16:40 it's probably a vial of sauron's blood (we see him cut his hand a moment before) but since we are in that "dream" sequence celebrimbor thinks it's mithril. That also could explain why the 9 were so powerful on the minds of their wearers if sauron's own blood was in them

[@Scott_34]

That quote by Adar “Only blood can bind” comes to mind. It might be the thing that binds the wearers to Sauron

[@sandrosliske]

That's good. I didn't even think of that. I just assumed that he had some mithril dust leftover.

[@Carlosbbbbb1]

Yeah its not Mithril. Its his blood. Someone else said it but "only blood can bind" its just part of the illusion.

little correction here: "the gift of the valar" is actually death for the race of men. no one really knows what happens to the soul of men after death but it's implied by those who believe to be a heavenly place. the elves are quiet about it but are sometimes jealous of it. it's a really interesting idea from Tolkien reflecting his Catholic beliefs in a way.

​@anotherhappylanding4746 how is it ruined? Honestly, it doesn't actually matter of the ordering, only that Sauron did not interfere.

The three are perfect and made to heal, the seven cause avarice, and the nine fully corrupt.

[@eryniel95]

Not gonna lie, whenever I saw Sauron this episode I was screaming "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"- what he's doing to Celebrimbor (and how he's playing Mirdania) is just too much to handle. Also, did you notice how, when Adar brings out Morgoth´s crown, how Galadriel tries to move as much as possible away from it? I thought that was a nice detail. The conflict of Durin seeing his father so dependent on the ring reminds of family members watching a love one succumb to addition.

Easiest way to explain the Valar: They’re archangels. Each taking dominion over specific aspects of mortal life and death. Nature, craft, war, sea, air, order and chaos, as examples. Beneath them are lesser angels called Maiar. Corrupted Maiar under Morgoth became Balrogs or dark spirits. In Sauron’s case, he retained much of his former powers and chose to appear fair for as long as that power remained open to him.

[@MrRorza10]

The fact they shot the Great Deceiver scene with the illusion over Celebrimbor IN CAMERA is insane. Some may not like the writing or plot but it cannot be argued that this show is a technical triumph, and a visual masterpiece

Sauron and Gandalf are both Maiar. Very hard to kill. As we saw, Sauron got stabbed countless times and basically reformed himself from a pool of black blood. Gandalf fell throught the earth for what seemed like eons for him fighting a Balrog and came back. What I don't understand is how Saruman ended up dying by being stab in the back with a knife by his mortal servant and fell from his tower. He should have been a lot harder to kill.

Interesting -- I wonder if your off-hand comment about Miriel's blindness being the reason she would survive the sea snake is actually true. Seeing the creature's eye close up, it may have realized that she could not see it herself. A bit like the Greek myth of Medusa, gazing upon the snakes spells your doom, but if you are unable to gaze upon them, your life will be spared. A fascinating theory to consider.

[@yiledute]

I know the show runners are making the Rings out of order, saying the 19 weren't for the Elves to begin with, and invented this weird mithril thing for time compression purposes, and to dumb it down for the casuals, but it really does hamstring said casual audience's understanding of the power of the High Elves: the Rings were empowered by the spirits and magic (skill) of the Elves, they didn't need certain physical materials to do the work for them. They could have made them of iron and they'd still be blessed.

I still hold out hope that it isn’t. This quote doesn’t do anymore than “Always follow your nose.” In season 1 did. That basically confirmed it was Gandalf, yet I still hope. 😂

[@RetroHondo67]

Actually they changed the quote, turning from a warning about judgement and whether we should judge people to die, to one about, I guess, the needs of the many outweigh the need to save your friends? Not only weird but so not Tolkien, and given that a key theme of the LOTR is where Frodo’s pity of Gollum actually redeems him in the eyes of Eru to actually interfere and fulfill the task of destroying the ring, kinda important. Also, Tom Bombadil would never act this way. He is oldest and all knowing, and does not care about the troubles of the world. It is why they rejected the idea of giving him ring to hide in the Council of Elrond. As with all things in this show they feel it necessary to literally change the nature of all the characters, not one portrayal in this series is consistent with characters in all his works. The fact they simply ignore the character that Tolkien wrote in the adventures of Tom Bombadil is just icing on the cake, they are just using the names of people and places and trying to shoehorn modern ideas in a story that was written in the tradition of the ancient myths of Europe with a keen interest to establishing an English (uk) mythology. The shire is rural England personified, filled with seemingly unimportant people to outsiders, but actually are a stern and sturdy folk who end up saving the world. These writers are not only terrible adapters but their depiction of fantasy is so lost. They don’t understand the genre so how could they think they had the chops to tell a modern interpretation. The problem is not the DEI inclusions as there is plenty of room in the story of the 2nd age to include such characters…Tolkien actually has many different “races/tribes” of elves some who made it to Valinor and others who never saw the light of the two trees. Numenor was a gift of the Valar to the THREE tribes of men who opposed Morgoth. Also the men of the twilight includes Easterlings, Southrons and Haradrium all who likely were deceived by Sauron with the Rings of Power. They could easily have included all sorts of races as the story of the 2nd age is so broad and It just didn’t need to be this bad.

[@JeM130177]

I assumed the sea monster was the same one since they were nearish Numenor when they were found by them in s1 right? Also for Aaron, I believe it’s more a case of the Valar being a more Elven thing but the “faithful” people of Numenor have Elvish ties (such is their divide with the new king currently who is more against it, they cast out the faithful king in s1 and “elven stone” was the issue in ousting Miriel) that’s why his dude was like…well if Elendil is a faithful then we could use the valar ways to see if he should die or not. I hope I’ve understood that correctly!
