    Actually the kiss was by far not of the worst part of the episode, in my tip worst moments I am not sure if it even made the list.
    Hitting a mountain with trebuchet to generate a rock slide that happens to perfectly bloch a river the size of the Nile(!!) and no water spills over this impromptu dam has to be one of the most insane things I ever watchen in a TV series. Second would be 500 horses doing a full charge and perfectly stopp within 20 yards 3 feet in front of the enemy line. Also love that oil in this show is basicall napalm

    Historical dramas combine characters, introduce new ones, put events out of order, introduce ahistorical events or omit historical events. "Lore" changes in a portrayal of an Age that is only described in chronicle form are expected and it's pointless to point out each one. But the central image of the tale of the Rings-in the Council of Elrond, in the Appendices, in the Silmarillion treatment-is the moment when Sauron forged the ring, put it on his finger, and spoke the Black Speech couplet that all remember, and at that moment, Celebrimbor realized he was betrayed, and the Three were taken off and hidden. In the Rings of Power version, the forging of the One Ring will be an anticlimax. "Oh, he forged a Master Ring? Well, that's annoying."

    Elves are not humans, they act and think differently than men. But this show made an effort to present them as some kind of modern office co-workers.

    The part of the episode that really took me out of it was that scene between Celebrimbor and Sauron where Sauron talked about being tortured by Morgoth and how he eventually saw it as a game and found pleasure in it since it proved that he had the stronger will. It was just really weird and it does not make sense that Morgoth would torture his servants because then why would they be loyal to him? Towards the end they also used heavy CGI on Adar's face that looked strange and was unnecessary. Overall, just a super lore breaking episode.

    A-Dull's whole deal is that he wants to protect the orcs because he loves them very-very much.
    He betrays SaurBro because he was mean to them when he lead them. (Except S2E01 shows that he never lead them and couldn't do any of that).
    He then holds an orcs hand into the sun for it to immediately burn in S1 for no reason. Because if you love your kids, you randomly torture them.
    Then he loves them again.
    Then he smiles at the troll who gives him his child's head.
    Then he loves them again.
    Then he send them to die in Eregion and even sends in the troll even though he knows he will kill them.
    Then he loves them again.

    You are completely bashing Disa and as a women I should stand up for her but... I just can't. She is as insufferable, if not more, than this Galadriel. Why they wrote her this way, why she portrays it horribly, and why in interviews she seems happy with it is way beyond me. Scenes are cringe, her dialogue or monologue makes no sense, the delivery falls flat and her motives make no sense either. Girl bosses are horrible because guess what: bosses in general are horrible. They boss people around without sympathy or empathy or any human emotions and we as the people come together in bashing/rising up against them so why make recurring characters just like a boss?
    If you want to write something good for women, make them girl leaders. Leaders is what we crave for in stories, not bosses. Oh, because guess what. Galadriel already was a leader in the books and movies, but this new generation of hollywood does not know that anymore.
    also: why the hell would annatar put a mouse in a hallucination. an actual deceiver would've paid attention to these details. he made his blood look like mithril but does not realise a mouse or non-burning candles? or that the fire never goes out? or.... flipping mirrors. or that paper thin window that can apparantly shatter the sounds part his illusion (because the visuals kept going). They could've easily had a good illusion which then starts to crack as Celerimbor starts being an actual elf and use his brain and realize with logical, and not cartoonish, deduction what is going on. He then realizes Annatar is the maker of this misery, confronts him and then we would've built-up an epic fight scene between them. but noooo, galadriel had to be the one fighting him so this setup was reduced to him crying and all of the sudden being a pincushion. Did I miss the part where A took C down with the first few arrows or something? why do major events happen off-screen?
    TL;DR: bleh.

    I am so tired of people hating on this show. Yes it is not perfect This show is NOT LOTR. It is an ORIGINAL story. It does not have to follow Tolkeins lore and time lines. You need to watch it as if LOTR did not exist. If you saw this show and had never heard of the LOTR before you would not be so negative.

      Then why the fuck didn't they made an original show instead of slapping Tolkien's name on this abomination?! You either call it LOTR and respect Tolkien's lore or you make your original show and do whatever you want with it. You don't get to call it LOTR, then proceed to shit all over Tolkien's lore and then be pissed that Tolkien's fans hate it. That's not how it works with this fandom.
