Wow... even the Uruks at Helm's Deep understood they needed a phalanx set up going up the causeway. These guys are just slowly walking up a straight, narrow passage with essentially no armor, no shields, few helms even, and they're all carrying torches (even though Orcs don't need light). Who tf actually watches this stuff and enjoys it? It's so frustrating to me. The show is insulting the audience's intelligence.
One of the most frustrating parts of this show was that the whole season hinged on this boring mystery box over “which named character on screen will be Sauron?” It was never an interesting question to tie an entire show around. Is it Halbrand? (Yes, people called it as early as episode 2) Is it the guy who looks like Gandalf who hangs with the pre-hobbits? (Def no because he looks like a young Gandalf) Is it Adar? (Snooooooooooore)
Oh man, I hate to defend this show even for a moment, but when Arondir shoots an Orc through the door? It's not "open again", it's showing you things happening at the same time. Movies and shows use this type of editing to show 2 or more things happening simultaneously all the time. Yes, it looks like it closed, was suddenly open, and then closed again. But that's just something we have to deal with unless we're editing simultaneous actions with a split screen approach. That technique is arguably worse. It definitely would've made this scene even worse, at least.
This is definitely the place for that Austin Powers meme: "It is shit, Austin."

Sadly this is just fish in a barrel.
