So I'm assuming the top image is Círdan in the First Age, possibly during the youth of Eärendil or Elrond (in the text he was a father figure to Eärendil and that role might be switched to Elrond for the show), and the bottom image is him during the Second Age, looking a lot older, but not as old as he'll look by the end of the Third Age (he's only just getting started on that beard).

The Rings of Power 2.07
Neither of us was strong enough. There might not be anyone in Middle-earth who is. But perhaps, the Elves need only remember that it is not strength that overcomes darkness, but light. Armies may rise, hearts may fail, yet still, light endures and is mightier than strength. For in its presence, all darkness must flee. Namarië.

I just watched episode 8, and I honestly feel very bad; I feel sad. I can't accept that Adar died. He just wanted his Uruk to be free and live in peace. I thought we'd see more about his past or at least tell him what his old name was... We weren't even given that.
Galadriel could have helped him at least kill some orcs...
On the other hand I'm surprised that Arondir is as if nothing had happened, not even a scratch.

My view on the Elrond/Galadriel kiss:
Cultures be different.
Kisses on the lips are not always sexual/romantic. (I, as an American, have kissed certain friends on the lips in completely platonic ways)
In many cultures, closed-mouthed kisses on the lips are a sign of love and emotional connection in a platonic/familial way.
Specifically American aversion to affection in any form is rotting people's brains - here, a lot of men won't even HUG each other because they think it's 'too intimate'. Other cultures kiss on the hand, cheek, forehead, nose, and yes, lips too, in completely platonic ways. [And we're not even going to get into the large portion of the population who thinks that men and women literally CANNOT be just friends, if a man and woman are close, it HAS to be romantic/sexual.]
Just because YOUR culture/personal preference reserves lip kisses for romantic/sexual feelings only doesn't mean everyone else is wrong for feeling differently.
I didn't read the kiss as Elrond secretly having romantic feelings for Galadriel at all - to me it was clear it was a platonic show of how much he cared for her and how sorry he was that they had been at odds all season (and largely in S1 too) and was afraid it was really going to be the last time he saw her. He wanted to show her just how much she meant to him - PLATONICALLY - and a tender kiss (while also using it as a distraction to slip her a lock-pick) was the way he did it.
Obviously it's ok for people to interpret it as romantic if they ship Galadriel and Elrond, but to say that's the ONLY interpretation based on your own limited cultural understanding of what a kiss could mean is just frustrating.
#rop spoilers#trop spoilers#rings of power#the rings of power#rop s2 e7#idk what else to tag this because LORD I do not want to book-only lotr fans to have something to say about this#if you like viewing the kiss as romantic - go for it!#if you don't like any romance between galadriel and elrond - there are platonic reasons people kiss#You could even see it as solely Elrond giving a distraction for slipping her the lock pick and nothing else whatsoever#Honestly my first thought was that he slipped Nenya to her in her mouth but hey - the point is that the kiss served multiple purposes#idk - ppl getting genuinely upset about it is giving me the ick and making me think they're actually just xenophobic#gonna repeat: cultures be different

The creators of Rings of Power have said that they have a five season plan for the show and are going to stick to it. Knowing what happens in the Second Age, this is how I think that might play out.
Warning: Book Spoilers Ahead
Season 3
This is where Sauron will fully establish himself as the new Dark Lord, taking full control of Mordor, recruiting the Nine, building Barad-dûr built, and waging The War of the Elves and Sauron, culminating in Númenor coming to the aid of the Elves at the decisive Battle of the Gwathló (supposed to be the biggest battle of Middle Earth after the War of Wrath), and Sauron being taken back as a prisoner by Ar-Pharazôn. We'll also see the founding of Rivendell and the eventual siege by Sauron.
Season 4
Sauron's imprisonment on, and eventual corruption of Númenor, leading to the destruction of the entire island and the escape of the Faithful. Think we'll also see Lothlórien under King Amdír and how Galadriel eventually comes to settle and rule there. Might also see the establishment of the Black Númenorian colonies in the south prior to the island's fall.
Season 5
The establishment of the Kingdoms in Exile (although I can see them starting the season with a time skip over that part) and finally the War of the Last Alliance and Sauron's first defeat, possibly ending with the Disaster of the Gladden Fields.
These are just the main events, of course. I'm sure the writers will have to invent a lot stuff for all the characters to do since there are so many big gaps as Tolkien never really fleshed out the Second Age like he did with the First and Third.

Getting distinct Interview With The Vampire vibes from Adar (nearly) taking out Sauron.
Adar: Good night, sweet Prince. May flights of devils wing thee to thy rest.
Sauron: Then on a diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississipi, Lestat became something like himself again.

Thinking about Celebrimbor. How he is so good and so gentle and he walks into a horrible lonely torment when he could have been saved but this, this is what he can do now. He can stand with his people to the last. He can make sure that Sauron does not get his hands on the rings. And I think, there’s a way that the way he dies is via his own hand, to prevent Sauron forcing the knowledge from his mind and I will cry.

#listen I AM IN PAIN#tv: rings of power#trop spoilers#(just in case for non book readers)#i also genuinely believe sauron does not want to do this#he wants celebrimbor by his side#(he is Not Going To Be Happy About It for a whole number of reasons)

It begs the question if every fantasy book needs to be adapted for television.
