how Orome manifests himself as a huntsman. When he comes in the 3rd Age he actually comes as a man with reduced powers - he's been incarnated into a real body - so comes by physical means. I don't think Tolkien said Gandalf came in the 2nd Age but he does, in one version of the wizard stories, say the Blue wizards came in the 2nd around the time the rings were forged. He doesn't say, as far as I know, how they got there.

The blue wizards are also associated with water. Radagast with Earth. While I'm not sure if this is confirmed, I think Saruman is associated with fire, and Gandalf the Grey is associated with air, though he bears the ring of fire which he uses against the balrog. After he is reincarnated as Gandalf the White, he basically takes Saruman's place as the position of fire, being associated with light, hope, and inspiration, while Saruman's fire was that of power and destruction. But yeah, if the blue wizards are associated with water, I feel like him healing in the water, forming ice, bending trees, all fits. The thing that doesn't fit is that as I understand it, the two blue wizards always traveled together and this guy is very much alone. Unless Nori is some secret wizard lol.

If the stranger isn't Gandalf the show runners seem to be trying awfully hard to make people think he is. I mean, him standing on the rock looking up at the sky while the song says "not all who wonder or wander are lost" when "not all who wander are lost" is a famous line that Gandalf says to Frodo and also I believe (but can't recall for sure) that Gandalf is sometimes referred to as the grey wanderer or grey pilgrim.

For the record on the wizards in Tolkien’s work, they aren’t just humans who know magic. They’re Maiar spirits (angels) called the Istari who were sent by the Valar (gods) to fight against Sauron. The only wizards are Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast the Brown and the two Blue Wizards. There are other human and elven magic users and sorcerers but wizard specifically refers to the Istari. The fact that they’re basically angels is why Gandalf was able to be sent back as Gandalf the White after his physical body died in the fight with the Balrog (who are also Maiar who fell to Morgoth).

The Mithril plot is the show combining two lore details into the one existing thing. There IS Mithril in the phial, the necklace Arwen has and Galadriel's rings but in the books Mithril were an established ore that elves used. It seems like the show is attempting to create physical methods of describing/portraying the "Dwindling of the Eldar" that occurs after Morgoth was defeated. The reasoning is that Melkor/Morgoth is originally one of the Valar and therefore part of the world, so the world ITSELF is naturally losing its beauty and decay. The Elven rings were given out by Sauron was a way of "Hey, if you make these rings you will be able to stay the decline of your immortality"-- which is why when the ONE ring is destroyed, the elves are forced to leave or face an eventual mortal life.

The second age is Sauron’s rise back to power leading to the making of the rings and the Last Alliance that was shown in the intro of Fellowship.

The story about Mithril and the lost Silmaril being in a tree is not in the books at all. Elrond here mentions that it’s an apocryphal, a legend. I’m pretty sure even in this show as well this story is not true as well, and a lie told to Celebrimbor by Annatar(Sauron). Also, I don’t think Halbrand is Sauron. Just a really good red herring. Celebrimbor has been acting too sketchy and I do believe Sauron is deceiving him off screen. I’m pretty sure Halbrand will be The Witchking of Angmar. He’ll probably have a similar arc to Aragorn, but he will fall tragically to Sauron’s lies. The atrocity I think he committed was killing his brother who might have actually been the heir. He said he got the pouch “off a dead man.” I could be completely wrong but hey it’s fun to try and see who he will be.

This episode and the next just sold me in the entire show. I'm definitely a fan now (wasn't even sure if I wanted to watch this at first).

A bit on the "Ages" of Tolkien's world. There was no 0th age, but before the first age were some more ages. The Years of the Valar, the Years of the Trees and the Years of the Lamps, First and before all things was the Ainulindalë, the music of creation. This was the birth of the gods (Valar) and creation of the tolkien universe. Then came the Years of the Valar, a sort of epoch consisting of only creation and birthing the world and its life as it would become. They created two lights, "Lamps" which gave light to the world. From then on, it was the Years of the Lamps. then the Years of the Trees (which we did see the trees in the first episode) The Lamps were destroyed by Melkor. The Trees were created to bring light back to the world after the lamps were destroyed. The Trees were later destroyed by Ungoliant, the giant spider which crawls out of the void (Shelob's Mother) at Morgoth's behest. The Silmarils were created out of their light, and those jewels sparked an era of war in the First Age (Silmarillion details all this) Technically, the Years of the Trees and Years of the Lamps are also part of the Years of the Valar. But they're often shown to be different enough. Both defined by where the light of the world comes from. Then the First Age began with the awakening of the first living "children" the Elves (Eldar) Among them were Galadriel and her family, The first age ended with the defeat of Morgoth and the War of Wrath. (Which destroyed much of the continent). The Years of the Trees and the First Age overlap. The first 1400 years or so of the First Age overlaps, as the Trees still exist at that time. Which is what Galadriel remembered in the beginning of the story of the show. Morgoth is eventually defeated and cast into the Void (Not killed. He cannot be killed. We'll come back to this.) The five years without the trees was known as "The Long Night" (George RR Martin couldn't help but steal way too much from Tolkien. Dude even stole his "RR") The "Years of the Sun" coincide with the First Age, as that is when the Sun and Moon are created, basked with light akin to the trees. The Second Age is MOST of this show, which ends with the Battle of the Last Alliance (Which you see in the beginning of Fellowship of the Ring) This age we know fairly little about. Which is why it's perfect for expanding. Third Age ends with the eventual defeat of Sauron and the end of the RIng (War of the Ring). The Third Age is the most iconic age, because The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings take place at this time. Fourth Age begins there and we only have glimpses of what happens there. There was once a follow-up story called "The New Shadow" which was quickly abandoned because Tolkien felt it was a bit too dark. A future where people forgot about the old evils, and children play "orc" because few people remember the threat of Orcs. Nearly all the elves are gone and the dwarves hadn't been heard from in a long time. All magic is fading and it's more akin to our real Medieval age. There's a cult the worships sauron and some plot attached to that, but the sequel was abandoned just a few pages in. Tolkien wrote about his thoughts but ultimately never wanted to continue. And then the end of all time comes with the return of Morgoth from the void, a final battle called the Dagor Dagorath , when heroes from the ancient times return, including all the gods and the legendary warriors Túrin Turambar and Elrond's father Eärendil the Mariner. And the world will be "mended" as declares Tom Bombadil... who... is a conversation for another day... lol

Enjoying it so far

54:30 I don't think you understand how important the elves' presence in Mirddle Earth is they are the light of the world if they die or leave, Middle Earth will have no protection against the powers of evil

it's trash

Lindon exists only as uninhabited ruins during the time of the films. The films also won't give you much insight into what is going on in this show because the second age is barely talked about and only the appendices or reading The Silmarillion will let you know what should be happening during this series or what these characters should be like, the show is doing a poor job of matching the actual lore especially the characterizations and events, though the locations are visually and geographically are pretty close to the books. Galadriel never went to Numenor, she was not a warrior but was the most powerful elf of the time through sorcery and her gifted mind, Pharazon was not a crafty statesman but was the greatest Numenorien warrior of the time, Miriel wasn't queen and instead was forced to marry Pharazon and he ruled as king, Elrond is fairly accurate but Gil-galad was the last great noble elf-king to ever live in Middle Earth not this smarmy douche, everything with the dwarves is great but the mithril storyline is all fan-fiction and the fading of the elves didn't work that way. Most of the original characters don't seem to serve much purpose and come off pretty cringe, maybe just Isildur's friends are fine. Speaking of which, everything about Elendil and Isildur is lame compared to who they should be, the greatest faithful human beings of the time, and though they may make him appear later so far it seems they are saying Anarion (Isildur's brother) is dead for no reason. Tolkien is practically my religion and this series feels like a desecration, but I'm still going to watch it because a little bit of it is Tolkien. Maybe long-term it will more closely resemble the work I love and I'll actually enjoy more of it.

Yo is it me or did they train them for half a day and send them to war…they gonna get their a*s kicked 😅

So Galadriel is angry, aggresive, manipulative, selfish , revenge driven, impatient , etc etc great for a 15 yr old.

Y'all hardly paying attention to the series. No wonder you miss a lot of important stuff.

The showrunners already said that the show its not based on Tolkien work, so watching The Peter Jackson Trilogy wont help, stupid i know, also the times is messe up, for example this is the second age but The things with Elrond and Durin are atleast at the begginning of the second Age, what with the humans and the orcs is in the middle of the second age and what happens in numenor its at the end of the second age we know cause Elendil and Isildur were alive in those times.

Considering this is the most expensive show in history by a large margin and the beautiful source material, this is the biggest disappoinment of a tv series forever for me. It's not bad, it's alright, some very bad stuff, some okay to good stuff, most of it is 'eh' stuff. But considering the huge potential just makes me hate what we got.

I know this is essentially a fan fiction so people shouldn’t expect it to be a 1 to 1 version of details given in the Silmarillion and unfinished tales but my guesses: Adar is one of if not the first proto orc made by Morgoth (orcs were made by deforming and corrupting elves which is why Adar still appears elf like and why they call him father), the stranger is likely Gandalf (giving an explanation for his fondness for them) and Halbrand is Sauron in disguise (Sauron corrupts the Numenoreans after they capture him, he is a great warrior, easily manipulates people and an accomplished smith…all things shared with Halbrand currently). Given this show is meant to run 5 seasons though it would be strange for them to give us everything so early on so wouldn’t be surprised if all of these are red herrings

I doubt Halbrand is Sauron. Most like Sauron is already in Eregion corrupting the elven smiths, which is where this BS story of mithril = silmaril came from. Halbrand could potentially be a future Nazgul, perhaps the Witch-king himself.

@@Arctic_Stark yeah that’s just as likely, to be honest given how the timeline is all over the place I think they are just doing whatever they want as technically if Miriel, Elendil, Isildur and Pharazon are all around in Numenor then the rings should have already be forged by now. I do like the idea of this giving an origin story for the Witch King though, like I say it’s just with Halbrand he shares a lot of similarities with Sauron but it could all be a red herring.

The majority hates this show. Have you seen the reviews and ratios? The minority with low standards like you are the ones defending this garbage.

The people telling you it isn't Gandalf because he doesn't come until the 3rd age are wrong. He can easily leave again and there's zero reason why he could not have gone to middle earth before the 3rd age. The 3rd age is when the Valar specifically send five Maiar to counter Sauron. It's never stated "this was Gandalf's first time in Middle Earth" so saying it *can't* be him are just people projecting their own inferences onto the show (which let's be real, are the majority of the criticisms that say this isn't "canon")

Anyone else only watching Rings of Power rn and can't get into HoTD until it's finished?

This rings of power episode was so bad it made me give up on the series

Funny to see these guys watch the sword training scene and be like "haha that's cool", meanwhile I cringed and laughed watching it because it's so stupid and horribly choreographed.
