Rings Reforged: A Rings of Power Podcast

This week, we learned how hard it is to discuss an episode the day after - especially one as good as this - because, coherent thoughts how? Doomed to Die was spectacular, and we are flailing.
We kick off with Kissgate (00:03:38) so if you're tired of talking about it by now, you can jump ahead. From there, we're a little bit all over the place, so timestamps were difficult, but it goes something like this...
We love on Celebrimbor breaking free and being a badass (00:21:27) before a quick talk on death and Mirdania (00:28:58). We then talk about the incredible scene with Brimby and Galadriel (00:34:54) before a quick dip into ARONDIR IS ALIVE (00:40:51). We then ask WILL HE COME and cry a bit (00:43:03) before discussing our guy Adar (00:47:59). Finally, we wrap up some bits and bobs (00:50:04) before tackling deathwatch and some finale speculation (00:56:40).
Friends. We are mere days away. *deep breaths* *SCREAMS*

We are back to REFORGE our opinions on Alloyed (Part I) - the season one finale of The Rings of Power.
After over a year away, we made the decision to split the finale in two so it wouldn't be too long...turns out we still had a LOT to say about the Stranger being Sauron, about the Harfoots being awesome, and about shipping a ship on a ship. Oh, and Earien is there as well.
All things Eregion + the Hall of Lore coming in Part II!

We welcome special guest, Rotem Rusak (Editor in Chief at Nerdist) to reforge our opinions on everybody's favourite anti-hero (or hero-hero), Adar.
From Joseph Mawle to Sam Hazeldine, from unknown villain to tortured father. We've all been on a journey with this character, and it's a journey that has (in the show, at least) come to an end. So what better time to reflect?
We talk with Rotem, resident Adar expert, about her anticipation for TROP before Adar was a known entity, her fears over the recast, and the highs and lows of the character.
Then we all return to a the Hall of Lore to choose our favourite Adar quote, musical moment, scene and...Adar's personal MVP.
It was an absolute pleasure chatting with Rotem, and you can find her here: @Moondancer1626

This week, we take a slightly different approach because we're already so close to the next episode, picking THREE topics each to surprise the other with. There was a little bit of crossover, but we still managed to cover a good chunk of WHERE IS HE?
After introductions, we kick off with thoughts on Earien (00:02:47), how she's being presented on the show, and her relationship with Elendil. We then jump to discussing Durin's grief (00:16:22) before pivoting to love for Disa (00:20:23) and...well...fear for Disa.
Next, we appreciate the Adar/Galadriel scenes (00:25:41) before diving specifically into the fun framing of Adar/Sauron against Sauron/Galadriel (00:41:23). Then we ponder Annatar's illusion (00:48:18) and go on a tirade about why it's important for evil to be nuanced in fiction (00:55:08).
Finally, we wrap up with DEATHWATCH (01:00:59). This isn't spoiler based, but if you want to avoid speculation, maybe skip this bit and come back to join us after episode 7!

We are back to REFORGE our opinions on Alloyed (Part II) - the season one finale of The Rings of Power.
This time we cover all things Eregion, which means we dig into the end of Hal&Gal, the rise of the Dark Lord, and enjoy our little sliver of Detective Elrond. We spend a lot of time just reading the script for this one because it's So. Good. And then we dive back into the final Hall of Lore to highlight some particular favourites!
