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

You know when you start a book and within the first few pages, you have a gut feeling it’s going to be a five star (or at least close to) read? That’s immediately how I felt when I started, A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.

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.

Sci-fi sometimes gets a bad rep, with people saying it’s too complicated or technical and boring. And yes, there are absolutely some that fit those descriptions, but I do think there’s some great starter sci-fi out there for those looking to get into the genre.

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.
