The Rings of Power S1E06 - Udun

Decoding TV

10/02/22 • 64 min

Support this podcast by becoming a paid member at DecodingTV.com!

David Chen and Don Marshall discuss the fifth episode of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: ‘Udun.’ A visually spectacular and intense episode that begins tying up many of the plotlines introduced earlier this season.

Is this The Rings of Power’s first “hard R” episode? What are the homages to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings? Who lives and who dies at the end of this thing? For answers and speculations that address these questions (and many more), listen to the episode!
