The Rings of Power Season-Finale Recap: A Stranger No More!
The finale puts a nice cap on a pretty good season and leaves the series plenty of room to explore.
Back in the East, Nori considers the ruins of the stoor village as Poppy, again playing the Samwise Gamgee role, launches into a monologue waxing philosophical about the state of things. Specifically, Poppy focuses on loss, as a montage unfolds that doubles as a catalog for the devastation wrought by recent events: in Khazad-dûm, Durin IV and Disa lead the dwarves in mourning the loss of their king, Elrond gazes at the ruins of Eregion, Theo looks on as Pelargir falls under military command (leading Isildur and Estrid to clasp hands), Miriel stands before Pharazôn and listens to whatever lies he hurls at her, and Elendil gazes back at Numenor as he rides away. As for the other issue, the long shadow cast by both the Peter Jackson films and the more fully fleshed-out Middle-earth stories of Tolkien’s original novel, season two did not seem too worried about this, opting instead just to run with it.
