Speaker 1: of Rings of Power season two, so watch that for
Speaker 1: you listeners. Hello, my name is Jason Concepcion and I'm
Speaker 1: mersday Night and welcome back to x Ravision, the podcast
Speaker 1: where we dive deep but dear favorite shows, movies, comments,
Speaker 1: and pop culture. Coming to you from my Heart podcast
Speaker 1: where we're bringing you two episodes a week, every Tuesday
Speaker 1: and Thursday.
Speaker 2: In today's episode in the Airlock, we're covering episodes two
Speaker 2: and three of the Rings of Power. So get ready
Speaker 2: to hear us say calabrimble, calabrimble, calabrimble.
Speaker 1: Rings of Power season two, Episode two. Here we go, Rosie.
Speaker 1: We open in Kaza Doom during the fourth and Desa.
Speaker 1: They are outcast now after the events of season one,
Speaker 1: during which during the fourth got into a massive row
Speaker 1: with his dad King during the third over mythrill, over
Speaker 1: mining mythral over sharing mythrill with the elves and all
Speaker 1: that sort of shit. And now they're just normal citizens
Speaker 1: of cosdo amount shopping.
Speaker 3: Just having a nice shopping in this little market, like
Speaker 3: that's very nice. I was gonna say, this is.
Speaker 2: How you know there's so much money in this show,
Speaker 2: because even just the market, You're like, I'd like to
Speaker 2: go there.
Speaker 3: You're like, that's fancy that I'm feeling it, like the
Speaker 3: dwarf market.
Speaker 2: I would like to spend a little weekend that perusing
Speaker 2: the wes.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, and as residents of Los Angeles, you and I
Speaker 1: both understand this feeling. We know that there's a shutting
Speaker 1: desa a shudder and a shake. The whole mountain begins
Speaker 1: to tremble. Boulders are falling out of this feeling. They're
Speaker 1: falling into the marketplace. They're crashing down, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the light from above is extinguished. Kase It
Speaker 1: Doom has a very clever system of mirrors that reflect
Speaker 1: the sunlight from outside down to the gardens below inside
Speaker 1: the mountain, and all of a sudden those are significantly
Speaker 1: damaged and the light from outside is cut off.
Speaker 2: I felt like Lisa new before everyone else, like, do
Speaker 2: we think she's going to have some kind of connection
Speaker 2: to the mines or to Kasy Doom? Like it did
Speaker 2: feel like she had a little bit of an inclination.
Speaker 1: I think so as a say, my read on that
Speaker 1: was as a stone singer, she has a connection to
Speaker 1: hum and could kind of feel it. In Lindon, Gladriel
Speaker 1: has a waking nightmareor about Kelbrimboor and a stranger that's
Speaker 1: come to visit him and is there message and this
Speaker 1: we know what power and all of a sudden it's
Speaker 1: been at least yes, it is clearly guilt about the
Speaker 1: fact that she is at least.
Speaker 2: Saron, and as we know, Saron has just gone to
Speaker 2: visit Calibrimba.
Speaker 3: So also want to say.
Speaker 2: Another extremely gory segment here. We're really moving into the
Speaker 2: horror part of Tolkien Law with this series.
Speaker 1: She wakes up and the Elves have received She learns
Speaker 1: that the Elves have received intelligence that Sarn was last scene.
Speaker 1: I love this like APB last scene, Saron, last scene
Speaker 1: Ederick Mordor potentially to join forces with Ada.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I believe that.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that either, but the Elves are very
Speaker 1: keen on this intelligence and they want to invade to
Speaker 1: destroy the threats of Adar and Saron. While they're both
Speaker 1: together killed two birds with one stone. Gladriel tells King
Speaker 1: Gilga Hat glad that you know what I gotta feeling?
Speaker 4: What if Sarah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if Sarah's not there. What if he's somewhere else.
Speaker 1: He wants to rule all of Middle Earth. Let's not
Speaker 1: forget about that. He needs rings. He wants more of
Speaker 1: these rings, which would mean would it not mean kelebrimbore
Speaker 1: Gili is Mike. Listen. If there's one thing I know
Speaker 1: about a region, it's that it has super duper strong defenses.
Speaker 1: With walls and with the moats and with the all
Speaker 1: that shit. There's no one can get in there, nobody,
Speaker 1: not even.
Speaker 2: Sarah bro Sarah literally walked into Lyndon just at somebody's side.
Speaker 3: Do you think he may be able to do that again? Like,
Speaker 3: come on, I have.
Speaker 2: To say I'm not, like I said this on the
Speaker 2: last episode about the show.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not someone who likes to point out plotholes because
Speaker 2: I just think you got a vibe with the movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is not a pothole because this could
Speaker 3: never happen.
Speaker 2: But multiple times throughout this three episode premiere, I was like,
Speaker 2: imagine if they just had phones, Like if they could
Speaker 2: just call each other and be like, Yo, this guy
Speaker 2: showed up. Is how's everything going? Like?
Speaker 3: Is that going well? I'd be like, don't do that
Speaker 3: like he's a bad guy.
Speaker 1: You raise an excellent point, which is Lindon's defenses I'm
Speaker 1: sure are also very very good at Saran just fucking
Speaker 1: walked in exactly, And I feel like there.
Speaker 2: Should be a quicker way. Think about House of the Dragon,
Speaker 2: think about Game of Thrones. Right, they're using the ravens.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: The ravens are not so quick, but they are quicker
Speaker 2: than sending a man on a horse, And.
Speaker 5: I feel like here's a r ip to that man
Speaker 5: and the other people that they were with that Like
Speaker 5: this is I'm saying, like, just send like some kind
Speaker 5: of magical creature a bud.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing all kinds of high tech creations in the
Speaker 2: dwarf land. They got like mirrors that are reflecting light.
Speaker 2: I just feel like even some kind of version of
Speaker 2: like a tingcam with string would actually help this.
Speaker 1: Gil, Gil, get your fucking head out of your ass. O.
Speaker 1: My god, you are You're too dumb to be king
Speaker 1: dumb to be hiking anyway. Glad Reel disagrees that region
Speaker 1: necessarily would be completely secure from Saraon, and she's been seeing,
Speaker 1: of course, visions of the unseen world since she's been
Speaker 1: wearing this beautiful ring of power, and she wants Hiking
Speaker 1: Gilga Glad to send her to a region, which sounds
Speaker 1: like a type of Italian cheese.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really, it's like, oh, I'm going to a
Speaker 2: region or like a l a restaurant.
Speaker 1: Right, could I get the bugatini with a little bit
Speaker 1: of a region on it?
Speaker 2: It's like a it's like an air one com Oh no,
Speaker 2: I don't go to air one anymore.
Speaker 3: I go to a region.
Speaker 1: Hiking Gilga Glad, let me tell you, does not think
Speaker 1: that it's a good idea for and he has as
Speaker 1: something he does not think it's necessarily a great idea
Speaker 1: to send Godril on a mission to confront, potentially confront Saron,
Speaker 1: seeing as she has very recently been taken in by
Speaker 1: the charms of Saron and was his complete and trusting
Speaker 1: dupe in all of his schemes. So she's like, okay,
Speaker 1: fair point. What if I bring someone with me? Who
Speaker 1: could it be?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Could it be we go to a region. Calibrimbour is like, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not letting that man who's just waiting outside in. No,
Speaker 1: actually I know, I'm not letting him in.
Speaker 2: Actually, like maybe there's a Reggio. Maybe it's maybe it's
Speaker 2: gonna work out because he's got the right idea.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not gonna light him in. I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm not letting him. I don't fully know why. But
Speaker 3: he's just like, I'm not gonna He's like, I'm just
Speaker 3: not vibing.
Speaker 1: Now. He did help us. He came up with that
Speaker 1: alloy thing, which is a great idea. But maybe here's
Speaker 1: my head it Rosie. Yeah, we know that Kelibrinboor is
Speaker 1: extremely ambitious. He is quite eager to outshine the reputation
Speaker 1: of his uh calibrinble Or the elder. So I think
Speaker 1: there's maybe there's something of like jealousy. Hey, I want Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like the alloy thing, I want that to
Speaker 1: be mind.
Speaker 3: Why are you coming trying to get credit for the alloy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I want. I don't want this guy's help. I'm good,
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. Uh sourn Slash whoever he's pretending to
Speaker 1: be at the moment, brand right now, Okay, is like
Speaker 1: that's fine, I'll just wait out here now, assistant Calibrinbles
Speaker 1: assistant and let me just pause here. Oh God, one
Speaker 1: note for the riggs of power creators. I love the show.
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time, having a great even though
Speaker 1: we have notes, but there's no perfect show I'm having.
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the lover. Too many characters without names.
Speaker 2: We also remember we are watching this in an early form,
Speaker 2: so we do not have the fantastic X ray you
Speaker 2: know app that they added to Amazon where you can
Speaker 2: just pause any film and it will tell you who
Speaker 2: the actor is and what their character name is.
Speaker 3: So we're just calling him Keller. Brimble's a system. But
Speaker 3: there are many There are many.
Speaker 2: Characters in these first three episodes who we are like,
Speaker 2: what is that man's name?
Speaker 1: So Calibrimmer's assistant is out there and she's talking to him,
Speaker 1: and then he turns around and she notices that how
Speaker 1: Brand's back is like all torn up. He looks injured,
Speaker 1: and she seems concerned. Kelbrimbor is like, listen, I promised
Speaker 1: Gladriel that I'd never talked to Halbrand again, which I
Speaker 1: don't remember. Must have happened between must have happened between seasons,
Speaker 1: and clearly, by the way I clearly Gladriel also did
Speaker 1: not say because he was Sarah.
Speaker 2: No, she was just like, she was like, don't talk
Speaker 2: to that man like, and he comes, don't don't him again, don't.
Speaker 4: Talk about it.
Speaker 1: So he says, listen, I promise, Glad, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: talk out right anymore.
Speaker 4: And he said that's it.
Speaker 3: He's not coming in, and he's like, I'm waiting.
Speaker 1: His back's torn up.
Speaker 2: I'm waiting to hear from Gilga Lad, because like, yes,
Speaker 2: I'm were close pals, and I'm just waiting to from.
Speaker 1: I'll I'll wait on the High King's message. Well elsewhere
Speaker 1: somewhere in the woods between Lindon and Reggaeon the messengers
Speaker 1: that Calibrinborg is waiting for are all fucking dead. They
Speaker 1: are dead as door nails.
Speaker 2: They are like gruesomely killed and being dragged away by
Speaker 2: like chains.
Speaker 1: Yes, and their squirrel. This message scroll is just like
Speaker 1: I'm just torn up. We go to the wastelands of
Speaker 1: Western Room and the town of kars Gayer, where a
Speaker 1: dark wizard who also does not have a name.
Speaker 3: Who is this man?
Speaker 1: Who is he? Played by the wonderful Kieran Hines you
Speaker 1: remember from as Caesar from Rome and many many other projects.
Speaker 1: He is presiding over a spell which involves like a
Speaker 1: lot of moths, which are coalescing into a form, and
Speaker 1: they turn into a white witch. The witch that we
Speaker 1: saw a type of witch that we saw from season
Speaker 1: one that was stalking the stranger in the heartfoots. The
Speaker 1: witch tells nameless dark Wizard that surunshadow is gathering and
Speaker 1: he's taken a new form, but we don't know what
Speaker 1: it is. The Dark Wizard, meanwhile, is like, fuck off,
Speaker 1: I don't care about all that.
Speaker 3: Who cares. That's not important.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm interested in. I'm interested in this
Speaker 1: stranger guy who also doesn't have a name, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna fucking call Gandalf because that's what definitely must be
Speaker 1: is out here in my wasteland, and he's powerful and
Speaker 1: he's just.
Speaker 3: Like doing like makeing some leaves fall off or setting
Speaker 3: things on fire. Like what is going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's doing magic, and and what happens if he
Speaker 1: figures out how to use his magic while he's here?
Speaker 1: I can't have that. I need to find out what
Speaker 1: this guy's up to. Just then, one of another of
Speaker 1: the wizards, the Dark Wizards Trackers, comes in does it
Speaker 1: also doesn't have a name, and says that if the wizard,
Speaker 1: the dark Wizard who also who doesn't have a name,
Speaker 1: sends him against Gandolf, which is the Ista.
Speaker 2: So I do think because this guy's also wizard, but
Speaker 2: I guess he's not an Istari.
Speaker 3: Okay, right that.
Speaker 1: He promises he'll be able to bring him in. Okay. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Stranger Nori and Poppy are going across the desert.
Speaker 1: Poppy is like, can't you just like condure water? Like
Speaker 1: like you?
Speaker 2: I mean, who is this man like Avatar the Lost
Speaker 2: Ebb and hang because he's like, he can control wind,
Speaker 2: he can control he can control plots, but he can't
Speaker 2: control water.
Speaker 1: He's not the Avatar yet cannot do that. And he's like,
Speaker 1: I can't you know, I can't do it right now. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: they hear riders approaching, so they hide, and we know
Speaker 1: how good they these these very hiding The trackers walk
Speaker 1: right past them, can't find them, and move on back
Speaker 1: to Kose Doom. Everyone is freaking out because the earthquake
Speaker 1: and rightly sow and plus the collapse of the light
Speaker 1: shafts and what that might mean for their crops and
Speaker 1: the ability to feed themselves. Repairs of the shafts are
Speaker 1: very complicated. The Stone Singers are having tremendous problems because
Speaker 1: they can't find the correct frequency.
Speaker 3: Which never happens to them.
Speaker 1: Never happens to them. Desa and her trio give it
Speaker 1: a try. They start to sing, but instead they cause
Speaker 1: a worse cave in, and now the light is like
Speaker 1: basically almost completely extinguished. Now yeah, and Lisa is like,
Speaker 1: this is so concerning because our connection to the rocks
Speaker 1: has been severed, and what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: And King during the third is completely vexed. Lisa tries
Speaker 1: to get King during the third to apologize to his son,
Speaker 1: but he's very stubborn and the sun stubborn, and it's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. Meanwhile, during the fourth is getting absolutely
Speaker 1: roasted by all the dwarfs of kose Doom because he
Speaker 1: used to be a prince and now he's just a
Speaker 1: fucking guy because his dad hates him.
Speaker 2: I his dad was just like, bro, you're just a guy,
Speaker 2: Like just there's nothing Sai.
Speaker 1: How's he making money? I guess he's rich.
Speaker 3: Mythrol I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. He's got his little percentage of the
Speaker 1: of the mythral business.
Speaker 2: Which by the way, is clearly Can I just say
Speaker 2: if I was Desa, I'd be like, stop mining that
Speaker 2: myth roll like this is obviously the issue.
Speaker 1: Stop it bagging Ohm. Desa now tries to get four
Speaker 1: to apologize.
Speaker 3: To three, and.
Speaker 1: She says, listen, I am scared because this is we
Speaker 1: can't feel the mountain with. This has never happened before.
Speaker 1: Back in Lindon, Al tries to get el Ron to
Speaker 1: join the mission to a region.
Speaker 3: Aaron is so sick of her.
Speaker 2: He's over this show, so sick of He's just trying
Speaker 2: to make a nice boat, and.
Speaker 1: I fucking agree with him because no one is listening
Speaker 1: to him. Saraon is free running around the Gladiel, the
Speaker 1: High King, and cured On are all wearing rings touched
Speaker 1: potentially definitely but as far as they know, potentially by
Speaker 1: the taint of Saraon, and like, what's he gonna He's
Speaker 1: gonna make boats now because he wants to live a
Speaker 1: simple life. He's like, listen, I don't agree with all this.
Speaker 1: Gladiel is like listen, I need you because now get this.
Speaker 1: I King thinks I'm vulnerable to sarah Oh why would
Speaker 1: believe it?
Speaker 3: And then he's you believe it and she's also like, look,
Speaker 3: I will admit.
Speaker 2: She's like, you know, he did play me and make
Speaker 2: me do a bunch of stuff I would never have
Speaker 2: done if it wasn't for him, And then I love
Speaker 2: it beca Aaron's like incorrect.
Speaker 3: He made you do a bunch of stuff you exactly
Speaker 3: wanted to do. He's played you.
Speaker 2: He's like he played a song of your soul and
Speaker 2: made you exactly wanted what you wanted to do. He
Speaker 2: acted like he was a sexy king that you needed, who.
Speaker 3: Is gonna come in and save the day.
Speaker 1: Oh and I'm just like doing snaps like Ald you
Speaker 1: fucking tell them you gotta do this.
Speaker 3: Just everybody read her go over and everyone.
Speaker 1: Read her down. He says, listen, what if imagine Saron,
Speaker 1: who has been playing us this whole time, actually wants
Speaker 1: you to go to region have you have you considered that?
Speaker 1: And he further says, it's absolutely crazy that you guys
Speaker 1: are wearing these fucking rings that he touched and are
Speaker 1: made from Alo's idea.
Speaker 3: This Like, I'm sick of it, and also as well,
Speaker 3: like he makes a very good point.
Speaker 2: God, Reel, you've always wanted to be the hero, so
Speaker 2: now you're getting visions that you think are going to
Speaker 2: help you be the hero. No, you're just getting visions
Speaker 2: so that Saron can see you again and propose to
Speaker 2: you again clearly. And she says get out, stayn He says,
Speaker 2: excuse me, get out and stay out.
Speaker 1: Cure Dan talking with el Rod, then defends not destroying
Speaker 1: the He's like, come on, they're.
Speaker 4: So fucking cool, man, look at this thing video.
Speaker 1: Games high schools only, Are you kidding me? Look how
Speaker 1: nice it looks on my like I'm matching it now
Speaker 1: with my robes. It's a great work of art. And also,
Speaker 1: look how easy it makes fishing. I love that that's
Speaker 1: the example he watches. I just grab a fish out
Speaker 1: of the water.
Speaker 2: Also, I also like that this is if you weren't
Speaker 2: already aware that the rings are bad, right, and this
Speaker 2: and this is something Galgalat should absolutely clock onto, but
Speaker 2: he won't because this is his dream.
Speaker 3: I like the way he's like to Alron, He's like,
Speaker 3: only the ol should.
Speaker 1: Yes, side note olf supremacy.
Speaker 3: That's not going to go badly at all.
Speaker 1: We go back to Ruin, where the stranger has collapsed
Speaker 1: from heat exhaustion or the fact that nobody's drinking any
Speaker 1: water because the desert yeah. They drag him to a
Speaker 1: well that's like one hundred feet away, like right there
Speaker 1: over the hill. They drag him to the well and
Speaker 1: they managed to hydrate the wizard. Gandalf finds a staff
Speaker 1: that's just lying there.
Speaker 2: That seems like more points towards the Gandalf theory, just
Speaker 2: saying uh.
Speaker 1: And just then the trackers ride up on them. They
Speaker 1: charge their throwing knives at them, but then Gandalf uses
Speaker 1: the cast the staff to cast like a sandstorm spell
Speaker 1: and that gets rid of the attackers. But also the
Speaker 1: sandstorm just grows like way beyond Gandalf's control and the
Speaker 1: winds carrying away.
Speaker 2: Sorry, okay, before the trackers who have no names get forgotten,
Speaker 2: I will say do I absolutely love the costume design
Speaker 2: on that scary like steam Me too, me too, so good?
Speaker 3: Ten out of ten.
Speaker 1: Big fan back in a reggaeoni. He's like love in
Speaker 1: his life. He's continuing his work. He's quite pleased with
Speaker 1: his latest creation, which is a form of mythrill that's
Speaker 1: like you can it's invisible except in the moon.
Speaker 2: I see by seeing people trying invisible while wearing a ring.
Speaker 3: This couldn't go wrong.
Speaker 1: And then while he's working on this. He just gets
Speaker 1: it in his he just gets it in his head that,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna go talk to that guy
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell him off. I'm gonna tell.
Speaker 1: Him I don't need him. He gets down there and
Speaker 1: he says, listen, Helbrand, either get out of here or
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you get out of here. How about that,
Speaker 1: My guys, they're gonna fucking hustle you out here. Halbrand
Speaker 1: slash Saron says, oh, well before you that, have you
Speaker 1: not heard from Gladriel because.
Speaker 3: Ladriel big fan of the rings, big.
Speaker 1: Fan of the rings. Oh you didn't hear about the ring?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: They walk, they work, they work great, they're BEAUTIFU first
Speaker 1: of all, they're beautiful. High King gilglad is wearing one.
Speaker 1: Galadriel is wearing one.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, I don't really hear anyone mentioning
Speaker 3: that Calabrimble made them, just like, yeah, they're not talking
Speaker 3: about it and not talking about it.
Speaker 1: He's saying, these cool rings.
Speaker 3: Look at these cool rings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we love them. It's so you know, nobody's really
Speaker 1: calling out your name now. Kelibrinble is freaking out because
Speaker 1: he wants some feedback. He wants to know. He wants
Speaker 1: to get up. There's no yelp, there's no Google reviews.
Speaker 1: He wants to get on there and be like, wow,
Speaker 1: Calbrimble snapped with this one. But he's not hearing that,
Speaker 1: so he invites Hal Brandon fucking side all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this I have to say, so on no notes.
Speaker 2: This man is so good at playing everyone. He can
Speaker 2: read their little insecurities. But these people are so bad
Speaker 2: at like defending themselves from sourn. I'm saying, I understand
Speaker 2: there's a love storytelling to do, right, but this man
Speaker 2: spokesh for like two minutes. I was like, you ain't
Speaker 2: getting the credit you deserve and he was like, okay,
Speaker 2: come in, let's let's change that.
Speaker 1: He he went from I'm gonna have you physically removed
Speaker 1: from the premises to come inside and yeah. Uh So
Speaker 1: they go inside and Hal brand slash Saron slash. The
Speaker 1: King of the Southlands tells Kelibrinbor that the rings are beautiful, baby,
Speaker 1: god they are. They are perfect, babe. The stunning Linda
Speaker 1: is saved because of these rings in the tree.
Speaker 3: It's all going good.
Speaker 1: It's oh my god. The leaves, it's glowing. Kelibrinbor is thrilled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is so stoked.
Speaker 3: And also how Brand's like, isn't it interesting?
Speaker 2: He does he goes on a little bit of me
Speaker 2: and Jason Ramp when we're talking about like Jack Kirby,
Speaker 2: He's like, isn't it interesting that the creator never gets
Speaker 2: the credit? Like everyone comes in and we take the credit.
Speaker 3: From the creator. But the ones who are.
Speaker 2: Doing the work, the people who are putting in the hours,
Speaker 2: no one's talking about them. They're just talking about the rings,
Speaker 2: just talking about the thing they make. Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2: And Calibrin was like, it is interesting?
Speaker 1: And you know what else is interesting? Maybe the elves
Speaker 1: are just like not good at sharing the credit. What
Speaker 1: if follow me here, what if we made more rings
Speaker 1: this time for men?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Because I bet you I think that, And I bet
Speaker 1: you men would be like calibrinboor Calibrin boor Calibriver we love.
Speaker 2: And Calibrinbo tattoos, maybe shouting Calibrinbo's name. They're getting banners
Speaker 2: with Calibrinbo. They would just love it.
Speaker 1: And Calibrim was like, I don't know, that sounds like
Speaker 1: a weird idea. And then Sarah, and.
Speaker 3: He's like change.
Speaker 2: He's like, I gotta change, I gotta change, Like this
Speaker 2: is not working, Like okay, you don't buy the.
Speaker 3: Let's change lights.
Speaker 1: Put a pin in that, and he goes and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he turns into Elf form, but not
Speaker 1: his original Elf form, like like Charlie still Charlie Vickers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's still Charlie Vickers, but like Elf. And he says,
Speaker 1: guess what I'm not Halbrand, I am, in fact, a
Speaker 1: messenger from beyond the Valor have sent me to give
Speaker 1: guidance to the wise and talented like yourself, so that
Speaker 1: Middle Earth can resist the darkness. You, Calibrimbor, have been chosen.
Speaker 1: You're the chosen one to help with this crucial mission.
Speaker 1: Calibrin was like, I don't buy it, sauce. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: then Halbrand then does his.
Speaker 3: Like magic act, like Las Vegas magic act.
Speaker 1: And then he says, guess what, call me by a
Speaker 1: new name. We've got characters with no names, and we've
Speaker 1: got certain characters with like five five and call me Anatar,
Speaker 1: the lord of Gifts.
Speaker 3: I'm bridge gifts. I'm giving gifts. If we all know
Speaker 3: that's bad. That's another Sarah name. Baby.
Speaker 1: That's another Sarah name from the second age, and so
Speaker 1: this is a big This is a big kind of
Speaker 1: like road map mark for Sarah.
Speaker 2: Also interesting because we had wondered before, like timeline wise
Speaker 2: in the first season, we were like, has he already
Speaker 2: been anatar? Had he already tricked? But no, this is
Speaker 2: so we're seeing anatar.
Speaker 3: Here he is.
Speaker 2: And Calibrin was like, oh my god, I can't believe
Speaker 2: the world famous Anatar giver of gifts is in my forge.
Speaker 3: This is unbelievable.
Speaker 1: My dad never met with anatar. He thought he had everything.
Speaker 2: You know, he had never met with the famous, beloved
Speaker 2: Anatar giver of gifts who I've definitely heard of before
Speaker 2: this moment.
Speaker 1: In Linda and More Red Flags hiking, Gil is staring
Speaker 1: at the ring.
Speaker 2: Take that out, anyone around, just stop looking at it.
Speaker 2: Stop looking at it.
Speaker 1: You're just standing by himself. He's like gazing at the ring.
Speaker 1: He so Hi, King Gil says, listen, Gladial mean, think
Speaker 1: about your thing. I'm going to send a group of
Speaker 1: five of our bravest selves to a reggaeon under the
Speaker 1: leadership of and Gladiel like leans forward, like rubbing her hands,
Speaker 1: like yeah, el Ron, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like, look, I I do wish Alron to be
Speaker 2: that because he is a bit more sensible.
Speaker 1: I think I would feel this is the one good
Speaker 1: decision Gill.
Speaker 2: So I do feel like the fact he's sending Galadriel
Speaker 2: at all after just staring at his ring is like
Speaker 2: Salon was like looking through the ring.
Speaker 3: Like send her, send her, send her, send her, you know.
Speaker 2: And then a little bit of el Ron's like set
Speaker 2: a little bit of like King Gilgalad's sense was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I better send Elron so she doesn't get totally sucked.
Speaker 1: Then meanwhile, a cause of doom four gets a letter
Speaker 1: inviting him and a delegation of dwarves to a reggaon,
Speaker 1: don't go, and we'll be going to a region right
Speaker 1: after the word from our sponsorbility.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're back.
Speaker 1: Season two, Rings of Power, Episode three, Ellenville is arguing
Speaker 1: with Brick, his late late question mark son is Sildur's horse,
Speaker 1: who simply refuses to follow him and get back on
Speaker 1: the boats and go back to newman Ar. So he
Speaker 1: sets Berg free. And let me tell you, Barrick, that
Speaker 1: is a he's a real wamp top top animal companion,
Speaker 1: he says, like a trayer level horse, like he is
Speaker 1: serious actually you know what not you know, we all
Speaker 1: love a trio ur pizza. That horse.
Speaker 3: He stays alive, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Berrick is actually like a true badass. Like the Orcs
Speaker 2: are trying to come for Brick, and.
Speaker 3: Barrick's like, oh no, oh no, ors you got me
Speaker 3: around my neck.
Speaker 2: Psych just booting the X all over the forest like
Speaker 2: he's going to Mordor.
Speaker 3: Barrick's a real one.
Speaker 1: I love him, absolute real one. So Barrick runs all
Speaker 1: the way fucking across the Southlands to Mordor. Orcs are
Speaker 1: trying to capture it. He's not happture it. It flees
Speaker 1: into the black forest, where even the Orcs are like,
Speaker 1: well ly, Barrick runs right up to a cylinde who's trapped.
Speaker 1: It is still alive, still alive, doing great.
Speaker 2: I just want to say, everyone else, it so does that.
Speaker 2: It so do's mony ass, sister, Everyone just leave a Silda.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he died. Oh they're doing Mordor like the
Speaker 2: creation of Mordeor.
Speaker 3: Oh rp.
Speaker 2: I'm so sad about it. Let me go cause the problem,
Speaker 2: you know who never left him behind? Barrick Barrick was like,
Speaker 2: I'm finding it. I can sense he's still alive.
Speaker 3: Barrick is the very one to you. You bet to
Speaker 3: feel guilty. Ensolda inevitably shows up.
Speaker 1: That's right. So Silver is trapped in a spider's web
Speaker 1: and he does manage to fore himself with some help
Speaker 1: from Barrick, and he kills all these baby to maybe
Speaker 1: toddler baby and toddler giant spiders, you know, I mean.
Speaker 2: These are obviously we're seeing a version or early versions
Speaker 2: of like shilloop very famous yeah Tolkien spider.
Speaker 1: Character he venile juvenile, shaloob juvenile.
Speaker 3: Sup baby shlup shl Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sildur and Barrick then flee. We go to New Minor,
Speaker 1: where Ellendill is paying his respects to the now late
Speaker 1: King Tar who was super fucking old and finally died
Speaker 1: of New Minor taken a long time, like taken a
Speaker 1: long time to pass. And Captain Ellendill talks with Muriel,
Speaker 1: of course, the King's daughter, Queen Regent, and she tells
Speaker 1: him that listen, the political strife that had been brewing
Speaker 1: in Nu Minor before we went to war in the
Speaker 1: Southlands is kind of getting worse. Now, and Muriel thinks
Speaker 1: that Arizon him in the Northern nobles up to they're
Speaker 1: up to something. Just then, a mother of a fallen
Speaker 1: soldier who died in the Southland campaign attacks, just fucking
Speaker 1: flat out attacks the queen Queen regent rather than have
Speaker 1: her guards like chop off her head or yeah, embraces
Speaker 1: the woman.
Speaker 3: And this was a great moment. I love her moments
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: They played it really well. That actressly plays Queen Muriel
Speaker 2: is so good. She's one of my favorite characters in
Speaker 2: the show. And I kind of love this moment where
Speaker 2: there was anger, but you see here that Queen Muriel's
Speaker 2: reasoning is, you know, you got to soothe anger, you
Speaker 2: gotta love, and she she embraces the woman and the
Speaker 2: one begins to cry. But this is letting us know
Speaker 2: that there is significant anger in neuman Or in the
Speaker 2: wake of this war that has killed many, many people exactly.
Speaker 1: Parison brings Muriel her father's stuff and he says, listen,
Speaker 1: it's time now for you to choose what color down
Speaker 1: you're gonna wear to your coronation as Queen of newn
Speaker 1: Red or white red.
Speaker 2: That's what Pharison wears, so He's definitely like he's put
Speaker 2: Remember Miro is blind, and he keeps like he's just
Speaker 2: putting the red towards her, like, oh, you want to.
Speaker 1: Wear a red?
Speaker 3: Would you wear a red? How about red?
Speaker 1: And she's like, listen, my dad wore white, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wear Okay. Later, Pharizon is out drinking with his buddies,
Speaker 1: talking sheer treachery just.
Speaker 3: To bad ship.
Speaker 2: I have to say, this is one of these things
Speaker 2: where I feel like, you know, in in Game of Thrones,
Speaker 2: House the Dragon, you.
Speaker 3: Can't just be in a pub talking that.
Speaker 2: You can't even be singing a sassy riddle about a
Speaker 2: member of the royal family because you're gonna get your
Speaker 2: head chopped off if somebody hears you. These people are
Speaker 2: just in the bars and they are just talking like
Speaker 2: get rid of her, it's your time.
Speaker 1: Is very very reckless. Yeah, all the all the northern nobles,
Speaker 1: no names.
Speaker 3: They're trying to put the double ends.
Speaker 1: The double ends are trying to push Pharason to just
Speaker 1: you know, why don't you just I think you I
Speaker 1: think you'd have a lot of support, or I think
Speaker 1: you'd have pretty good support enough. He's like he's like, listen, listen.
Speaker 1: To his credit, he's like, no, like, come on, don't
Speaker 1: do this. But then to his discredit, he says, forget
Speaker 1: it because we don't have quite enough support. And then
Speaker 1: you betray it. That's right. And then Iarian Ellen Dill's
Speaker 1: daughter says, Okay, what if what is we can get
Speaker 1: enough people on the coup train and we you know,
Speaker 1: if we get some support, then maybe we do it.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Is not comfortable that. He's kind of like, oh, he's
Speaker 1: also intrigued. And also maybe he realizes like we're having
Speaker 1: this in a public place. Maybe he's a bit smart,
Speaker 1: and he and and so he's just kind of like
Speaker 1: he's nervous about it. Valandil comes over to start and defend.
Speaker 3: Up there for the real trophy alongside Barrick.
Speaker 1: He's like, listen, I was there. The Queen fought bravely
Speaker 1: and fiercely in the war, and she got blinded, she
Speaker 1: got injured, Like she walked.
Speaker 2: Into a fire to save the lives of the common people.
Speaker 1: Where were you, Farizon, with your fucking with your fucking
Speaker 1: bone spurs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like your.
Speaker 2: Little red fancy cloak. You didn't want to get it burned.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to get it Okay.
Speaker 1: So this gets squashed, but then Arian tells the Platters
Speaker 1: that listen, I know something secret. I found out something
Speaker 1: very very secret, very dangerous and very forbidden that I
Speaker 1: think would shock the people of Imanoir. And it is
Speaker 1: the pallanteer oh Ohuriel has been using.
Speaker 2: And it seems like Arian stolet that she was just
Speaker 2: like I'm taking it.
Speaker 1: In the Southlands, Ada and his orcs are preparing for war.
Speaker 1: Damn Rod the hill Troll arrives in at our camp.
Speaker 4: Just chill.
Speaker 1: He's here to help, and he's like, hey, where's Sarahn?
Speaker 1: I heard he was around back in a region. The
Speaker 1: Dwarves have arrived and they meet with Kelibrimbourne fucking Sarah.
Speaker 2: I feel like again I love that sour On number one,
Speaker 2: like selling when he just comes around and he's like,
Speaker 2: I know by sour On his it's not here, but
Speaker 2: he's somewhere and I.
Speaker 3: Can help you stop him. I'm like, how many times
Speaker 3: is this going to work on people?
Speaker 1: Keller is like, listen, I have a great deal for
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm gonna make you make some rings, rings
Speaker 1: of power, okay, and with those rings you can heal
Speaker 1: the mountain the mountain, just one small thing. I do
Speaker 1: need mythrill from the minster Craft, the rings.
Speaker 3: So you're really what you need is the dwarves.
Speaker 1: We desperately need the dwarves. So can you speak to
Speaker 1: King Durn you know about this? Four is like, there's
Speaker 1: no way because my dad's a butt head. I love it.

Speaker 2: I really do like that Four just like doesn't He's
Speaker 2: not charmed at all. He's like, whatever version of Saron
Speaker 2: is gonna work on the Dwarves is not this version
Speaker 2: because four is like a brick wall fours like us
Speaker 2: watching the show.
Speaker 3: He's like, no, and I love that the reason when.
Speaker 2: Lisa is like, so, why what's wrong? Like why did
Speaker 2: you act like that? And he's like, Arond would never
Speaker 2: say those nice things about.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 3: That's not how we roll. We roast each other.
Speaker 2: We like, you know, we have a little jous, a
Speaker 2: little bout like, that's not how we roll.
Speaker 3: So I know he's making it out.
Speaker 1: So Sarah goes, well, listen, my name's anataruh not Sarah
Speaker 1: used to be how Brandon. Anyway, Eventually, during when she's
Speaker 1: having that conversation with Lisa, who's asking him like why
Speaker 1: the fuck you do that, he basically says, listen, we can't.
Speaker 1: We can't bring it Mada because he doesn't want to apologize,
Speaker 1: and no one wants to apologize, and that's it and
Speaker 1: that's the end of it.
Speaker 2: And also, I will say Anatos is like trying to
Speaker 2: push He's like, you can't take a moment.
Speaker 3: He's like, you're gonna do it right now.
Speaker 1: We got it.
Speaker 3: He's like, just slam take the time.
Speaker 1: So calib Rimborg tells Anatard listens, you know the Dwarves,
Speaker 1: they do things their own way. Just let them, let
Speaker 1: them marinate on this and no, no, no, no, no no no,
Speaker 1: here's I forgot this detail. And by the way, here's
Speaker 1: a red here's another red flag. Everybody who's dealing with Sarah.
Speaker 1: Anytime there's more to the story, it's.
Speaker 3: Never just he tells you before the story.
Speaker 1: There is always something as well. Here's the something is okay? Uh,
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention this part. High King Gil. If
Speaker 1: he gets wind of this whole rings for the Men thing,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna like it because he's kind of like
Speaker 1: an elf supremacist.
Speaker 3: Which is true. He's also saying like, no more rings.
Speaker 3: He's just like the.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like just the hard no rings, only
Speaker 1: the l's get rings. So we kind of need to
Speaker 1: do this before he figures out about it. Kilierbrimber was like, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm gonna write a letter to Gil and
Speaker 1: tell get this watch this. I'm gonna write a letter
Speaker 1: to Gil and say, oh, the Forge.
Speaker 3: I shut it down because the Ring is such a success,
Speaker 3: Like we don't need.
Speaker 1: They were such a huge success that I don't want
Speaker 1: to follow it up. I'm done. I can't top those
Speaker 1: and I don't even want to try. So the Ring
Speaker 1: the Forge is done?
Speaker 3: Can I just say, like what.
Speaker 2: I Calibrimble, Like, come on, my guy, I get that
Speaker 2: you're enticed and intrigued and you know, beguiled by Anatole.
Speaker 3: But even Anatole was like, so you would just lie
Speaker 3: to the king?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would just lie to Okay, you're even crazier
Speaker 1: than I have.
Speaker 3: But I was like giving him a dit you look.
Speaker 1: He's like yeah, ants like Ben, it's gonna be easier.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then and then Keler Brimple was like, no, I
Speaker 3: would just give us the space to finish our rings.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is a battle, all right, uh
Speaker 1: A sil door. Back in Mordoor and Barrick ride through
Speaker 1: the dead marshes see all the fallen from the battle
Speaker 1: against Morgoth. They eventually come to the place where the
Speaker 1: Orc's ambushed wagon and the loan survivor of this attack
Speaker 1: stabs is Sildur in the leg but then she's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm sorry, like I thought you were
Speaker 1: in Orc and she tells him that her father and
Speaker 1: the rest of the Neuminorians have been fleeing, and they
Speaker 1: ride to Pelagear, an old Numenorian town, where they get
Speaker 1: mugged by bandits. But then Aaron deer that fights off
Speaker 1: the bandit down Don Don and he comes in.
Speaker 3: This is like pure action, Aaron, there's like action.
Speaker 1: John kills him off.
Speaker 3: Ye, he's doing flips, He's shooting everyone. It's great.
Speaker 1: But sadly, one of the bandits gets on Barrick and
Speaker 1: rides off. Now you think Barrik would just be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not fucking going.
Speaker 3: Eric would just like kick him off.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stand her. But Barrick, in a moment
Speaker 1: of madness, I guessed, and so uh Isildur is like, hey,
Speaker 1: mister Elf, great job. Can you help me get my horse?
Speaker 1: And arandars like no, well, Arnds. He's very very sad
Speaker 1: because he's got to go to Bronwyn's funeral.
Speaker 3: Shocking twisted I did.
Speaker 2: I actually had to look this up because I was like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, Bronwyn was amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure she did not die.
Speaker 2: I think it was more of like as she could die,
Speaker 2: But from what I looked up, it was a that
Speaker 2: the actress stepped away from acting during twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: to focus on activism, so she kind of didn't wasn't
Speaker 2: able to film the show.
Speaker 3: I was very sad. I was a bron Win fan.
Speaker 3: But yes, now she's dead.
Speaker 1: So Bronwynn got dost died off screened.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: THEO though sadly her all this still there, still a
Speaker 1: dick and when Arunder can't bring himself to set the
Speaker 1: Bronwin's pire alight because of course, you know, elves have
Speaker 1: a very different relationship to death, and they would never
Speaker 1: do this sort of thing. Uh, it's THEO who just
Speaker 1: does it. Yeah, he's like, fuck my mom, Fuck my mom.
Speaker 1: We go to Kazado. The dwarves are all lined up
Speaker 1: to talking. The dwarves are there is a big problem
Speaker 1: because you know, with the with the sunlight cut off,
Speaker 1: no crops growing, we're gonna need food really quick. And
Speaker 1: so they're like, can we get access to the grain reserves?
Speaker 1: And three is like, I'll think about it. Four comes
Speaker 1: before his dad to talk about the ring proposal from
Speaker 1: Keller Brinbore, and he says, I'm sorry that, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about and three says that you listen, I
Speaker 1: don't trust what's going on in Oregeon, which is the
Speaker 1: right idea. Yes, back with Aaron Deer in them. He's
Speaker 1: still very sad about Bronwin, but he's happy to see
Speaker 1: a Sildur after their battles together. THEO is also very
Speaker 1: sad that his mother has died.
Speaker 2: But he's as sad as he should be, much more sad.
Speaker 1: He's not at all guild ridden is. Sildur then tells
Speaker 1: THEO like how awesome New Minor is. And it's like
Speaker 1: you should come to newman Or. They have plumbing Like
Speaker 1: that's literally what he says. It's like there's plumbing and
Speaker 1: fountains and stuff like it's running waters great. Like yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like ground.
Speaker 2: Because because they he actually shows him. He's like, we
Speaker 2: actually built this. It's called an aqueduct. You guys could
Speaker 2: have had all these times. And Theo's like, what are
Speaker 2: you talking about?
Speaker 1: I don't know what are you talking about? I like
Speaker 1: I wipe my butt with my hand. Yeah, like and
Speaker 1: then THEO says, okay, well, it's to show his thanks
Speaker 1: for this offer to come nor He's like, listen, I
Speaker 1: know how you can get your horseback meet meat. Tonight
Speaker 1: is sil door chats with Estra, the survivor there. Estra
Speaker 1: it apparently has a fiance and there's no news of him.
Speaker 1: She has survivor's guilt. There's something weird about her, clearly,
Speaker 1: and when a Silver goes off with THEO, we see
Speaker 1: what it is. She's like got the brand of Adar
Speaker 1: on her and.
Speaker 2: She's like, okay, so is she doing Is she burning
Speaker 2: it off because she wants to be freed from a dog?
Speaker 2: Or is she burning off because she's there as a
Speaker 2: spy and she's like trying to catch up with this
Speaker 2: though I'm not sure I.
Speaker 3: Don't have to learn a lot about her.
Speaker 1: I the way I interpreted it as she was taken,
Speaker 1: captive and enslaved by it he's been doing to all
Speaker 1: the people of the Southlands, and maybe she escaped and
Speaker 1: is ashamed of this, because I think a dark can't
Speaker 1: be so dumb as to send people with his brand
Speaker 1: to be spied, Like just capture somebody, don't brand them,
Speaker 1: and that's like maybe your spy.
Speaker 3: That's a bad plan. I'll give it to you. I'll
Speaker 3: give it to it.
Speaker 1: THEO and a Silver sneak up to the bandit camp camp.
Speaker 1: THEO distracts the bandits by saying, hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: speaking of a doll brand, I'm super girls branded. I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: I like have done a lot of work for that guy.
Speaker 1: That guy, And they're about to seize THEO when the
Speaker 1: camp is suddenly like just ripped apart by something huge
Speaker 1: that seemed like end.
Speaker 2: And so much. Suddenly it's oh and why depending on
Speaker 2: the time, but yeah, it's it's I think it's the trees.
Speaker 1: So then a still do escapes on barrit we go
Speaker 1: to Murial's coronation. She's wearing white. Parizon is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's an off white. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Now citizens are fucking heck, they're They're in her ass.
Speaker 3: They are like like Friday night, like in your local
Speaker 3: an open mic.
Speaker 1: They are Hecker's tomatoes everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to my head, to my abou, his sists, you
Speaker 3: know that kind.
Speaker 1: Of she she she stops ceremony. She's like, listen, I
Speaker 1: see your grief, I feel it. I share it. And
Speaker 1: then in a very queen like way, she says, now
Speaker 1: shut up. So we could continue this, and Irian walks.
Speaker 3: Out, Oh my sage says, dramatic, ass fool.
Speaker 1: She says, nope, We're not gonna do that because you
Speaker 1: think I'm carrying a bowling ball. I I'm not carrying
Speaker 1: a bowling ball.
Speaker 3: Is actually.
Speaker 1: I have this magical bowling ball which I am presenting
Speaker 1: to you in the name of my fallen brother. Is
Speaker 1: seal door not dead. And she pulls the sheet off
Speaker 1: it and she's like, look at this, it's the elven
Speaker 1: pall andeery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the pal It's an elfstone.
Speaker 1: It's an elf stone. Our queen has been consulting with this.
Speaker 1: Who is ruling us? The queen or the elves? And
Speaker 1: everybody's like w and pharas I was like, whoaha, who whoa, whoa, whoa?
Speaker 1: Hold on, this is.
Speaker 2: Misunderstanding play from Pharas on Hair I'm not gonna play.
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. I was like, that is
Speaker 1: a very clever move from say no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Hold on, my wife would never consult with elves by
Speaker 1: my back. So just destroy rid of yeah, just throw it,
Speaker 1: throw it in the trash. And then Mirry was like no,
Speaker 1: She's like she could have been much more clean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's like, no, no, no, you could have
Speaker 2: been like, guys, you gotta understand, like the elves think
Speaker 2: they're using me, but I'm using the ouse. She could
Speaker 2: have gone for the galadrial defense Benstead. She's like, no,
Speaker 2: I love the Paletiner, I love my magical bolly. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And so the new in Orans freak out because they
Speaker 1: are there's there's tremendous anti elf feeling in Neumonora right now.
Speaker 1: They don't want anything to do with Elf culture, elf technology.
Speaker 1: They're historic ties with the elves. They don't want to
Speaker 1: that's they don't want to deal with that. So they
Speaker 1: do a fucking january.
Speaker 2: They're about to do a January. Say, they're trying to
Speaker 2: hang out as it's going.
Speaker 1: Back when the ceremonial eagle lands on the platform, and
Speaker 1: I think pretty clearly seems to choose first.
Speaker 4: As long as I.
Speaker 3: Think I think that what happened to me, I.
Speaker 1: Was like, you think he's just standing closer.
Speaker 2: I was like, the eagle's just there, so maybe this
Speaker 2: means he does like Miriel. But I think what was
Speaker 2: what really happened, And this was another smart.
Speaker 3: Move on the northern nobles.
Speaker 2: The double ends here. I think what happened is the
Speaker 2: eagle showed up. Everyone was like, whoa an eagle?
Speaker 3: And then he started going fat.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, yeah, so I think they took advantage of
Speaker 2: the eagle.
Speaker 3: BA the Muriel and how.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who are her support was Alendel.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a romance. I don't know where
Speaker 2: Muriel's support really comes from.
Speaker 1: That's a great point. Listen, Muriel, you gotta stack the
Speaker 1: coronation room with your like, where why isn't Valandil and
Speaker 1: his folks here? Get Valandial, get him in the room.
Speaker 3: Let this happen.
Speaker 2: He would have been chopping off tongues like he was,
Speaker 2: you know, thrones like he would not have had it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the queen is overthrown, and then we go
Speaker 1: to a reggaeon where Keller Brimbor, using the newly delivered Mythrill,
Speaker 1: forges more rings and very very foolishly. But of course
Speaker 1: he lets anatar who anatar is like, He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: let me touch let me touch the mythrill before it
Speaker 1: can I can I put it in the forge?
Speaker 3: Please? Controlling him, I'm like, guy, please, my guy.
Speaker 1: And they drops it in the melter, and there's obviously
Speaker 1: a big fucking mistake.
Speaker 2: And obviously I think we do get to see, we
Speaker 2: get we get to here a little bit of that
Speaker 2: famous rhyme you know about all the rings. So I'm
Speaker 2: assuming here that he is making the elves rings. Like
Speaker 2: that's what we're seeing is because Sarah's not stupid. He's
Speaker 2: not like, come here, bring that mythroll for the men.
Speaker 2: He's like, let me make these rings that are gonna
Speaker 2: help you out. Yeah, it's gonna be only good things.
Speaker 2: Definitely completely selfless of me to make these rings.
Speaker 1: Well, uh, two fun episodes. I would just ask that
Speaker 1: the Rings of Power names some of their characters.
Speaker 3: Yes, I want to know the names.
Speaker 1: And I will say, like the surn stuff is the
Speaker 1: best stuff. I'm really enjoying the stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm loving it. I'm loving the Suren stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm loving the way that they have actually reframed the
Speaker 2: show as if he is the main character.
Speaker 1: So yes, which is wise.
Speaker 2: I think while we are like laughing at how easy
Speaker 2: things go him, that is the nature of being the protagonist.
Speaker 2: Like things work out for you, you go to different
Speaker 2: places and things occur. That's like storytelling, and yeah, so
Speaker 2: it's very funny to see that. I'm sure he will
Speaker 2: have some mild challenges or and did kind of almost appear.
Speaker 3: To be one of those. But yeah, I'm loving that.
Speaker 2: I'm loving the horrory elements, like when we saw Keller
Speaker 2: Brimble getting all like eaten up by the tree or
Speaker 2: the people being dragged along by the chain, so it
Speaker 2: was all very spooky.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to hopefully see the ents next episode.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing maybe THEO will finally stop being such a
Speaker 2: little jack off and it'll be like, you know, he'll
Speaker 2: be like a little He'll.
Speaker 3: Be he'll be like learning something from the Ens. I
Speaker 3: don't know what happened to Norii. She got blown away.
Speaker 2: I thought that was rather hilarious actually, so we'll see
Speaker 2: where she ends up.
Speaker 3: When will they admit he's Gandalf? Okay, let's do odds.
Speaker 2: Do you think that he's gonna they're gonna admit he's
Speaker 2: Gandalf this season or are.
Speaker 3: We gonna have to wait?
Speaker 1: I think I think it has to be.
Speaker 3: It has to be.
Speaker 1: I think it's getting crazy now, like it's got to
Speaker 1: be within the next couple episodes, not end of season.
Speaker 1: Like I think he's as fine Man, so yeah. On
Speaker 1: the next couple of episodes of Extra Vision, we're continuing
Speaker 1: the eighty fifth anniversary celebration of Batman with a deep
