After a first episode in which the conflict to come was unclear, this second episode follows along four main threads, with various challenges to face.
Galadriel is... Swimming. For a while. Must have been quite interesting to shoot. She meets a group of people that do not last long, and a big fish quite hungry. I am very curious about the man she meets. Another lost king, like Aragorn? Is his kingdom where Sauron waits? Will we go there? I'll need a map to get who is going where honestly ahaha. From previous trailers I have some good ideas on who they are about to meet, and I am excited about that.
Nori and Poppy have my favorite arc this episode. The man they have found is soooo mysterious. With little lore knowledge, I have only vague hypothesis on who he could be, but he got magic and is dangerous, so there's that. The scene with the fire and the results of the meteor was soooo pretty. Also Nori and Poppy have the best relationship developed so far in the show. They are hilarious!
Elrond needs to help that other elf (... I am very suspicious about what he will do with his new forge), so went to see his friend Durin. Khazad Dum was absolutely splendid. And the music when Elrond got there? The percussion? Amazing. Durin's wife (Disa?) was great, I'm guessing we'll see her do some singing and this will be magestic. What was that light at the end? One of the two lights? Something else?
Alrondir and Bronwyn are interesting so far. What was in those tunnels? Why are they being made? And can Theo stop playing with Sauron's sword???
Overall a great episode, kept me entertained and invested, with many questions to see answered. Can't wait for the next episode!
