Still from Rings of Power S1 E4

I think I’ve got one more episode in me tonight.

Liveblog for initial watch-through of Rings of Power S1 E4

I’ve put my initial thoughts as I was watching in the main bullets, and then pulled out any additional info I added afterward into sub-bullets.

Needless to say, spoilers abound.

  • Ok, I think we can skip the intro this time.
  • BABIES!
  • Ruh roh. Rumbling is bad.
  • The leaves blowing in, that’s not foreshadowing at all.
  • OH SHIT, that’s a fucking WAVE.
  • Oh, a dream. Damn. 
  • Al-Pharazôn, it’s not the elves you need to worry about.
  • Who is this dude who’s got the hots to Ëarion?
  • Lady, you’re speaking to the wrong people about fighting against Sauron. 
  • Oh snap, Galadriel.
  • Oh DARN, I’m off the Sea Guard! Oh wait, my friends too.
  • Ok, so that’s Adar. But WTF is he?
  • Every village from here to… Orodruin!
  • I see Theo’s still got that janky sword. 
  • Disa is lying, isn’t she.
  • Haha, yes, yes she is.
  • So wait, where is Durin living currently? Because Elrond and Celebrimbor were in Lindon with Gil-Galad, right? And now he’s magically with Durin in Khazad-dûm? 
    • Ohhhhhh, were Elrond and Celebrimbor already living in Eregion? That would make WAY more sense.
  • It is mithril. I knew it!
  • Pace, pace, pace, pace, pace
  • This dude is definitely Sauron. “Figure out what she fears most, give her what she needs to master it, and then master her.” Yep, that sounds just about right.
  • PALANTIR
  • “I will not second-guess the gods.” Ummmm, that is precisely why Númenor fell. What the hell were the writers thinking with that line?
  • “Where’s Theo?” “I fucking left him because the sun went behind a cloud.”
  • Yes, go through the center of town where it’s lit up. Good job, kid.
  • What happened to Theo’s leg?
  • Oh, that smirk. He’s boned.
  • ARONDIR SAVES THE DAY THEO
  • More Legolasery – really? Grabbing an arrow out of the air?
  • Bronwyn, what are you thinking???
  • Here comes the sun, doo doo doodoo! Crispy orcs, coming right up!
  • Is this a dwarf funeral?
  • Damn, she’s got a set of lungs on her. She’s making the whole place rumble.
  • Oh, not a funeral. Good.
  • In this episode: Daddy issues
  • LOL, Elrond and Durin.
  • Awwww, Durin’s dad is a good dude.
  • Theo, maybe you should tell someone about your janky sword.
  • Ok creepy old Sauron-worshipping guy.
  • Galadriel is big mad at Míriel.
  • More petals from the white tree. FORESHADOWING.
  • Wait, what the fuck is going on? Míriel didn’t go to Middle-earth, Pharazôn did. And it wasn’t to bring Galadriel back to the elves, it was to fuck up Sauron.

Ok, I’m confused at where this is heading.
