Rings of Power S2 teaser impressions:

Somehow Sauron has returned (to Eregion, in a wig).

Annatar has bad bitch energy. The smirk?!

Galadriel stays looking fine as hell. (The braided crown?!)

Elrond out here proving he still has the best hair, my godddd.

Amazon once again only showing Gil-galad’s hand. (But look at all those rings). Give. The. Best. High. King. Of. The. Noldor. Something. To. Do. Let him punch someone with his fancy brass knuckles, I beg you.

Primordial slithering darkness.

Arondir 😍

King of the Dead!Theo seems likely.

Wizards wizarding in Rhûn.

Still no Celeborn. (I just want to see Celebrían and Elrond fall in love, is that too much to ask??)

Brimby throwing rings into the fire 👀

Shit’s going down in Númenor.

ROP Season 2 Finale Predictions: Sauron

trop predictions for season 2 episode 8

again just my own head canon and wild speculation with spoilers of season 2 up through ep 7 and some of the released marketing of the finale.

Sauron (and Haladriel)

Sauron survives. We know he will fight Galadriel from the teasers. He’s at least holding Morgoth’s crown.

he is clearly hunting for the nine rings. In the book canon he tortures Celebrimbor for it. I think that happens and since Galadriel has the rings it seems obvious that will drive the confrontation.

how he gets there I’m not sure, does he defeat Adar? Does Adar have a change of heart and some opportunity to give Galadriel the crown and Nenya?

the safest bet is to me is Sauron takes the Uruk army from Adar, and gets the crown and the ring. Likely killing Adar unless Adar can run away and maybe become an Elf again.

is Galadriel fighting to survive and protect the rings or is she the one chasing Sauron, as she swore to do in season 1?

my best guess. Sauron and Galadriel are evenly matched to a degree they stop fighting and talk. I think they will try to make him more villain coded this season and he’ll lie about what he did to Eregion or try to woo her to the darkness, maybe he will offer to trade Nenya for the Nine (if he got it from Adar?). Somehow she does get Nenya and either they break canon by making her the one to distribute his rings to the mortal men doomed to die or more likely he is getting away with the nine.

I think he then discards the Annatar form and takes on a Halbrand version to work on giving out the rings to men. This is the image of Halbrand Galadriel sees in her vision. It comes when he has the Nine after they’ve fought.

as for Haladriel, I would love to be surprised by something more, I just think what we might get would be some interesting words in the fight, from either of them admitting their feelings were real but still wanting to fight the other regardless, that could go both ways, Galadriel for her oath and revenge for her people, Sauron to get what he wants back. At the end of the day neither can kill the other, would it be by their own choice or will a deus ex machina save one of them? I hope we get one more Sauron choosing good moment to obsess over for the next two years.

it would be hilarious if Sauron does physically give Galadriel Nenya. Imagine the image of the Dark Lord putting on an engagement ring on her? (Platonically) 💍😍

@shady-swan-jones pointed out how the ROP Season 2 Teaser had a scene of Halbrand looking angry and sad. He had freakin' teary eyes. It also seemed like he was alone and gazing into some kind of fire (I headcanon that looking into his element centers him). That just adds to the evidence despite his outward smugness, Galadriel's rejection of his marriage proposal really hurt him. He's going to try to hide his hurt, but he definitely is not over her, or ready to let her go.

I noticed that too. Plus, we got the bts video now showing Halbrand/Sauron showing back up in Mordor in the same outfit he was wearing in the s1 finale. And we know he'll be in the Halbrand form in scenes with the human characters too like Theo as he was spotted on set with them. So I'm curious why he'll switch to Annatar and got back to Eregion as he'll still be looking like Halbrand for a while too. But yeah he's clearly upset about it.
