    Havent commented before, but I'll be honest, one of my first thoughts when this ep finished this morning was, 'Wig watch is going to be great this week!'

    Re: Sauron getting a new wig.
    My guy just loves the immortal words of Hannah Montana (written by Taylor Swift): “You can change your hair and you can change your clothes. You can change your mind, that’s just the way it goes. You can say ‘goodbye’ (our gal Gal) and you can say ‘hello’ (to Celly) but you’ll always find your way back home (Mordor)” 😂

    Going to be broken for Elrond for a long time, and I really liked when Celebrimbor called Sauron out on his delusion.

    That kiss gave zero romance so I’m having g a heard time with why everyone thought it was so egregious. Like it for sure felt like watching two cousins kissing, but for the sake of subterfuge to give Galadriel a means of escape 🤷🏼‍♀️ There was love in the scene because they are friends who care deeply about one another. But it wasn’t gross or like oooooh romance out of no where (in my opinion anyway)
    Also, I always eagerly await for these videos to drop. Love the care and fun you guys always have with the show.

      Its more so that the decision was absolutely baffling. Elrond could have done a hundred other things to give her that thing (an Orc is literally looking towards his hand when he gives it to her lol) but the writers chose to have them kiss. Its just unnecessarily makes them both weird

    @48:25 the word for that type of love comes from the Greek: AgapÉ. It's brotherly love. It's the bond of fellowship.
    Love can have that depth without it being romantic lol.

    If you watch the ending thing they do at the end of each episode the showrunners state that the siege has been going on for weeks. So not hours.

    you nailed why the kiss felt earned, even though i'm hard on the Galadriel x Sauron camp. it felt emotional, a goodbye and an unknowable forgiveness, plus the tactical end

    Was Nenya healing Adar of his cottage-cheese face? I swear he looked a little less pock-marked and little more rosy at the episode's end. I think he even had a little golden highlight in his hair.

      You do realize in the actual lote Elrond is the son in law of Galadriel. She is married Celeborn who is not dead or ever died in the books. Galadriel had a daughter, Celebrian, who marries Elrond. The is the mother of Arwen, explain how everything can still work canonially.

    I understand the reason for it but the fact that Galadriel has spent a full season sizzling with Sauron and we've been waiting 2 seasons for Celeborn... only for the only time we see her kiss someone in the show to be with ELROND??? I want to rip my hair out a little bit lol

    It was a great episode, but that very stupid kiss ruined it. Should have just been on her forehead and then I'd say this episode was great. They keep having these little poorly done moments that just make the episodes feel cheap or just straight up confusing. Then moments later they have the Celebrimbor speech about light instead of strength to Galadriel that was amazing and can be a powerful turning point for her character. It is so up and down. I have defended this show a lot and still really enjoy most of it, but that kiss and the coming Gandalf reveal is really testing my ability to be accepting of their story adaptations.

      Did you perhaps miss that it wasn't romantic, it was an intentionally melodramatic performance for the sake of slipping her the lock pick?
