Bear McCreary killed it with the music.

The “brothers” face was so creepy eyehole he said “touch the darkness once more” it was the just suggestive moment in the whole Sauron Galadriel season of interaction I wish we’d had more of that type of thing all along Then temptation of Galadriel to actually consider his offer would have been believable and her considering it would have made this more interesting

Sauron's real name is Mairon and his name is Annatar Lord of Gifts when he's in disguise during this age but Amazon can't use that name so that's why they invented Halbrand but they did have a callback to it when he said call it a gift and he's very good with illusions that's what he was doing to Galadriel and he and Gandalf are of the same race btw the next season is coming out in two years

Ei Cat, nice reaction, . . . That boat scene with Galadriel & Halbrand tho' 🔥🔥🔥

Is is just me, or was that scene on the raft was very Anakin and Padme on Mustafar? "And together you and I can rule the galaxy , make things the way we want them to be!" Introducing the Balrog just means he's down there, real deep, awaiting in the darkness. There's no real forward plot progression in that department considering The King sealed up the wall. It's very much a 'when King Durin is dead, long live King Durin, THEN we'll dig and they'll disturb the Balrog' situation. At the present there's nothing in that story to address. Also, no tears for Gandalf and Sauron confirmations, but ugly crying for her brother's dagger being melted? I dunno why you're crying either! haha. But it's a good reaction.

Happy you're here for it too 🔮

Nice reaction. I love it when shows can really move us to where we can get upset or moved to tears. Some people just don’t get moved by fiction as many of these people will say it’s not real. However I believe art whether its film or otherwise can stir our souls where it can elicit memories or experiences from our own life which is where the emotion ultimately comes from. It’s not the show only per se, but what it reflects back to us that stirs our human feelings on our lives & experience. I think it was awesome you showed your crying when Galadriel had to sacrifice Finrod’s dagger & she had to watch it melt. It was moving because although she kept his memory alive in her heart & his spirit moving in her actions by hunting Sauron, the dagger was the last tangible connection to her beloved brother. If you notice the smelting vessel the dagger was melted in resembled a coffin - I don’t know if it was intentional or not - but it symbolized the dagger’s “funeral” & the melting of the last physical connection Galadriel had to her brother. It was emotional & Bear McCreary’s musical score for the show is powerful & moving. If you listen to the score during Finrod & Galadriel’s scenes, it about as emotional & moving as a soundtrack can get. It shows you have deep emotion & a big heart Cat. I never understood how some people cannot be moved by things such as movies or shows beyond just real life experiences. This show received excessive criticism but it’s been nice to see most reactors have enjoyed it. It’s been a fun ride & much of the criticism is unfounded & undue. The show has been visually striking, entertaining, & the acting has been great by the entire cast. It’s been a joy & privilege to be back in Middle Earth. Can’t wait for Season 2!!!

God I wish there was more episodes in this season.

The Balrog is the same Balrog from Lord of the Rings. “You know what is in those mines, the Dwarves delve too deeply”. ~ Saruman Clearly Moria has become a ruin in LoTR… so one assumes that the Balrog gets loose and destroys the place, and all the Dwarves die.

all the dwarves that fought the balrog stood no chance and died, the rest fled the mountain

I will give you a summary of what will happen according to the books: As Sauron's cover has already been revealed, the 7 rings of the dwarves and 9 of the elves will surely create them by himself and with some nice appearance they will deceive dwarves and men. . He will secretly create the only son, on the mountain of destiny to control the other rings. After that, the elves will notice and remove the rings so that Sauron does not control them. Sauron will want to retrieve the rings from the elves and there will be a big war confirmed in the second season, in which the kingdoms of the elves will be almost destroyed. At the last moment Númenor will come to the rescue and defeat Sauron first by sea and then by land, commanded by King Alfarazón. Sauron will then return to Mordor, where he will devise a plan to defeat Numenor. Sauron without resisting will allow himself to be captured at the black gates of Mordor by Númenor. Later they will take him to the usla of Númenor where he will remain a prisoner, but it will not take long for him to manipulate King Alfarazón and name him his right hand. Sauron will convince him to attack Valinor, the land of the "Gods" with the largest fleet of ships ever seen. For this, Sauron will tell Alfarazón that if he wants the immortality of the "angels" to be worth it, he has to conquer these tender ones and force them to give it to him. The valar don't want to fight the humans and ask for help to make God "Iluvatar" then Iluvatar combines a great wave, whirlwinds and lightning and destroys the fleet of Numenor and buries the island of Numenor under the sea "Atlantis" along with Sauron whose body is destroyed. But since Sauron is a "lower angel" Maiar, his soul cannot die and after a while he acquires another body, but as punishment for attacking the Valar, he can no longer take a beautiful form. Sauron somehow retrieves the One Ring and declares all-out war on Middle-earth. The 9 kings who accepted the 9 rings of men were transformed into specters, one of them being a powerful human sorcerer who would be the head of the "specter rings" who would have a fortress in Angabad. On the other hand, the dwarves would not fall for the temptation of the 7 dwarf rings, but would curse them and lead them to ruin "Moria-balrog", "Lonely Mountain"-"Smaug". Men, elves and dwarves will unite against Sauron and little by little they will lose, desperately they will form a "last alliance" where Sauron will be defeated and Isildur will take the ring from Sauron's corpse. And the rest you already know.

I’ll admit the show is not perfect, and I respect the critiques people have. Hoping that Season 2 might be more enjoyable for those who didn’t particularly like season 1 🤞🏼

Galadriel was not supposed to have a major arc, and you weren’t supposed to identify with her. The whole point of the season is that her way of doing things and brooking no dissent made her easy for Sauron to manipulate. And she had to stay fooled right up til the end, even though we all saw it. And so did Elrond and Gil-Galad, who both told her that if she carried on like this, she’d end up enabling the very darkness she sought to defeat. And that’s exactly what happened. Galadriel didn’t go through a big change in this season, because her role in the story was to be a change agent. She bends the world and other people to her will, causing their arcs to happen. And then it all blows up in her face. Only now can her own change arc begin.
