This show has brought me back to Lord of the Rings. Had such wonderful memories of seeing the first three movies with my late husband. After he died, it was too hard to watch them again. Still haven't watched the Hobbit movies-although have seen bits and pieces. This beautiful show has rekindled my love for these stories. Watched Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in 15yrs and enjoyed it. Can't wait for season 2.

Was waiting for you guys. And yes. The writing is actually awesome, and you can see that every reveal was pretty well stabilished. And people don't understand that it is an adaptation. Avengers: Infinity Wars has completely different things from the comics and people don't complain. The books are the books. And the comics are the comics. Plus, only Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit are actually really cannon in Tolkien's world. That is what he wrote AND decided to publish. He was still working on the Silmarillion and decided not to publish it because of it. So, only two books are actually Tolkien approved.

Really, how, for The forest of Professor Tolkien is being burned before our eyes in the fires of corporations...what standard do u use to actually assess this?

People forget that the Elven rings are able to resist Sauron's influence. This is due to the fact that, while Sauron gave the secrets of how to make them to Celebrimbor, he wasn't directly involved in their creation. Once Sauron's full plot was revealed, the elves were able to hide their 3 rings from Sauron's sight. They used them to protect their realms (Lindon, Lothlorien, Rivendell, etc) from both external threat and the passage of time. As to why Galadriel and Elrond allowed the creation of the 3 rings to move forward, the elves knew that the creation of the rings were dangerous, but necessary to allow the elves to remain in Middle Earth and help Mankind fight against the darkness. They also did not know the full extent of Sauron's plan at this point to create a master ring. The white/silver ring of water, Nenya, went to Galadriel, who wore it ever after and bore it into Valinor at the end of the story. The gold/blue ring of air, Vilya, was first worn by Celebrimbor, who later sent it to King Gil-Galad to keep it safe when Eregion fell. It was then given to Elrond by Gil Galad, and he wore it ever after and bore it into Valinor at the end of the story. The gold/red ring of fire, Narya, was given first to King Gil Galad and he wore it until his death at the battle of the Last Alliance. It then passed to Cirdan, the shipwright, who wore it for most of the third age. Near the end of the third age, Cirdan recognized Gandalf's nature as a Maiar and gifted him the ring to aid in his labours. Gandalf then bore it into Valinor at the end of the story. The 9 rings of men, worn forever by the wraiths who bore them, were destroyed when the power of the One Ring fell. As for what happened to the 7 rings wielded by the dwarf lords, not much is known of their fate. They are presumed lost, deep in the various ruined kingdoms of the Dwarves, especially Moria.

People tried to draw similar comparisons with The Last Jedi, Wheel of Time, and numerous other bad big and small screen projects. Sometimes a show or movie of low quality is just that. Something can be of inferior quality and you can still enjoy it subjectively. People liked Michael Bay's Transformers films enough for them to gross around 3.3 billion (1.2 of which was from one film).

One of Sauron’s many names is The Great Deceiver, and it is said the best lies have some truth in them, well he lived up to that title. Not once did he truly lie to any of them, and yet he manipulated them so perfectly by making all those who helped them think it was their idea. Damn Charlie Vickers was perfectly cast. As for the scenes with The Stranger and Nori, I did not think I was gonna cry this episode, but when Nori said goodbye to her family and then when Poppy ran up to her and hugged her I couldn’t help but cry. What truly is upsetting is that rather than shoot seasons 1, 2, and 3 back to back to back Amazon Studios only JUST started production on season 2 as of this video being released. And the show runners have said it will be YEARS before we see the next season. So while I’m still going to watch season 2 I’m afraid that most people will completely forget about the show by then. Like what happened to Westworld.

Literally everything about Sauron in this show is stupid. All lore is off, Galadriel was supposed to be the only one who wasn't fooled, yet she got the most fooled of all. He has no fair form, he was in Eregion for like a Thursday (it was supposed to be for a hundred years) - and the three elven rings were the only ones of the lesser 19 rings Sauron _didn't_ help create... Jeez it's horrible. And there is no way they will be done with another season in a year - and if they do it will look way worse.

Fist of all big thank you for you guys. It's been such a joy to come to your channel and see the excitement you have for the show. As much as I try not to care about what other people think, it still takes my mood down a bit to hear other reactors say it was just "alright" and then all the haters say whatever. Anyway, your reactions have been like this comfort bubble where I can fully relive my own enjoyment with the show ♡ I fully agree with what you said about how this episode had a lot of the lotr movie feels. At this point the actors are so good at portraying their characters that they feel like them. Especially the Stranger did a phenomenal job at bringing in the wizard-like energy. And the last shot with Sauron looking over Mordor with the music felt 100% like Lotr to me. It was beautiful. Ahh what a long wait we have..

I really enjoyed this episode. I watched it and a few days later went to a friend's house to watch it again. She hadn't seen it and another friend and I kept telling her the people who weren't Sauron were and she kept getting mad at us until of course it was announced who he really was. I think the ep gave us a different look at Sauron. Have watched it a few more times. Thanks for your reactions guys. Super appreciate it.

Oh my gosh I was keeled over nearly crying at how Hector kept underlining Nori's little sister's POV 🤣

And then catching the call back to Galadriel’s words when she is tempted by the ring. The fangirl in me is so happy. Also the YA Fantasy reader in me who loves morally grey somewhat evil love interests stood up in the moment when Halbrand/Sauron shows Galadriel his vision for them to be at each other’s side and was like “ok but maybe we ship this?” (I had to tell her to sit back down) Can’t wait for S2.

And yeah, the MOMENT that Halbrand tells Celebrimbor, "Call it... a gift...", my husband and I both went, "Yep, there's the nod to Annatar, 'Lord of Gifts'". Season 2 will likely have the power struggle of Numenor (over the course of the season), Sauron making the 7 and the 9 (though not sure yet who exactly he'll be giving them to), and MAYBE (albeit unlikely this early) Elrond leaving Lindon to go found Rivendell. As far as the Dwarves go, I hope S2 gives us Celebrimbor and Narvi forging the Hollin Gate.

its good to see some people enjoying show

As someone that became a Tolkien fan after the LotR movies came out, I absolutely appreciate it when the RoP do a call back to those movies even when it doesn't match with Tolkien lore. The movies made me want to read the LotR books and do a deep dive into the Appendices, the Silmarillon and Beren and Luthien. I appreciate your RoP reactions and your insight on the storymaking process instead on cricisms on lore accuracy. Your content fills my hobbit/harfoot heart.

This is my favorite show for the year, every plotline, every hint, every deception, every character very well thought out and written. Saw the whole season several times, at the same time, nothing has diminished in emotionality and suspense, on the contrary, I keep discovering even more details and understand many things even better. Very subtle storytelling. Simply incredible. I'm sure that despite all this nonsensical complaining by many people, this show will hold its own and will certainly not age. The paint won't flake off that quickly. In 10 years, we may see even better effects, but the development and interweaving of the storylines is and will remain sensational. And we will still fall off our chairs at what the next seasons will offer us. Even if the wait will be a real test of patience.

I've already done that Plex fixing name wise to show properly for LOTR haha

Late to finding y'all, and the comment thread - but my *instinct* says that the Stranger is one of the Blue Wizards - either Pallando or Alatar. Tolkien didn't write anything about them - they arrived, then "went East", and he never wrote any more. But if each of them has a focus - Radagast was the birds and the beasts; Gandalf was Fire; Saruman was the Works of the Enemy - then I could easily see one of the Blues being the Winds.

22:25 it's wild that Elrond basically confirms that, in this universe, Galadriel was a part or at least adjacent to the Third Kinslaying by her fellow Noldor that killed Elrond and Elros' people (not their parents of course)

I've really enjoyed sharing this series with you guys, and I love the energy you put into everything you do. On the subject of the show... if I can let go of my Tolkien-fan brain I absolutely love it. It's very well made, the casting and scoring are so well done, and the effects are beautiful. That said, I do hate HOW MUCH of the Tolkien's 2nd age (and now maybe 3rd age??) has been rewritten to make all of these events and characters all come together at the same time. The creation of the rings, Elendil's first military campaign in Middle Earth, the identity of the Stranger... they've taken like 3 to 4 thousand years of story and crammed it all together. And that really bums me out.

I thought the show was phenomenal. 🏆 “Season 2 - we’ll wait for you!”.

I can't wait for season 2! Season 1 was great and loved what they have done so far!

Loved the show and loved your reactions too, gonna miss them! I love you forgetting that year-long waits for Tolkien adaptations is kinda the norm!

I was just like Agustin! Right when halbrand said "gift" I was like oh yeah that's sauron. I just hope the environment of the second season doesn't feel detached from LOTR seeing as they will be filming in the UK instead of New Zealand

Great show. My favorite part of the season was Hector making up dumb but believable names and lore 😂😂😂

I love this show, the whole first season feel like a prologue and in season 2 the pace will probably pick up a bit and I hope that we don't have to wait too long until it comes out.

For me who only watched the movies, the show ended up being above my expectations

My crazy out theory was that Celebrimbor was going to be Sauron in hiding so that he literally made the rings for everyone with the plan of making the One Ring afterward. That way it would be him actually corrupting the rings but I ended up really liking the Halbrand twist. Great reaction as always guys!

8:30 I love this joke because I believe that is the Helm of Dor-Lómin!

32:13 Hector is me when I0m overthinking, gone! lol

I wonder how things would have turned out if she did join Sauron. Galadriel binding him to the light and her to power, would she just have become the more powerful tyrant? Or could they actually balance themselves out, would Halbrand actually enslave everyone with cruelty.

Finally!!! I was waiting since Friday for you guys reaction! Hectors, comical commentary is hilarious! LOL! One of the reasons I started following you guys (subscribe)is the fact that your commentaries are on point! Your reactions I feel are exactly how we react when we’re watching these shows at home. I can’t be the only one that feels this way. I sincerely I feel exactly how you feel I can’t wait a year. I hope they do this really soon.

Lol that they made the joke at 8:40 about the dragon helmet being a part of the lore but Reddit and Nerd of the Rings suspect it actually IS a helmet from lore, Turin's Dragon Helm.

When the witch turned into the moth, is it the same moth that came to Gandalf when he was on the white tower??

Top 5 character so far in this show and can't wait to see their storylines next season: Halbrand/Sauron, Elendil, Galadriel, Elrond and Durin. I think these five were easily the best five characters this season and I cannot wait for what they do with them next season.

Elrond is called The Half-Elven because both his parents were also half elven. Since the fates of the two kindreds are different (the Elves are immortal and thus will exist as long as the world exist, and men are given the Gift of Death, after a short time in The Halls of Mandos they leave the confines of the world), half elves have to choose to be counted among the elves or men. Elrond's twin brother Elros chose to be counted among Men and was the first King of Numenor Tar-Minyatur.

Nori/Poppy's relationship its giving Frodo-Sam vives :)

Galadriel is so ready to swallow that Sauron D. Jeez.

Thanks for loving the show! I do too! I'm a little sad Halbrand was Sauron. I really liked his character. What would be a cool twist though is if Halbrand died in the explosion and Isildur finds his body. Because it's like he changed overnight after Mt Doom. It would be cool if Sauron takes on different iterations and keeps the viewers guessing. Just a thought. Cant wait for season 2.

Excellent job! I really enjoyed this video, I'll definitely be back for more!

Again love your reaction guys, this show is amazing !!!

It's a good show simply BASED on the books, I hope people sooner or later enjoy it for what it is with no useless and harmful drama.

Only one thing makes me think the Stranger isn't Gandalf. The three cultists said the Hermits Hat constellation is in the far east. The Blue wizards went east in the second age. Of course they may be playing the theory of proto third age wizards coming in different forms before their appearance after the war. Whatever he is, he's AWESOME!!! (and Good!)

Two huge thumbs up. All I know about Tolkien is what I’ve learned from the movies, and this series fits in beautifully. I’ve enjoyed every minute of every episode, even the episodes that others haven’t. I hope they continue to have such high quality…everything going forward.

Sauron really didn't lie though, and he presents a good quandary. Galadriel was willing to forgive the evil he did, when she didn't think it had effected her. And now she refuses to join him, even when she was the one that convinced him to come out of black knight retirement. (Honestly, Halbrand has been put in kind of a weird predicament XD like "oh NOW you want me to retire and ignore the issues going on middle earth?! Now, when I've been invigored again, and are back in Middle Earth. Not when I was tired and depressed back on the paradise island??.) XD

Great reaction as always. I've been checking everyday for your reaction of this episode. Finally it arrived and it's really awesome. Now we have to wait a year or so. 😕

Last night I was watching Dairy girls on Netflix and there it was Sauron himself playing pastor...cool guy. I was hoping for blue wizard but when he said follow the nose line....I am like...thats Gandalf...

I guess during this age one does simply walk into Mordor. 😂

That ending was 🔥🔥🔥

You guys are great! I loved watching your reaction. Personally I’m still not convinced that the stranger is Gandalf, although I agree that that last line of his is highly suggestive.

Truly wild that you guys posted this minute after I finished the finale! Love you guys

Was very happy with the end of this season, it paid off the slow burn pretty well. All the cast was spectacular as were the visuals! Concerned how long we might have til Season 2, luckily we have Season 2 of Wheel of Time coming up to keep us in fantasy fun!

Amazing series, cannot wait for the second season!!! loved your reactıons!!!

Thanks for this guys. The ep was incredible and elevated all that came before even more. Fantastic show, super excited for the coming seasons 🔥

His advice and lore is not his "essence" in the Elven Rings. He helped them reach the skills that would create them, but never worked directly on them. The Elven Rings were "clean" of his spirit. Sauron being part of the development of the artistry, however, understood exactly their nature, and thus knew how to forge the One to have power over them. But the Three were of such potency, that he needed to transfer so much of himself from spirit into matter to control them, he permanently weakened himself, creating a fatal flaw that in the end was used to undo him (Gandalf's master plan).

I really loved the song in the credits!

yeah, about that year wait. season one took 18 months and now they are moving production from New Zealand to the UK. they are expecting to get it out first quarter of 2024 at the earliest.

Guys, once again thanks for a great watch along. Hector, please feel better soon sir. I could see you were distracted. Agustin, you’re so cool to be able to be entertained even though I could see you taking a breath as these writers strayed from the lore. I thinking of Mary Poppins and how the author hated the movie, yet it’s a classic for decades. This show is made for the casual LOTR fan. Adam, great work as usual sir. You guys are so funny. That thing with the Plex server had me LOL.

Great reaction guys :). I for one cant wait to see more of the stranger and if I am being honest I think the Gandalf clues are just red herrings and I think he is gonna end up being one of the blue wizards.

Not going to lie. People who go off and just trash on shows don’t get another view from me. But you guys will be one of my go-to’s for sometime. I think you know who some of the other must watches are. See you on the next Andor episode.

Now the evidence is clear, and none can deny that "ROP" is not of Tolkien. Take heart for our EXSURGE TOLKIEN that makes robustly clear the heresy of Tolkien's Canon displayed out of the showrunner's mouths and hearts. They probably know nothing of Tolkien's masterpiece, as evident from their interview in the Vanity Fair Article. For "they who proclaim to loveth Tolkien, yet understandeth, not his world view can neither hope to create a new film, show, or series of his secondary world." "Auta i lóme!" and" Aurë entuluva!"

@@NovRen19, there’s having opinions and then there’s just hateful rage. Sorry, but I can’t get behind what you’re doing. The LotR movies didn’t even follow the books to true form and we knows they were going to change some things for the show because of you tried to make a straight translation if the books it would be boring as all get out. (Stop pretending you’re the only ones to have read the books. I know how the story goes and I welcome the change.) You can hate the show, that’s all you. But you don’t have to watch the show, you still have the books. Just pretend the show doesn’t exist and leave those of us who do enjoy the show to enjoy ourselves. You don’t have to bring us down and feel awful just because you do. As a huge Star Wars fan and having watched the fandom of that community devour itself with self righteousness I just can’t get behind you purists. I just do not agree. So please, let me enjoy myself, don’t try and ruin my day. Hope you find some happiness somewhere, they are not going to drop the show after they already paid for five seasons. We really don’t need you attacking our enjoyment that entire time. Please!

@@chewieknievel8439 well you are extremely judgmental and how no right to defame all, who is hating the show, a critical review is not hate, you are acting like anakin skywalker against obi-wan in E3, and you should spend 32 minutes reviewing the Tolkien quotes in our series since you spent 8 hours listening to the showrunners narrative. How can you admire and respect Professor Tolkien and proclaim its a great show. Its absolutely amazing how these minds work. Peace be to you and dont be hasty and judgmental your on ur path to the 9 kings of men, and already are sounding wraithy serving a corporate machine Theyocracy ✨️

And if u were as critical of the ROP and focused on doing the analysis of its scripte compared to Professor Tolkien's lore and what he wrote in his letters you would agree with us, and be entertained but you would not "love", not gonna lie.
