I talked a bit about how much this shot affected me in my previous gifset. Charlie's melancholic delivery is so multi-layered and it's so meaningful here. It's an interesting choice of words: "You think too much of me." He specifically doesn't say she "overestimates" him. It's very Sauron of him to resist dwelling on his limitations or believing he's powerless in any scenario. Except for one -- the storm that brought him and Galadriel together. Back then Galadriel declared their meeting was the work of "something greater." Her conviction shook him to the core. For their brief time at sea, and as "Halbrand," he could imagine that radiant possibility. He had a place. And in that place, a power greater than his own had bestowed upon him meaning. Together, Galadriel and Halbrand were a part of a grander design. Even if he was not its architect, he could be its instrument and there would be harmony. He could surrender to it like their fateful raft in the currents of the sea.

And I believe this is why Sauron briefly appears wounded and even mournful when Galadriel suggests that "all this was his design from the beginning." Because it means she now refuses to acknowledge the hand of a greater power which guided their paths to converge. In laying sole responsibility at his feet, she has abandoned her belief that their connection is the work of "something greater" and further, any role she played in that forging. Yet even as Galadriel says this and later tells him that their bond was an illusion he conjured up, her words are clearly laced with doubt. She still feels it -- him. Their destinies are bound. Which is why Sauron's response is a gentle reminder of an undeniable truth. They are still at sea. Where they once believed that something greater orchestrated their fates to intertwine. When once Galadriel had made him a believer.

So to have all that transpired between them reduced to deceit and manipulation clearly pains him. In more ways than one. To see Galadriel, who once had so much hope and fervent belief now be cynical of the forces that brought them together. The world feels smaller. Less bright. Less the brilliant mystery. And Sauron, the more lost. The less human. The less "Halbrand." So he'll be the bane of her existence, her Abhorred. He'll be the root and cause of all that befalls her and embrace her ire. Until she realizes that, even in this, she was always right. A higher power still weaves their fates together.

Think about the fun promo shoots Lucas Till would have done with those flowing locks for that Unaired MacGyver Reboot Pilot. Shampoo Commercial worthy *lol*

Anyone else notice Mac wearing Jacks jacket in season 4?

"Ours was no chance meeting. Not fate, nor destiny. Nor any other words Men use to speak of the forces they lack the conviction to name. Ours was the work of something greater. You must see it." 1x03

“Interesting. Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?” “You? At his side, as if you've always been there and always will.”

“In the season finale, my character watches the love of his life blow up in an airplane…I spend 70 hours a week trying to be this person – and when we did the take, I completely broke down and was inconsolable for 10 minutes…It’s one of those moments that was just the culmination of the work I’d put into the character, and it all came out at one time, involuntarily.”   - Matt Bomer on filming the final scene of White Collar 1x14 (x)
