Rings of Power Season 2 - Eldest Thoughts

"We have tended this forest since before the mountains rose up and divided it. When the only sound here was the light upon the moss... And the breathing of the leaves. Yes. We know peace." Winterbloom.

"I think, um...Rorimas never found the Sûzat. And after a while...we just kept wanderin'. We don't have a home." Nori Brandyfoot

Tom Bombadil is such a noice ray of sunshine in such a dark season. He provides a wise whimsical charm and even his hut is an oasis in the desert. He also acts as a good guide for the Stranger and encourages him to face the two evils.

The Barrow Wights (they apparently appeared earlier than in the books) was pretty creepy and definitely a case of that big budget haha. It's also noice to see an Asian Elf (Rian) in the Middle-Earth universe.

The community spirit in the Southland people is wholesome to see after the division in S1. It was also nice to see the aqueduct fixed. We're slowly building this colony up to become the future Gondor. Also props to Arondir for catching onto Estrid for her brand. Idildur has a strong sense of trust and seeing someone abuse that is hard to see. I'm still not sure if Estrid is still playing a long game or if she genuinely reformed by the end of the episode.

Poppy and Merimac seem to be a wholesome romance in the works...and Nori is the third wheel lmao. Sadoc or rather Rorimas coming from the Stoors branch of the Harfoots is such a nice development and further explains the Wandering song since it's supposed to lead him back to his original home. Seeing Nori realize that Sadoc never found the homeland for both the Stoors and Harfoots was heartbreaking. It really sets the stone for the Shire being the ideal home for them all. Also, I love how the song Concerning Stoors is a reference to Concerning Hobbits.

Snaggleroot and Winterbloom grieving over the death of the forests is another instance of Adar's and Sauron's darkness spreading over Middle-Earth. I also like the parallels between their grief to Arondir's grief.

I love to see Arondir and Theo (The Lord of Pelargir) reconcile once again and now they accepted their roles in the upcoming conflict. I hope they reunite.

Elrond sees Galadriel for what she does. She does it for the Rings but she also does it to destroy Sauron. At what point will she lose her soul and become just as bad as Sauron? We also got a pretty badass entrance for Adar.

ALSO OLD TOM BOMBADIL SONG IN THE END CREDITS HAD ME OBSESSED EVER SINCE THE S2 OST CAME OUT.
