Rings of Power, S1 E5

Ok fine, it’s sucking me in. One more episode tonight.

• “I’m… peril.” Oh buddy. 
• MAP TRANSITION
• Wait, they’re going through the Grey Marshes? Why are they going east? The Harfoots migrated west.
• Oh, fuck you for getting the quote wrong. It’s “Not all those who wander are lost.” (emphasis mine) But it’s definitely making me believe the comet dude is definitely Gandalf.
• Who are these people? Not the Blue Wizards, right?
• Fuck yeah, Bronwyn! FIGHT THE POWER!
• Ohhhhh nooooooo creepy old Sauron-worshipping dude.
• Ok, let’s see WTF is happening with this Númenor thing. 
• Ok, Halbrand is an extremely skilled smith. He’s definitely Sauron, right?
• Malva is kiiiiind of a bitch.
• These are the worst looking “wolves” I’ve ever seen. 
• HULK SMASH
• LOLOL, Galadriel is schooling these kids.
• Ok, so now Gandalf? is Frozone? 
• Oh shit, Gil-Galad. 
• Is During bullshitting about the rock table?
• Wait, is that story about the origin of mithril actually from the books?
  • No, no it is not.
• Welp, there goes that boat. But how the hell did it explode like that?
• Why did they make Gil-Galad a dick in this show?
• Eärendil wasn’t a mortal man! He was half-elven!
• Maybe Halbrand isn’t Sauron?
• “I pledge my loyalty to Sauron… You are Sauron, are you not?” LOLOLOLOL
• Theo finally showed someone the janky sword!
• Yeah, I can’t think of another way to get you out of this.
• NAMPAT! OOO AHH OOO!
• LOLOL, Durin was bullshitting. 😂 
• This “mithril is the only thing that can save us” storyline is dumb.
• Ok, creeper Gil-Galad.
• Ooooo, Halbrand is going back! 
• How did Galadriel get her armor back? (She certainly got her groove back, though)

Ok, so even though I’ve thought he’s Sauron on and off, I really like Halbrand. I don’t like the mithril plot line.
