]]> Join Alan, James, and Sara as they ponder Pelargir, ruminate about Rhûn, admire Adar, and linger on Lindon in the second half of our post-season review of Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!

We talk through the remaining storylines in the show, including high praise for some, and… less than that for others. Spoilers: all three of us gave S2 a better grade than S1, but the show’s not on the Honor Roll quite yet.

We give well-deserved praise to Bear McCreary, wonder where Círdan disappeared to, and chat about fan reception of the (in our opinion) improved second season of the show. Also, we talk about three of the show’s story lines, saving the rest for next week!

Annatar makes sure Celebrimbor gets his point, Glüg makes a questionable career move, and Kemen still has Middle-earth’s most punchable face. From shadowy Balrog wings to a surprise appearance of a sword; from Yoda moments to another Princess Bride callback, the RoPWU team have more things. to. say.
