The board is set, the pieces are moving!
Sauron's story line was so well written. I love how he is able to continue to manipulate Celebrimbor. Sauron will have the 9 rings for the race of men soon, and I am very curious as to who he will give them to. Are they characters we have seen before, or just new characters altogether? Looking forward to finding out the answer.
Elendil's story line was amazing! I loved how loyal he was to his Queen, no matter what. The sea creature design was amazing also, the show's practical, and visual effects rival that of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy IMO. I loved the ending where Ar-Pharazon finds out, via the Palantir, that Halbrand is Sauron. I would love it if he is one of the 9 who receives one of the rings for men.
The Stranger's story line is quite interesting. I love all the callbacks they have to Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings series, and I am curious as to what will happen to Nori and Popppy. I am looking forward to the Stranger getting his staff also.
The Dwarves story line was amazing also. I love the conflict in Durin IV, as he wants to stop his father, but he still respects him also. I loved the scene where Sauron arrived and asked for more Mithril to help make more rings, but Durin III refused. I loved the quick scene where Sauron looked in the fire and saw a Balrog in it. Durin IV's wife, Disa, knew something ancient and evil was in those mines, and I am glad that it was revealed to be a Balrog. Sauron knows that the Dwarves are about to get attacked by one, and that smirk as he was leaving said so much. Sauron is 10 steps ahead of everyone, and I love it!
Adar proposing an alliance to Galadriel was a great scene. While I was initially hesitant about Sam Hazeldine replacing Joseph Mawle as Adar, Sam has managed to surpass Joseph. I loved the fact that Adar just got what he needed out of Galadriel, and now plans on destroying all of Eregion in order to make sure that Sauron stays dead. I loved how Galadriel was trying to warn Adar that he and the Orcs are walking right into Sauron's trap. Sauron is playing chess, while everyone else is playing checkers. I also loved the reveal that Sauron's crown which Adar stabbed him with in the first episode, was actually Morogoth's crown. Great reveal!
Out of a 10 I would give it...
