    Has anyone considered that Sauron became Sauron out of sheer frustration from living with Galadriel for a few months? Thanks Galadriel.

      I whole heartedly believe Sauron was on his way to Valinor to turn himself in, then he was afflicted by Galadriel and just dragged along until he figured he'd save the elves and maybe she'd let him go, so he did and she tried to kill him, and the at that point he realized that if he went back, she'd follow and everyone in Valinor would have to suffer her for eternity and so he made the ultimate sacrifice and decided to become the Dark Lord to make her stay in exile. Sauron, the true hero of Middle Earth.

Or how unnatural characters act, getting hysterical over nothing, preaching political lies, or being completely backwards etc.

    The worst part to me is that not only have they destroyed her character by making her things she isn't, but they've also stripped her of one of her greatest abilities. The ability to see through deceptions and illusions. Galadriel was the first to see through Anatar and perceive his true identity, but Saurbrand has completely escaped her detection. Awesome...

      Well, you have to remember that in RoP, Middle Earth is TINY. Either that or they've given Galadriel the ability to warp time and space around herself.
      How else did she travel, on foot, from the frozen north back to Eregion (a trip of about 800 miles) in just a couple days?
      How else did she sail from Middle Earth to Valinor (around 1500 miles) in just a couple days?
      How else did she enable the Numenorians to sail from Numenor to the southlands (about 1000 miles) in two days?
      When she jumped into the sea, none of the other elves were concerned because they figured she'd just warp space again and allow herself to swim back to Middle Earth in an hour or two.

      Why have you made me shed a tear from my right eye? Oh, Lord! I feel a bawling coming on. I think I should just go cry. Hail Galadriel!

    I genuinely feel for Morfydd Clark, an absolute dream part which sadly she doesn't seem to be able to fill, too young to challenge the script writers, having to deliver her lines totally dead pan, is it her choice or is that the direction, don't know but its going to be hard for her recover from this disaster.

      Cate Blanchett was almost at the same age as hers when she played Galadriel in lotr, but thank god Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh did her justice.

      Yes, but face it - the writers didn't exactly give Clark much to work with. Even the luminous Cate Blanchett couldn't breathe life into this turd of a script.

    I have a feeling this series is going to kick off a new generation of Mystery Science 3000. It fits perfectly.

    Still doesn't seem like that plastic armor they wear in the second age of Amazon's middle earth is going to do much in battle. But Galadriel's plot armor is invincible.

      You are incorrect. Galadriel is plot's armor.

    I am a life long Tolkien fan and could not make it past few episodes. The show feels like someone took Tolkiens life work and shat on it. The skill it takes to make all these characters lame is amazing

      Not sure if you are a Star Wars fan, but there’s one movie I’ll recommend you that is as amazing as this series, it’s called The Rise of Skywalker; a masterpiece.
