yeah i was expecting more of the last episode, it just didnt do anything

much better episode this week

Saaaaake, yet another episode where basically nothing happens. The plot basically meandered at a standstill, there was no particular character development...

All this one actually achieved was the discovery of more Mithril, and the SHOCKING REVEALATION that the Southlands are now Mordor. Both of which could have fitted into last episode, at the expense of the awful stretched out dialogue.

I mean, I get the writers are trying to sound Shakespearean, and fit the dialogue to poetic rhythm, but... they suck at it :joker:

Side note, the sexy evil elf is more likeable than any of the so-called protagonists. His motivation is he wants to give "his children" a home.
Galadriel's motivation? She wants to torture him, keep him alive and taunt him with the deaths of all "his children", before finally slaying him... that's not heroic, that's evil.
And worse, that's not Galadriel. The actual Galadriel would either slay him on the spot, or imprisoned him. When Gollum was in the custody of the Wood Elves, he was treated very kindly indeed. So it might even help him to repent, and tell her things which would help...

i gave up on this episode half way through :laugh:

It's over, and it still sucks :joker:

Eight episodes with so much plotless meandering, the actual story could have been told in three. Ugly elf wasn't in this one, and I can't even remember where he went :laugh: the Harfoots were pointless, their story didn't connect to the main plot at all.

Even the directors were crap. Nothing felt significant, moments of padding were given as much weight as the important bits.

i didnt watch it this week after abandoning it last week

How Strange

I am the same.

Must be something about this series
that has failed?

I've watched the first 2 episodes and so far I think it's decent.

It hasn't blown my mind away, but the worldbuilding and the mystery around who Sauron is, is interesting me personally.
