Galadriel finds a new ally while Elrond is not welcomed at an old friend’s home. Meanwhile, Nori strives to help a stranger, Arondir searches for answers, and Bronwyn warns her people of a threat
Jackson learned as much when he tried to expand J.R.R. Tolkien’s story into three Hobbit films that were more meandering than exciting (but still made a helluva lot of cash), and now Amazon is attempting to squeeze the last drops from the well with this new series that has so far failed to justify its existence.
Do we really need adventures with a kick-ass young Galadriel, a character who was essentially a nonplayer in the previous series? (Cate Blanchett mostly just stood around looking pretty.) Do we need another prologue setting up the quest for the One Ring? All roads lead to Frodo sailing away to paradise — everything else pales by comparison.
In other words: is any of this necessary? We’re about to find out.
We’re back with another episode of The Rings of Power, this one titled “Adrift,” which could mean any number of things. Or maybe it just means a few of our characters are stuck on a boat. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
To recap, I liked the first episode of Amazon’s billion-dollar show. Visually, it’s spectacular. Most of the intro spent time, well, introducing us to this strange new world, its characters and the dangers lurking just out of sight. We met Galadriel, a young She-Elf seeking revenge for her brother’s death; Elrond, an elf with an affinity for politics; Nori, a Harfoot who yearns for adventure; and Arondir, a bad ass warrior dealing with love issues. These four formed the core group (as far as I could tell), while other side characters popped in on occasion to drop important bits of exposition.
Our story seems to revolve around the evil wizard Sauron, who laid waste to much of the land before vanishing … I think? Before he left, the big bad left behind clues that guided his minions to his location, which seems a little foolhardy, but I’ve never been an evil wizard so what do I know? Last week’s episode ended with a giant meteor crashing down near Nori’s home, and when the little Harfoot investigated she found a naked man lying inside its ruins. Literally, the last thing I expected.
Galadriel, meanwhile, had booked a first-class ticket to the Grey Havens and, per Elrond’s advice, was on her way out of Middle-earth before destiny called her back home.
Arondir and Bronwyn (his not-so-secret love) happened upon a burning town whilst investigating mysterious black cow goo, while Bronwyn’s son Theo discovered a piece of Sauron’s blade buried underneath a barn. Details are fuzzy, but there was a lot to take in so don’t judge me too harshly.
