Had a listen to this earlier. Good stuff and definitely getting hyped for the second season. Smol correction (two years later) but Isildur swinging at Sauron is purely a movie invention. In the books Gil GaDaddy and Elendilf overthrow Sauron together and Isildur saunters in and cuts the ring off Sauron's hand after he's dead. Hence the line 'weregild'. He's just a Viking looting bodies at that point...
