Strong third episode. I think the next episode will introduce an orc commander that everybody is going to have to deal with at some point moving forward.

These Numenoreans are looking hella short.

Also shouldn't they have colonies all over Middle Earth at this stage? This fukked up timeline is messing with my brain.

This show is just not clicking for me yet. I'm going to keep up with it, but I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be rooting for here. You would think it would be the elves, but they've already made it clear that they're basically nazis occupying foreign land. Why was Galadriel such a dikk to the queen? No one has to give her shyt and she's demanding they give her a boat? bytch is racist against humans, even those who allied with the elves in the war apparently. Plus her acting is wooden as fukk. She delivers her lines in such an awkward way, but a lot of the elves do, so I don't know. Maybe they're going for something with that.

The brehlf is cool, I guess. The action scenes with him were too uncanny valley though. All the slow motion twirling just looked weird to me.

I hate all of the harfoots. Can't stand any of them. The dwarf couple from the 2nd ep was cool. Everyone else was forgettable so far.

The show isn't bad, it just feels like it's missing something. I'm thinking it'll start coming together soon, but right now it feels all over the place.

Then why is Galadriel shytting on the humans that allied with elves? Seems like she just think men as a whole are below her on some :mjpls: shyt. Talking to the queen like she's a lowly peasant :picard:

I don't know the lore. Just seems like they went out of their way to show how disliked elves are by everyone and how little elves think of everyone else.

This is slow and all over the place. It reminds me of the ents from the two towers. The actress playing Galadriel thinks she's playing an Android not an elf. Show some fuking emotion.

It not It bushes status but it's getting there for me.

She was angry about everyone staring at her basically, but yeah that scene was pretty clumsy.

Because men hold a lot of envy and jealousy toward elves which cause them to do :mjpls: toward the elves which make the elves go :mjpls: right back to men.

I mean in Ar-Pharazôn's time they most definitely - hence what I mean by this fukking up with the timeline.
By that I mean I don't think the Númenor were going all out colonialism middle earth yet at most they were just have small citys on the coast:patrice:

I'm huge fan of the LOTR movies but I have no idea wtf is going on in this tv show. Every episode looks beautiful but the plot frequently loses me and it's honestly just not that interesting. For Amazon's sake and the price of this show's production I hope it's a hit but so far this show has done absolutely nothing for me :francis:
