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
DAYTHEO - 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.
