So basically, it’s canon that Sauron is just a sad, emo boy with an unrequited love for Galadriel, so he decides to destroy Middle-earth instead…I’m kidding.

Was there ever a more epic episode than this?! I am not recovered.

This episode felt rushed again. Perhaps because they had scenes with almost every main actor, minus Elrond and Isildur (a crime!!!), but I once again didn’t feel like the story was propelled forward all that much.

When I tell you this episode broke me…I’ve literally just finished watching and want to get my thoughts out while it’s all fresh in my mind.

Was this my favorite episode so far this season even though barely anything actually happened? Possibly.

A while back I saw someone on TikTok mention they like to think of The Rings of Power like fanfiction.
