When you see it you can't unsee it: Fidget spinner

For very boring council meetings.

Whoever made the costumes for Rings of Power sure do like weird looking gold and pearls. The second age were aparently not the age of jewelry making. (unless you are Celebrimbor and Sauron).

Really does make you miss and apreciate the Peter Jackson movies costume department a lot more. They did a great job making it so that each of the different races and peoples had their own characteritic design, style and culture. Separating them from each other.

The costumes in Rings of power looks like they all were designed by the same designer. There's not much that separate the different races. Only the Silvan elves weird wooden armor stands out, but once this is gone, you can't really differentiate between the humans and the elves.

Isildur and the Rings of power: the golden trio of Numenor.

The awkward lanky side-kick, the chosen one, the bookworm.

bonus:

Her father will hear about this.

The elves leaving Valinor:

Me and my sister was talking about Rings of power ep1, and I said something about how the elves left Valinor like a bunch of hattifatners in all their tiny boats. She loved it and said I had to make a comparison, so here it is. Please enjoy.

Even the pictures of the elves traveling back to Valinor fits the descripton.

We were all deceived! :)

Elrond is the real Sauron. He is in Eregion charming and helping Celebrimbor make the rings, and earning the trust of the dwarves using politics, bringing them together to secretly take them all down. This is why he has the ability to teleport between places and he is so skilled in breaking rocks (secret blacksmith). Halbrand is just a distraction who dont know if he is suppose to be from the south or early rohan.

You never know in this show. It could be true :) Elrond does seem to get every other characters story except for his own so far so....

edit: I just figured out this is why the painting in Numenor looks so weird. Sauron went there and photoshopped himself over Elrond. That is why "Elrond" looks so different then the rest of the painting.

Lore question

I don't know much of the lore from the Silmarillion and the second age, but I think the second age is supposed to be really long and Sauron is visiting a lot of places. So where is he actually suppose to be in this show? I dont understand the timeline , also they just keep jumping around from one place to another and have important stuff happening off-screen.

Since from what I have gathered ; He is in the Southlands building an army, in Eregion with Celebrimbor convincing him to make the rings, manipulation both the dwarves and Gil-galad, playing hide'n seek with Galadriel all over Middle-earth, maybe traveling with the harfoots and is also infiltrating Numenor. All at the same time. So yeah.....the question is where is he suppose to be?

Great battle of tiny village

why does the rings of power feel like they have just been building up to this "battle" and nothing happened. Why did Galadriel even recruit the numenorians? I mean, they didn't even make a difference. Apparently the few villagers managed to hold back the orcs and fight them off totally fine. Why where the numenorians even there? they knew where they where going since the calculated how long it would take them to arrive but no one is suppose to know what's going on in the Southlands. All the elves who were there died and Arondir didn't send a messege or anything. Galadriel only have a hunch that Sauron maybe is there. Not any conformation, just a really old piece of paper with instruction she don't even know if Sauron is following. And she doesn't know of any army, just suspecting he is bulding up his forces. And since Galadriel didn't know of these orcs attacking people, what was the numenorian army even suppose to fight? Galadriel didn't even know Adar existed. she could have seen it in the palatir but they only used it to show the flood vision, nothing more. Also shouldn't someone sent a message to the elves who where managing the area and have them meet up with Galadriel and the numenorian army and then have her lead their forces insted of the numenorians? Why does it feel like Galadriel rekruited the numenorians just to free a small village she didn't even know existed or needed help. Why is this such a great victory? they just saved a few people and an already destroyed village. most of the orcs were also already dead or gone.

And I guess the biggest question I currently have is, why is there so few poeple in this world? the village; maybe 30 peolpe total and half left, and they all seem to randomly appear or disappear. Numenorians; lookls like maybe 100 horses, but the army seems to disappear later and maybe 30 people going around the village and that is generous. it's like only the main characters exist and others just show up to deliver some lines and then disappear again. And don't get me started on the orcs; the Great army of what? 50 orcs or something. What great battle they all fought. It was good that the numenorians all trained to fight on foot since it's not like they where all fighting on horseback or something. I mean, It sure was worth going trough all the trouble to get the numenorian army there, right?

travel distance in rings of power is weird

I think it is very strange that Galadriel and Halbrand travelled from Mordor to Eregion in only 6 days. In lotr Boromir travelled almost the same distance in 110 days. (I looked this up on a wiki). Even if he lost his horse in Tharbad, it should still take Galadriel more than 6 days. She is travelling with a mortally wounded person, therefore she should be more careful and probably take longer than if she was alone. The speed they apparently travelled with should have killed Halbrand long before they even made it to Eregion.
