    It's average imo too many things going on.

    wtf House of the dragon is miles better than this absolute shite. Such a waste of a massive budget this show. Looks great, that's about it.

    If House of the Dragon gets any slower, it will grind to a halt. Paddy Considine could easily be replaced by a sloth.

    I enjoy both for different reasons I see no reason to compare them.

    I think they were in the films as well, so probably some continuity. Maybe you’ll get scouse and Geordie orca the further north you go in middle earth?

    I think they were all spawned from Sid James

    One thing I've gleaned from this series is I never want to be stuck in a lift with Elrond.

    Elrond

    "It's a lift my impatient friend and I wager it has many functions ,I propose we sit in silence and compose our collective thoughts as I see little joy or indeed reward from hammering thy own hands against the door as thine own self was present to witness the day the strength of men failed and if you permit me to regale you with a tale whilst we await our fate I will do so readily and with gladness in my heart"

    Me
    "No"

    Elrond is the best character. Robert Aramayo was perfectly cast as him.

    So Halbrand is off to see the elves... certainly adds to the theory he is Sauron. Warming to the Harfoots too.

    Nah Sauron is the tranny. I’m telling you Halbrand is one of the kings/lords of men that receive a ring. Likely the witch king of angmar.

    Nah think are just a cult of wizards would be anticlimactic if Eminem is Sauron

    Yeah could be. Basically revealed as much to Galadriel back in Neumenor how he’d make people fear something and control them by having the solution for their fear

    It was better for sure, laughed out loud at the "reveal" at the end though. Anyone with half a brain figured it out 3 or 4 episodes ago, but the creators had such little faith in the intelligence of their viewers that they LITERALLY spelt it out on the screen.
