I loved this episode, it reminded me a bit of the politics of Game of Thrones but in a different way. Numenor really, as you say, is something that needs to be improved, but in this episode we finally see how the decline began and how greed begins to overflow, like a tsunami coming from the sea. LOL, the part about the dwarves and elves was fantastic. I loved this manipulation, this beginning of the dwarves' fall also due to their greed, which is much greater in them. With each light that illuminated the darkness, as you said, penetrating the mountain again, it was like each initial fracture that will bring about the total collapse. Man, I loved the episode. If it weren't for all these people being blinded by irrationality, there would be a lot more people talking about this series without wanting to be so toxic and meaningless, heuehe.

This episode did a good job at demonstrating the different effects of each of the Rings of Power. The Elves used their three to preserve their kingdoms and we able to avoid Sauron's temptations. The Dwarves will not fall under Sauron's influence because they're too stubborn, but the Seven Rings did increase their love of gold, causing them to build up hoards massive enough to attract dragons (like what will happen to Erebor in the Third Age) or in the case of Khazadum (the Dwarves dug too deep and too greedily, unleashing Durin's Bane). Ultimately, 3 of the 7 will be consumed by dragons and the rest will be reclaimed by Sauron. And finally, the Men who will be given the Nine Rings will become the Nazgul.

The watcher lives in a small pool outside of the western Walls of Moria, not in the tunnels underneath Khazad-dûm.

@@emmanaess2860 It could also be a Red Haring. We know that the creature in the tunnels is Durin's Bane. There is nothing to debate there. But the scene where Gisa encounters the sound... those were pools of water. And the sounds that were bounced back to her were similar to the sounds the watcher makes. While the Watcher is known and first encountered to be at the gates of Durin outside Moria, this could be where it originated from. That it was beneath the mountain originally. The ring, while helping the dwarves, is also guiding them to their doom. The lake outside the gates of Duren did not exist until after the doors were sealed. And it is suggested that the creature could have been awoken by the dwarves just like how Durin's Bain is awoken. It is also suggestive that the Watcher was awoken by Sauron's growing power. All that said, it could be one or the other, or both. No way to tell at the moment until we see how it all unfolds.

If case anyone has confusion, there was no Watcher in that water. The water moved because of the low vibration movements of the Balrog beneath the bottom of that pond. Remember that the sound design team used a moving cinderblock as the sounds of the balrog and pitched it down.

This is the frist episode of this season that was enjoyable. And I think I have finally figured out why because looking through the episode catalog of both seasons, it is now clear to me that the less I see of Gladriel in a episode the better I like that episode and i so wanted not to admit that last season. The one thing I'm still not sure of is wether it is the writing for her character or the blandness of the actress. I really hope its the writing because that can be improved but the actor can't be replaced at this stage probably. Or just minimize her role in the show, there are so many other interesting characters and storylines in the show, just focus on them.

We don't get to see anything what's happening in the world. Only boring dialogues from the same boring actors with looong meaningful looks covering they basically talk about the same shit all over again :D Cruel white guy numenor Joffrey was my personal highlight

This episode was actually good….until the ending. Every time I get so close to liking this show, it does a 180.

I feel like the ending sets up an interesting plot line. I was hard on some of the show’s weak points in the past (including the previous episode) but I don’t really see the ending as bad until we see what it sets up/leads to

the movies while having very depressing or sad moments still always felt like theres a little bit of positive or hope

@@MrAchsasI do understand, though in fairness….they are not going to succeed in a lot of the paths set up in this series..as we know by the existence of Lord of the Rings 😂. The men being loyal with Elendil was nice, there is some hope there. And I suppose we didn’t have much Elrond or Arondir or Harfoots this episode. So I suppose it’s just a balance of characters and storylines we got the slightly more depressing end. If there’s 8 episode it probably feels about right for episode 5 to be “oh god everything is just getting worse” 😅

This show creating an alternate universe would be most welcomed by those of us that don’t like this show…. Might actually help us enjoy it a bit😮

To be fair Amazon sort of hinted this wasn't going to be exactly like the books and more of its own thing that takes place before the movies. Pulling inspiration from random Tolkien things instead. Which in that case, is why i am ok with the show. I just think of it as the "LOTRFranchiseVerse" instead.
