Just a reminder.. in the Return of the King appendices, it says that Hobbits came from 3 different types of halflings: Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides. When they settled the Shire, the Stoors stayed by the Brandywine River and thus were known as the River Folk.

[@LukeMaynard]

I'm late to this party but I'm absolutely loving the buildup of this show, even if they play fast & loose with Tolkien's time frame just so we can care about both elf characters and human characters (I think Elendil & Isildur are born around 1200 years after all this stuff about the Rings of Power in Eregion... there's no way to have the Numenor timeline and the Eregion timeline happening at the same time except to overlap them - that's where people have a sticking point to grump about. That said, it's all the little things that REALLY speak to me as a giant Tolkien nerd who almost followed him into Old English professoring/fantasy writing (sadly, the world has changed in the last 100 years). Case in point, Adar's closing line in this episode was not lost on me, even though it contains information they didn't capture in the subtitles. "Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo" is a common enough phrase among Tolkien nerds: it means "A star shines upon the hour of our meeting," and it's a traditional Elvish greeting. It's one a lot of Tolkien diehards use to greet others in the fandom. It's not just in "Elvish," but it's in Quenya in particular, the older and "higher" form of Elvish spoken by the Ñoldor, and so it's perfectly appropriate for Adar to speak as a greeting to the high-born and already ancient lady Galadriel. (There is, of course, something really heartbreaking about Adar using the phrase, as being twisted at the hands of Morgoth has largely deprived him of the ability to enjoy sunshine ever again, as we saw in Season 1). It feels snobbish to say that the "casuals" in Tolkien fandom would know this Elvish greeting. It's the kind of thing Tolkien fans quote at each other the same way Browncoats tend to quote the same five or ten classic Firefly lines at one another. But I expect a lot of Tolkien fans will have caught that. What really, REALLY jumped out at me as something I imagined was beyond the ken of the showrunners and writing team was that Adar doesn't say "Galadriel," if you listen to him. Even though the subtitles caption him as saying "Galadriel," what he actually says is "Altáriel." This name is actually from the Telerin branch of Elvish, and means something like "maiden crowned with light." It's in keeping with Galadriel's magnificent golden hair, which she inherited by way of her grandmother Indis, and would have been a rare and magnificent site among the dark-haired Telerin. It's the very old, very intimate Epessë or cognomen that would have been given to her either by her future-husband Celeborn, or by her mother Eärwen, both of whom were Telerin. Referring to Galadriel by the name bestowed on her just as she came of age is one hell of a flex on Adar's part. The name "Galadriel" is a loose Sindarin adaptation of this much older name, and the fact that Adar knows it is just a quiet reminder of how very, very, very old he is--probably older than her, if he knew the name she was given when she came of age. It also raises the question of who Adar was: The name "Adar" is simply the Sindarin word for "Father," but can also carry with it the connotation of "Lord," as it does in Sauron's nickname, "Annatar" (Ann-adar), the "Lord of Gifts." It makes me feel his Orc children just call him Lord-Father as a way of covering all their bases when determining what his name means. It may be that he was one of the Unwilling, who never went to Valinor with the Elves, but remained on the shores of Cuiviénen where the elves were eventually picked up by Morgoth and corrupted. This would place him a few generations older than Galadriel, and possibly one of the Unbegotten--the very first Elves awakened. This is deep stuff. I did not expect the show to take such great care with Tolkien's languages and names. It may not have the lasting near-perfection of Peter Jackson's trilogy, but I'll take this any day of the week over the fart jokes and gratuitously lifeless CGI of his Hobbit films. Also, Eric's kid-in-a-candy-store reactions to the reveals of Bombadil and the Entwives just fill my heart with joy. I'll have to remember my promise of eight years ago to send on a copy of my own novels, which I promised to do one day once I got here. Eight years is longer than the professional lifespan of most KZbinrs, reactors, and influencers. I'm so very glad to find you all still here, still successful at this thing.

My favorite Bombadil theory, and the one I subscribe to is that he’s the soul of the earth itself.

[@DarthDimadome]

Someone commented on another reaction video basically equating him to figures like Mother Nature or Santa Claus, which I think is a great way of characterizing him. A living manifestation of spirit and life.

Personally, I just think of him as Tolkien himself.

[@tjbfox769]

Tolkien had two ideas about the blue wizards; one where they were doing good in the east, and one where they were setting up evil magic cults. It looks like the show might be using both, and pitting the two blue wizards against each other, with one doing good and one having 'fallen' like Saruman.

[@duman173]

i know they hinted at the stranger being gandalf, but at this point i really have to think they want us to assume these are the two blues, both in rhûn and both portrayed as istar and it's a plotline that's a lot less defined that gives them room for their own interpretations

i think the stranger being gandalf is a mislead i think the stranger and the dark wizard are both blue wizards, stranger bejng Alatar (darkness slayer) and the dark wizard being Pallando (East helper) both stranger and dark wizard will be slain by eachother with the help of sauron and thats why theyre is no history of the blue wizards other than they travelled east and why even gandalf cant remember their names

[@KingAce595]

The Stranger is Olorin, a maiar from the time of the first song, and who splits himself and all his knowledge\power among 4 other beings. What remains after the split is a shadow of this being, and becomes almost a separate entity known as Mithrandir, or Gandalf. When he returns as Gandalf the White, he has reclaimed the power and knowledge he imparted in the others. This is part of why he had trouble remembering what the mortals called him, because of how much more he had to process. Furthermore, I think the Dark Wizard is gonna be the reason Olorin decides to split himself and empower other Lesser Maiar to assist him with his task.

[@Digital111]

I don't like the idea of the stranger not being Gandalf... Everyone loves Gandalf and it would suck if by the end the stranger is one of the Blue Wizards. I think he's Gandalf and will come back West after possible meeting the other Wizards.

[@KingAce595]

@@Digital111 I don't know the exact specifics, but odds are incredibly high that it's Olorin aka Pre-Gandalf

[@BigLittleSloth]

Hope Calvin is doing all okay :)

[@wtimmins]

You know what would be interesting... what if the Stranger is Saruman?

[@RangerHouston]

After this episode that’s now my main theory. Each wizard was given a mission of sorts. Gandalf’s was to be a friend and builder of communities, Radaghasts was to be a friend and nurture nature, and it was Saruman’s task specifically to lead the resistance to Sauron on Middle Earth. I think Tom Bombadil just told us exactly who he is lol

[@whysnjsjej]

He's not saruman. Saruman had been allied with Gandalf for years. I think both wizards, or at least the evil one, are blue wizards, the ones who went to the east and came to middle earth earlier than Gandalf and saruman

[@Digital111]

Why is everyone so against him being Gandalf. His friendship with the Harfoots is pretty much how he became so fond of Hobbits. He really lived among them and got to know them well... The show is throwing so many hints that it's Gandalf, I feel like it would be dumb if by the end he's just some random Blue wizard or even Saruman who never cared about the "lesser peoples"

[@DavidMachiavello]

@@Digital111 people are against it because of the previously written lore from Tolkien where gandalf doesn't show up until the third age. personally I want it to be gandalf. People are going to hate on the show either way, so just call him gandalf, and give us some cool wizard action. I'm along for the ride and want to be entertained.

[@redcardinalist]

My view is that the Dark Wizard isn't one of the 5 Istari Wizards. The timescale is I think wrong for that. In Lotr, in the Third Age, Gandalf is a member of his "order", which includes Saruman, Radagast and the other (unnamed) wizards. But that is hundreds (if not far more) years after the events in the second age that we see here. The exception to this might be if Gandalf manages to "redeem" the Dark Wizard (who perhaos turns out to be Saruman? - Now there's a thought!)

I'm pretty damn sure the dark wizard is saruman. Being so close to the stores, it would set up his distaste for hobbits.

[@steveomcgolpin4058]

a great king of gondor gifted the shire to the hobbits as they helped gondor during a war the shire was struck by a plague which killed off all the men who lived there so it was deemed unlivable and the king used it as his hunting grounds until he gifted all the open land to the hobbits and they eventually moved over from bree and it flourished

[@LordTelperion]

Although, Elven weapons are empowered and enchanted in the moment of their making, they would have been plenty strong enough to deal with the Barrow-wights.

[@ultmotive]

Theories buzzing around the Dark Wizard as being Khamul. Who eventually becomes one of the Nazgul. If it is him it's a little interesting that he's already a wizard at this point because he has no power until he obtains one of the rings. I'm kind of wondering if the stuff with the Harfoots might be on a different timeline because technically Gandalf isn't supposed to be around at this point in the story either.

[@vegvisir9276]

it is mentioned that humans can learn magic, i know the Hobbit movies aren't 100% accurate but Saruman does mention that the "Necromancer" will be nothing more than a mortal conjurer dabbling in some black magic, and im certain there are some actual mentions of stuff in Tolkiens own works about similar things, even the Dwarves can do actual magic in Tolkiens own words, "the dwarves of yore made mighty spells" is a line from the Misty Mountains song in the Hobbit

[@CCC-qy4rq]

I'm not loving the representation of Tom Bombadil. He could be a bit jollier, but the bit that stuck out to me is him telling the Stranger that Sauron and the Dark Wizard can't be allowed to join forces. That seems very out of character for Bombadil, whom Gandalf said wouldn't be a fitting guardian for the One Ring because he wouldn't appreciate the gravity of the need, because he takes no interest in the affairs of the world outside of his very localised relationship with the earth and nature. Kudos for bringing him to the screen at last though.

How can people like this show? It makes no sense at all. They have broken the lore so much I won't find it surprising if they make Tom Bombadil either fight or get engaged in some kind of plot to kill Sauron even though Tolkien was clear to say he is a mistery and he doesn't get engaged in any conflict or outside troubles at all. Note: Anyone can like it. I am just impressed to see that a few people do. It's kinda weird to me. I wouldn't be able to like a show that makes characters so dumb like super old and experienced elves that can't tell what is in front of them, a married Galadriel (whose husband is nowhere to be seen and has a kind of "will they, won't they?" With the enemy) that could judge people's intentions not being able to judge even obvious intentions and so on. Halbrand in a wig fooling elves? How much are people able to excuse? Characters that say "we won't leave anyone behind except everyone who can delay us a little no matter how hurt they are".

No one has reacted to the grand elf bit. Am I missing something here?

[@Digital111]

Same! I was looking forward to seeing their reaction to Grand-Elf... they either didn't notice or whoever edited this forgot to put it in... I also wanted to see them react to the story of the "promised shire"

It's a pretty subtle line. I didn't catch it in my reaction either.
