Another great episode that continues to build up the threat that is rising.
I was glad to see Arondir return, but I was shocked to find out that Bronwyn died. A dark fate that I never saw coming, but I'm glad they have added more stakes for these characters.
Isildur returning was long overdue. I knew he couldn't be dead, as his character is important to the story line for the Lord of the Rings Books. I am curious as to what the endgame is for the girl, Estrid, that he found in the woods. She had the mark of Adar on her neck, but she did try getting rid of it. I'm wondering if she is a spy, or a survivor? I loved that the Ents arrived at the end also.
Sauron helping make the Rings for the Dwarf lords is so satisfying. I am looking forward to seeing him craft the 9 rings for the race of men also. I am also loving how influential Sauron has become to Celebrimbor, and it continues to remind me of Anakin and Palpatine from Star Wars, in a great way.
Miriel's story line is intriguing. I have no idea where it is going, and to what end Isildur and his father are involved. I am hoping that the place Isildur is, is where Gondor will be built, they certainly seemed to tease that that will be the case.
Out of a 10 I would give it...
10 out of 10
