The final episode opens with the region of Green Woods and the Stranger, who, like a Middle-earth Isaac Newton, falls on an apple and is instantly revealed: he remembers Pivelu Nor’s words to him: he is not a threat. And he does good.
This epiphany is interrupted precisely by the appearance of Nori, but not really, it’s the Three Magicians (a group led by Eminem’s hair lookalike)! They inform the stranger that he is Sauron and that they have come to serve him. “What? He was Sauron after all?”, we think. Generic.
Among the elves, it’s the return of Galadriel on horseback in slow motion after a very awkward scene in episode 3 that’s already a meme. Because this time he is not smiling, we forgive him. Celebrimbor and Elrond despair that they have no solution to present to High King Gil-galad. Galadriel arrives with Halbrand who is badly injured having crossed Middle Earth on horseback and dies, great!
(e) round table
Without further ado, Halbrand, apparently recovered, arrives at the Great Blacksmith Celebrimbor’s workshop and tutors him in blacksmithing, suggesting that he might still consider using the mithril alloy (we’re summarizing). Realizing that no one is talking to him about the 90s boy band, Celebrimbor takes an interest.
has Númenor, Earien is chosen among others to paint King Tar-Palantir before his death. Except that the jump-scare after that makes us think the old man is hallucinating and taking the designer for his daughter Miriel. He warns her of the coming destruction of the island. There he tells her where Palantir is and… the rest in season 2!
Season 2 Palantir
Back to the Elves, where Celebrimbor starts making troublesome remarks, which startles Galadriel. He speaks of having “power over the flesh.” A huge mistake, Galadriel said something is wrong and we are starting to move away from the idea of keeping the Elves immortal.
He tells himself that wearing the “I’m King” badge of the Southern states ultimately requires verification before it’s believed. But hey, a little late because by episode 7, anyone could think of it.
Meanwhile, in the green forest: Isaac Newton / The Stranger thinks he might be Sauron because the three wizards look pretty convincing. Some woodworms approached the scene, but the witches noticed! Fight and Zadok is killed. Not really, because he gets up, hurts the wizard, then watches the sun rise for 5 seconds and finally dies.
Zadok goes to the rising sun
At the same time, the stranger realizes, after Nori tells him that you are defined by your actions, that he may be full of goodness after all, and that he is probably not Sauron. The wizards can’t get past the ambiguity of this script, throwing Tolkien fans without the word “Istar,” which may further suggest that the stranger may be hiding Gandalf.
Away from these thoughts, Queen Miriel’s ship arrives in Númenor, and Elendil hears from the black banners of the ships that the king is dead. Blinded from episode 6, Miriel doesn’t notice, and Elendil seems to find out (see his telling face below). The king is dead, but what will happen to the Númenóreans? Next up in season 2!
– “My queen, are you blind then?” – “Yes, there are already 2 episodes.”
Seeing that the forge of the magical object envisioned by Celebrimbor is not breaking down, Halbrand decides to take matters into his own hands and offers a final piece of advice, while Galadriel receives confirmation that IThere is no king of the southern lands. But who is Halbrand? The adversary sends Galadriel to a fantasy world and tries to corrupt it with the appearance of her dead brother. low blow
As he quite logically realizes that his dead brother cannot speak to him, Halbrand then places him, as at the beginning of the series, alone with him on a raft. Then it is certain: the former king of the southern lands is none other than Sauron. The latter declares to him that he would see himself dominating all of Middle-earth next to an elf in a very beautiful water.
“Let’s be Aquaman and Mera of Middle Earth”
The conversation does not go as he had hoped, and Galadriel chokes. He was then found (rescued from the waters?) by Elrond. From then on, he decides to forge not one or two rings, but three, so that balance can be achieved between the holders of the magic rings.
In Greenwood, the stranger – who is on the side of good, remember – decides to travel to Rhûn, a region of Middle-earth relatively neglected by Tolkien himself, and which the screenwriters intend to use without inventing their own stories. Shamed by fans.
Remember Norris’ old bearded man who went on a surprise trip with the hobbit?
Nori decides to go with him because the hobbit and the bearded man going on adventures just like us, it reminds him of something. He says goodbye to his family. long time. Really long, 10 minutes in total. Then he goes on the road with his favorite Istar and the continuation of the second season!
And finally, if the Adar or dwarves and the conflict between Durin III and his son Durin IV are the big absences of this episode (a continuation of Season 2), the elves finally form their three rings with more and more “Golum” under the gaze esque” by Celebrimbor!
Celebrimbor and his “Golumic” face
We witness the smith, Galadriel, and Elrond dueling in contented glances, but we still get to Halbrand/Sauron’s Eye where we can see the Mount of Doom as it descends into Mordor… and that’s the end. He sings “Ring Verse” in the credits. To be firmly continued in… (wait for it…) season 2!
