Yeah, felt like we got an entirely different show or studio halfway through this series. There was a bit of acting and pacing issues all throughout but compared to what else available today RINGS OF POWER is very decent in comparison. I'm still very curious what a TV adaptation by Peter Jackson would've looked like and was a bit surprised that they really thought hiding that twist behind a guy whose name was basically "hell" "brand" which sounds like "fire" and "ring" was a good idea but Adar was a nice red herring. I sparknoted the books in school so I had no idea that there were elves who had been kidnapped, tortured, and brainwashed by Morgoth.

"Halbrand", now this makes sense and felt little bit stupid 😅 after your explanation 🤣🤣. Hiding in plain sight.
And about the fallen elves, I didn't know where they really came from. This show cleared that for me. I think I need to rewatch LOTR again😅.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated 😁.
You're welcome! Anytime! I couldn't stomach the books when I was younger but maybe -- hopefully -- I can get through at least one or a full trilogy now that I'm older. I'm also interested in the Silmarillion but I feel that completing the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit might be more appropriate first since that was composed after Tolkien's death by his son Christopher and may not have been completed as intended.
I just wanted to finish the book "hobbit" but couldn't, just because I get bored easily. But its really good to read the books. J.J. really takes you to another realm by his writings. Explains every scene, emotions. Sometimes I wish that I had patience for reading 😭.
Silmarillion is on another level. like for die hard fans of J.J. and you are too. Go ahead and read. maybe you can give some insight on that someday 😁
Yeah the Tolkien universe is a very interesting world and if anything the Silmarillion could be a super informative lead since it revolves around major players from the universe's early periods. I'd like to read the Hobbit too. Bilbo seemed like a good character in the movies
All begins with a hobbit😁. I read couple of chapters too and they were good. Happy Reading
