The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Recap: Ent It Cool?


A busy episode manages to bring in some old favorites from Tolkien and the Jackson films.

The discovery of corpses and severed limbs seemingly does not bode well, but Isildur and Arondir hold out hope and, at the suggestion of Estrid, they decide to head north. This seems to soften Elrond’s view of the ring, which is good because Galadriel hands it off to him as she effectively gives herself up as a prisoner to protect her companions (but not before taking out an impressive number of orcs in the process). All that and it still finds room to bring in some old favorites from Tolkien and the Jackson films, from characters to that overhead shot of Galadriel leaning back in the saddle as a sword just barely misses her.
