Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTar-Míriel describes herself as "daughter of Ar-Inziladûn". "Inziladûn" ("Flower of the West") is the name of Míriel's father, Tar-Palantir, in Adûnaic, the human language of Númenor, in favor of which the Elvish languages were suppressed.
- Quotes
Theo: I've killed Orcs before, you know.
Galadriel: When I was your age, there was no such thing as Orcs.
Theo: And now? How many have you killed?
Galadriel: Many.
Theo: Good.
Galadriel: I would not use such words.
Theo: Why not?
Galadriel: It darkens the heart to call dark deeds "good." It gives place for evil to thrive inside us. Every war is fought both without and within. Of that, every soldier must be mindful.

Instead of revealing more of the shows mysteries, it meanders from scene to scene, conversation to conversation. Some of the dialogue is good and I found of few of said conversations to be emotional, especially the ones with Durin and Elrond.
We finally get a good look at the Mystics, and before we know it they're gone! We learn nothing about them, we learn nothing about the Stranger's identity, and nothing about who Sauron is. To make matters worse, the promotional images and videos for the episode actually teased that more would happen. "Evil Finally Reveals Itself'' , "The Time Has Come'' , and "More Will Be Revealed''. They literally lied to us when teasing this episode, which is why I'm more upset than I otherwise would be.
In conclusion, this is my least favorite episode. This is coming from someone who has liked the series for the most part, however this as a penultimate episode doesn't do it's job. Instead of building upon the previous episode and mounting momentum, it drags its feet and goes almost nowhere with the plot. There were enough nice scenes between characters for me to sit through it, but thanks to some terrible marketing for the episode, I was left feeling a sense of longing for more.
