The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Recap: My Dinner with Adar


In a week with big developments, the long dinner conversation between Galadriel and Adar makes for the episode’s best moments.

Arondir probably did not assume he was done dealing with orcs after the eruption of Mount Doom and the evacuation of the Southlands, but the post-eruption break must have been nice (not that the Wild Men were a picnic). As if to confirm something’s wrong he reveals he’s forgotten Mirdania’s name as Sauron makes his entrance and delivers some troubling news: his subjects want to have a frank discussion with him. • Without giving too much away, the sudden reveal of an alternate reality at the end of the episode suggests the influence of Rose Glass’s great 2019 horror film Saint Maud, starring The Rings of Power ’s own Morfydd Clark.
