The Rings of Power on Prime Video: Recap of the episode where Galadriel is happy riding on a horse and looking in the wind

Rings of Power Episode 3! Generic with cryptic little syllables, but which actually mean something.

Arondir, kidnapped in a tunnel he had gone to investigate, wakes up exhausted, picked up by two dogs. He’s with the orcs, those charming creatures that growl and steal a glance from Mad Max. He finds his comrades, also kidnapped and enslaved, digging trenches.

Another wakes up the angst, it’s Galadriel. He is on the ship with Halbrand. The boy is still sarcastic towards the elf, who doesn’t seem to share his sense of humor. They are among the military who look at Galadriel as if she came from the moon. Not hostile, but not friendly either. and enter the great city of Númenor, a mix between Angkor and Mount Rushmore, but in lush vegetation.

Reception is cold. Which leads to a little history lesson from Mistress Galadriel to Student Halbrand: During the Great War, Halbrand’s ancestors sided with Morgoth; of men Noúmenor were with the elves. As a reward the Valar gave them this island. The end of the story, just as Elendil – the captain of the ship – comes to take them away to present them to the queen.

Sublime decorations in an atmosphere between Central Asia and the Middle East. And always Elle Deco is on my mind. Faced with Queen Regent Miriel, Galadriel is still in the mood for revenge and is understandably annoyed by the prying eyes on her. Galadriel comes to the gathering with long titles to say that she is not anyone. and casually asks to leave the boat dry as well.

A historical debate begins between Galadriel and Kacheler Farazon about history Noúmenor. Not everyone seems to agree on the issue, which is causing some tension… Like a good diplomat, Halbrand cuts Galadriel a quid and offers to stay for a few days. The proposal was accepted, Galadriel opposed. But Halbrand regained the point with Galadriel behind a dagger stolen from Elendil’s waist. Smart boy.

Head to Isildur, son of Elendil, who is a sailor like his father. At least younger. He looks at his land from a distance and we hear a woman’s voice whispering his name. Wouldn’t we be? odyssey Homer’s? Was Isildur really the voice of Ulysses and the Sirens? We’re quickly brought back to reality with Valandil, a cadet and Isildur’s friend doing everything with a rope.

the landscapes of Noúmenor is so beautiful it looks like an issue of National Geographic. The cadets who came to Earth already dream of becoming officers. To welcome Isildur and Maud to the beach. He kisses… the horse!

Meanwhile, Miriel receives Elendil in a private audience. And Miriel questions the loyalty of her soldier who brought Galadriel back to the kingdom. To test him, he asks her to do him a favor by giving him a sword…none of this is good.

In the southern lands Arondir seeks a way out of this hell among the orcs. The other elves notice that the orcs have found a leader they respect, a successor to Morgoth named Adar. The plan is simple: get out of the trench when the sun is at its highest – because the orcs would be ersatz vampires – and find help. But the orcs catch them planning a coup and everything goes wrong.

Being a good sadist, the orc plays placation and offers a drink to the three elves. Just when they least expect it, he seizes the opportunity to slit one of their throats. Annoyed, Arondir then offers to cut down the huge tree blocking the moat.

that NoMeanwhile, Galadriel searches for a way to go to Tangent, but finds herself imprisoned by Elendil. Although he’s quite kind, he pulls out a dagger to make things right. He realizes that she is not hostile to him when he speaks to her in the Elvish language, the language he learned, where he grew up. A place where Elendil offers him to discover.

And here is our Galadriel, childishly happy, ears in the wind, riding on her white horse.

Also in Númenor, Halbrand tries to blend in and tries to work as a blacksmith. white cabbage. Without a corporation brooch, no forgery is allowed. Halbrand goes to heal his grief at an inn, where a group of blacksmiths come with him. Smart offers Halbrand to thank them for the round. And he takes advantage of the joy to steal the famous brooch from the apron of one of them.

A sequel is inevitable. A good beating is all well and proper, but it’s Halbrand who puts him in the four or five fellow lot with arm-breaking sequences.

In the lands of Elendil, Galadriel does research in the library. There he discovers that the Mark of Sauron is not a ring, but actually a map of the southern lands. He realizes that Sauron plans to raise him up and that the Southlands are just a prelude to his plan.

Among the Pivelus, we sing, dance and prepare for migration. But Nori’s father still cannot walk with his broken leg. As for Nori, she is still infatuated with the stranger. He sneaks into Sadoc’s to consult his grimoire, which collects constellation maps.

On the eve of the great departure, the Pivelous organize a vigil, a non-stop ritual before the migration. Zadok gives a beautiful speech that catches everyone’s eye, quoting those who didn’t survive the previous migration. Just then, a stranger approaches to consult the constellation map that Nori “borrowed” from Sadok. This great clumsiness sets fire to Pivellus’ tents and causes general panic.

General Council. Norris all raised their hangers. He and his family are at risk of being ostracized. Zadok’s judgment falls: they are not excluded, but will pass the way at the end of the caravan, which means their condemnation, especially when the father cannot lead their caravan.

Return to Númenor. Elendil has a family dinner with Isildur and Erien, the latter’s sister. A dinner that quickly goes awry when Isildur tells her father to postpone her officer exam. Elendil bursts into agony and orders his son to go to an upcoming meeting. But Isildur takes the opportunity to look away for a moment to leave.

In the evening, Galadriel goes to pay a courtesy call on Halbrand in his cell, announcing that she has discovered his true identity. He is simply the king of his people in the southern countries. He offers her an alliance between the two heirs to right the wrongs of their families who made wrong choices. He never lets go.

As for Miriel, she goes to her father, who we learned was locked in a tower in Númenor because he was allied with the elves. He makes this intriguing statement:The moment we dreaded has arrived. The elf is there.“

The Piveluses began to migrate. An ill-initiated affair for Brandyfoot when the father has no qualms about putting one foot in front of the other. Just as they are about to lose all contact with the others ahead, a stranger arrives and offers help with one word: “friend“A little fun on Irish music.

Among the orcs, this is the hour of rebellion of the elves, who seek to break free from their chains. Seeing that they are losing the upper hand, the orcs pull out their weapon of mass destruction, the Warg. A very ugly creature that looks like a hyena. Arondir managed to incapacitate him long enough for his former captain to climb to the top of the moat. But when he reaches the top, he is cut by two arrows.

Arondir is overtaken by orcs who intend to cut him down. But one of them avoids him and orders him to be taken to Adar. The one mentioned at the beginning of the episode. The figure approaches as the orcs lean into its path. The picture is blurry, but we’re guessing it’s not an orc. Could it be an elf? The answer (maybe) in the next episode!
