No but why is this silly show so much FUN and why am I several years late to it!!!

I love lying characters who tell the truth but only to a certain degree, so I am absolutely YELLING about Sauron flat-out TELLING Galadriel about the blood-oath to Morgoth and "I am not the hero you seek"

I especially find it really fun how you've got the little sleight of hand trick setting up Sauron behind Halbrand - the so-called kingship of the Southlands, the mystery of a crest that marks the way, the whole forge thing!! Gosh, it would have been sooooo much to go into this blind about the reveal BUT this is also really FUN.

(I've only ever read one of the LOTR books, but had a lovely time with the movies, so I am not the best at discerning whether this is a ~good~ adaption, but hooo boy am I having a lot of fun with it!!!)

#trop #.ioana rambles #no but this show was an unexpectedly fun ride #i love the duos in every storyline so far #elrond and durin #nori (and poppy) and gandalf #the starcrossed lovers in the southlands!!!#and of course galadriel and halbrand #gosh forreal this is so much fun #the best part about it so far is the capital-R Romanticism of all these lost kingdoms at the height of their glory #i know very little about the lore but!!! Numenor!!#Khazad-dûm!!!!#oh khazad-dûm was by far one of the best scenes of the show #i love me some wonder about the world #anyhow i am aware that s2 just ended and I am way behind everyone else #but it's a good time ♥️
