It's technically not their fault but Berek means "tag (the game)" in Polish which is a bit funny...
DON'T GO IN THERE! Why are you going in there? I thought horses were supposed to be easily-scared
Ah, it's Isildur. Glad they didn't drag out this pointless mystery any longer.
I'm not even scared of (normal-sized) spiders, but Eeesh
It irks me that it's not my slightly creepy interpretation of Númenórean burial customs, but I'm semi-interested in the funeral proceedings. They cut them too short though.
Unfortunately the stupid blindness plot development is now back. If they wanted diversity points they should have made her disabled since childhood, and it would actually be interesting rather than melodramatic.
I keep wanting to remind these people Pharazon is the same age as Miriel (I mean I guess it might be weird Númenórean aging, but I feel it's misrepresenting things and I don't like it because their messed-up relationship fascinates me)
Huh, I wonder whether he'll trick her with the colours.
Númenóreans cannot choose a king at will!
They brought up stone giants; I hope they won't again. I know they're mentioned in the Hobbit (Bilbo's elaboration imo) but uhh, the movies made a poor use of them and I doubt this would make a better one.
Celebrimor's Celpatine's actor is a really kindly-looking aging man! He just doesn't fit the character at all. Wish they'd found a better place for him.
He actually reminds me of Bilbo...
Why did they have to destroy elven politics to such an extent? The real Gil-Galad doesn't rule Eregion.
Huh, I wonder if that's gonna be Isildur's love interest...
Estrid really doesn't feel like a name for a Southlander
riding horseback together, alone in the forest... 😘😘😘
So Bronwyn's dead. In between seasons. What was that plot thread even for.
Maybe they realised the issues with a mortal-immortal romance, but this does not solve them. And I bet Arondir will mention her at most once or twice more and everyone will forget about her.
Beleriand was a continent, not a realm 🤦♀️
Why is Theo so vehement towards Arondir all of a sudden. I mean, I guess it's not unrealistic for a teenager who just suffered great loss, but it comes from nowhere thematically.
Huh. Estrid's mark is a new development, but I still think they'll end up together. (No, I don't ship them. I have my own OC for Isildur's wife. But I know enough about tropes to suspect things.)
✨Pretty dress✨ Almost Byzantine-inspired, I think.
Miriel's speech might feel more moving if the whole battle it's about wasn't so dumb. Although I kind of doubt it.
✨Eärien's dress✨
What is it with the Palantir business🤦♀️
Númenoreans are hardly less "magical" than elves for that matter. They wouldn't be afraid of palantri!
Eagles aren't dumb beasts of omen you can co-opt to your purposes.
Lil Bro: And the people who chose Pharazon did not care for symbols of the Valar. Preach.
Tl;dr: A MESS
