Episode three of The Rings of Power

Episode three of The Rings of Power has left us with a lot of questions regarding Halbrand's plot. I'm going to give my opinion about it and what I still think of The rings of power!

The opening of the third episode introduces us with a fascinating landscape! Each shot, lighting, rhythm in the sequences of scenes has seemed very good to me and also coped, something that I continue to highlight a lot is the photography and all the technical work behind it, very well done.
Beginning, Stories of the Second Age in Middle Earth! We have Galadriel and Halbrand arriving in Numenor and with this we see the plot at the height of the character development of (Halbrand) someone being very strategic, manipulative, intelligent, bold, and wanting to gain the trust of every single human in Númenor. , which by the way begins to achieve it over time and establishes an almost close relationship.

Also the development in the plot of Galadriel begins to accentuate and the Plot Twist in her plot and in Halbrand's begins to have greater clarity, we see Galadriel have access to the map, which has a relief (design) with the mark of Sauron the island, something that was already known from the first two episodes, a small introduction to the plot of Sauron and what will come in the future.
The mark of Sauron on the body of Galadriel's brother, the sword that Theo has hidden, the future or past vision (Flashback) of Galadriel seeing Sauron's mark again prior to the battle, and now on the map, many clear indications to a first season in 3 episodes.
Now is when we wonder if Halbrand is Sauron? Personally and in my opinion I think he is, Sauron is a very strategic, manipulative, intelligent and audacious person, someone who is not very easily persuaded, that is Sauron really, the theory makes sense when we rely on the books and we see that Sauron was on a ship (ship), which he arrives at Númenor and begins to take over everything. Sinking Númenor and sending his troops or followers to the rest of the cities to take more control.
And again we have the stranger in episode three along with the hairy, The stranger is GANDALF? yes or no? I think we're going to find that out in the next few episodes, and the first word the stranger says is: Friend
