Halbrand shows them where to go on a map. As they were nearing, they would have seen the smoke from the fires.

Nice, I see it. It's called The Eye.

Oh shit. Gonna go watch it now.

Why are they setting up a fake Isildur death when we all know he won't die.

Also that "Mordor" reveal was so cringe. Who tf didn't know that it was already Mordor?

You know a tv series cant be made specifically for the fans and cut out small details right?

Anyway I started hyped for the series, defending it from haters, but it's simply not great. Story isnt that interesting, we barely know our characters and they arent being fleshed out so it something were to happen to them I wouldnt care. Best part has been the elrond/dwarfs storyline.

In the lore when Sauron was at full power he had the elves on the ropes, and then Numenor stepped in at the last moment and god stomped him. A few centuries later when Sauron gathered his strength again, Numenor marched right up to his gate without a single battle and Sauron immediately surrendered when he saw Numenor got even more powerful. At least Numenor being confident kind of makes sense lol

It caught me off guard because I was 100% prepared for Adar to look over the wasteland and dramatically say "Mordor" and when they did it with text I almost started laughing.

I didn't hate it. I think the idea could have stylistically been done better. But it's fine.

There are a lot more casual LotR fans than people online realize. I'm sure there are those who didn't immediately make the connection between the Southlands and Mordor.

Surely most casual fans at least made the connection to Mount Doom when it erupted at the end of the previous episode

so earlier the queen didn't want anyone to know she was blind, but then later is around with a blindfold. wouldn't that just give it away?
why did galadriel and that kid get separated so easily when everyone was within 100 meters when the volcano went off? it's a small village
why did nori's dad say that they're all about helping each other and being together when they were literally just left behind previously?
did i miss something or there was only one ship left for the numeoreans to go back? what happened to the others? i thought they came in 3 ships

My assumption with this one is that she didn't want them to know *at that specific point in time*. They were pretty much fighting to survive at that point and finding out their Queen was maimed may have caused people to just straight-up give up. Once they had reached the safety of that encampment it was fine to reveal it.

This episode was a bit of a let down compared to last week, but I still liked it.

The Numenorians came in hard but got bitched out and destroyed pretty fast. Tbf though, a literal volcano erupted.

The Mordor reveal was definitely cringy. Not the name change or anything. Just the font looked like some horror movie shit. Adar should have just said it.

But it was 100% needed. A lot of my friends were shocked even though it's been known since like the second episode that it's gonna be Mordor. Casual fans definitely didn't put that together.

I too was puzzled at both Galadriel getting so far away from the others and Nori's dad talking about sticking together.

Also, I'm really surprised they're waking Durin's Bane (is that him?) up so early. I'm betting he's eventually forced to go even deeper for now instead of destroying Kazad Dum.

So... Is Halbrand really Sauron?

A blacksmith likely heading to Egreion, or at the very least, will encounter Celebrimbor in Lindon.

But then Celebrimbor's plan doesn't make sense without Annatar giving him the idea...

Halbrand is off being treated by the Elves. Perhaps in that time that's the name they come to know him by?

They seem to be really pointing towards him being Sauron. That random fight scene where he took on 3 guys at once. That one final scene where they were saying something like "he might be walking among us" as the camera was focused on him. Showing up by himself on a life raft in the ocean with no explanation. Being good at blacksmithing. He's going to where Celebrimbor is.

Like at this point if it isn't him then I'll almost feel like they pulled a cheap shot on us.

Nah, I meant like, the assumption is that Cerebrimbor already has a plan about making something, which seems already in play. So someone has already influenced him.

But you make a good point. Cerebrimbor could just have some general plan about saving the elves right now and Halbrand is gonna be the one to offer up some ideas and influence him.

I'm getting a feeling like there's gonna be a time skip after this season.

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. Too many things are starting to line up.

But I think we're forgetting something important. The showrunners are pretty much JJ Abram's proteges. They worked with him on lots of other stuff like Star Trek and even had Abrams put in a good word for them at Amazon, which got them the job. Hence all the mystery boxes.

So I can definitely see them just taking us for a ride with that lol.

Im still unsold on the Halbrand=Sauron theory, but for me the biggest argument in its favor is the conversation he has with Galadriel in the prison about how to manipulate people by finding out what their biggest fear or weakness is, and then offering them the way to overcome it which is exactly how Sauron will later convince Ar-Phrarazon to try to sail to Valinor.

No, Adar killed Sauron. Right now, Sauron should be able to take any form. So Adar wouldn't know because he can't sense Maiar.

Yeah it could be, but nothing really indicates that Adar would be in league with Sauron. I think he really does hate him.

The orcs are afraid of Sauron. He treats them like slaves. Adar treats them like his children and they willingly support him.

I presume they'll give more solid answers at some point. They give various hints and show of his powers though, so lots of guesses as to who they are.

Lots of people seem to think it's Gandalf however, with a few thinking it could have been Sauron at one point but that seems to have been discounted now.

I'm loving this show so much. Even though we all knew that the Southlands become Mordor it still have me chills when it said it on screen.

The Harfoots are the only bit that drags it down for me (sorry Sir Lenny). It sort of feels like every other storyline is converging and reaching a point where you can see a series finale worthy climax/cliffhanger coming up next week, the Harfoot story feels like it's only just reached the point where it's actually starting finally.

i was suspecting it to be him, but he just felt too pointless, pathetic to be him
