We discuss the finale in spoiler filled detail in this podcast.The Rings Of Power Season 2 Episode 8 DetailsEpisode Written by J.D. Payne & Patrick McKayEpisode Directed by Charlotte BranstromEpisode 8 SynopsisPrince Durin confronts his father, the King, as the King goes against all the advice of his son and Narvi his advisor, and opens a large mithril deposit under Khazad-dûm. The Balrog that lives below the mithril mine, awoken by this activity, attacks King Durin III and in the ensuing fight the King is lost as the entrance to the cavern collapses. In the aftermath, Prince Durin assumes his place as the next in line to the throne.Meanwhile, in Rhun, the Stranger goes to the Stoors' canyon to help Nori Brandyfoot and Poppy Proudfellow. He rejects the Dark Wizard's offer to supplant Sauron and the Dark Wizard destroys the canyon. The Stoors, who refer to the Stranger as "Grand Elf", are forced to find a new home and are joined by Nori and Poppy. The Stranger takes a branch from a tree in the canyon as his staff. Returning to Tom Bombadil, the Stranger says he will come to be known as "Gandalf".In Numenor, Ar-Pharazôn learns from the palantír that Halbrand was actually Sauron in disguise and accuses Míriel of aligning herself with Sauron, discrediting the results of her trial by the Valar. Hungry for power, Ar-Pharazon has all members of the Faithful accused of treason and arrested. Despite following Ar-Pharazôn to this point, Eärien warns Elendil and he avoids capture. He attempts to escape with Míriel but she refuses to join him, giving him the sword Narsil and sending him to reclaim his lordship in the west of Númenor.On Middle Earth, Kemen claims Pelargir as a military outpost for Númenor on behalf of his father and demands the Southlanders and Wild Men cut down the forest in exchange for shelter and supplies. Isildur and Estrid acknowledge their feelings for one another and he asks her to return to Númenor with him, but Kemen does not allow this and Isildur leaves Estrid with Hagen.In Eregion, Sauron tortures and kills Celebrimbor. He is approached by Glûg, an Orc who has grown disillusioned with Adar's leadership. Galadriel finds Adar in his original Elf-form, as revealed by Nenya, and he returns the ring to her before he is killed by Glûg and other Orcs that have pledged themselves to Sauron. Sauron attacks Galadriel and takes the nine rings for Men, but she jumps off a cliff before he can take Nenya. Durin IV sends his army to aid the Elves, allowing Elrond, Gil-galad, Arondir, and other survivors to escape to a valley north of the city. Elrond and Gil-galad use the Elven rings to heal Galadriel, and the Elves resolve to stand against Sauron's army as it marches across Middle-earth.Made Possible with PatreonTV Podcast Industries is made possible by our supporters on Patreon.

We discuss the episode in spoiler filled detail in this podcast.The Rings Of Power Season 2 Episode 7 DetailsSeason 2 Episode 7 "Doomed To Die"Episode Written by J.D. Payne & Patrick McKay and Justin DobleEpisode Directed by Charlotte BranstromEpisode 7 SynopsisIn peaceful Eregion Celembrimbor happily toils away at the nine rings of power for mortal men. But he notices signs that he is trapped in an illusion. He confronts Annatar, who ends the illusion and reveals that Celebrimbor has made the nine rings using Sauron's blood rather than mithril.Needing support to take on Adar’s army, Elrond comes to Khazad-dûm and asks Prince Durin to send aid to Eregion. Durin agrees and inspires the Dwarfs to rise up to stand side by side with the elves. But when his father King Durin attacks his own men, Prince Durin calls off his support of Eregion to defend Khazad Dûm. Elrond, Gil-galad, and the Elves of Lindon arrive at Eregion to attack the Uruk army. But Adar reveals his prisoner, Galadriel, stopping them in their assault as they discuss terms but Adar only offers an ultimatum to Elrond. Galadriel will only be exchanged for her ring of power, Nenya. But Elrond refuses to give up the ring. He bids farewell to Galadriel, kissing her to cover up the lockpick he secretly passes to her.That night, Galadriel escapes with the help of Arondir, who has arrived in Eregion after following the trails left by the Uruks'. And they both sneak into the city of Eregion. Celebrimbor attempts to escape with the nine rings and finds Galadriel. Celebrimbor insists that Galadriel take the nine rings far away from Eregion while he stays to delay Sauron from getting his hands on them. Meanwhile Adar sends wave after wave of Uraks to their death to break through the city walls of Eregion. Glûg, his closest supporter, pleads with him to call a retreat. But with a glimmer of victory in sight, Adar sends in Damrod the Hill Troll who sacrifices even more Uruks in his assault on Eregion’s wall. He is attacked by Elrond, Arondir and High King Gil Galad, who working together, fell the Troll just in time. As the sun rises, a small number of Elves outside the city are faced with a new wave of Uruks led by Adar. Elrond and his small force held out all night but when Prince Durin does not arrive to support them, their group are overwhelmed. Arondir tries to attack Adar but he is cut down and left for dead. Adar confronts the heartbroken Elrond and takes Nenya from him with ease as Celebrimbor is left to face Sauron alone.Made Possible with PatreonTV Podcast Industries is made possible by our supporters on Patreon.

D. Payne and Patrick McKayBased on "The Lord of the Rings" and appendices by J.R.R. TolkienEpisode 5 "Halls of Stone" SynopsisDwarven King Durin III uses one of the new Rings of Power to help rebuild the Dwarves' infrastructure and bring sunlight back to Khazad-dûm. The ring also makes him uncharacteristically greedy, and he dismisses a warning from Disa that they could be awakening something evil that lives beneath the mines. In Eregion, Annatar insists that they start work on Rings of Power for Men but Celebrimbor refuses to be involved. When Durin IV expresses his concerns about the Dwarven rings to Celebrimbor, Annatar suggests that the negative impacts are being caused by Celebrimbor lying to Gil-galad about making more rings. Celebrimbor agrees to help make rings for Men in an attempt to redeem his work on the Dwarven rings. The new king of Númenor, Ar-Pharazôn, tasks his son Kemen with cracking down on members of the Faithful who remain loyal to Míriel. Kemen interrupts a memorial service that members of the Faithful are holding, leading to a fight with Isildur's friend Valandil that ends with Kemen killing him. Isildur's father Elendil is blamed for starting a riot and arrested. After witnessing the waiting hordes at Eregion, Elrond returns to Lindon and warns the high king Gil-galad of the impending attack.Episode 6 “Where Is He?” SynopsisIn Eregion, Celebrimbor focuses on making rings for Men. Annatar offers to take care of the city's administration and gives him a container which he claims to hold mithril. Outside the city, Adar tells Galadriel that the crown of Sauron's master, Morgoth, was able to destroy Sauron's previous physical form. He believes that together, the crown and the Elven Rings of Power could destroy Sauron for good. In Númenor Elendil refuses to pledge his loyalty to Ar-Pharazôn and is sentenced to trial by abyss, in which he would be thrown into the sea to face a giant creature, the Sea Worm and the judgment of the Valar. Queen Regent Míriel claims the right to be tried in Elendil's stead; the Sea Worm spares her life and the Faithful hail her as the "Queen of the Sea". Meanwhile in Rhun, Tom Bombadil takes the Stranger to a forest of dead trees where he is meant to find his true staff. The Stranger has a vision of Nori and Poppy being threatened by the Dark Wizard and must decide between helping his friends and fulfilling his destiny. Outside the gates of Eregion, Galadriel realizes that Sauron has lured Adar's army there because he does not have an army of his own but Adar ignores her concerns and begins the Siege of Eregion.Made Possible with PatreonTV Podcast Industries is made possible by our supporters on Patreon.

They are attacked by Wild Men who steal Berek, and are saved by the Elf Arondir who is grieving the loss of Bronwyn, the woman he loved. Bronwyn's son, Theo, dismisses Arondir's attempts to comfort him and offers to help Isildur steal Berek back.

She earns back Isildur's trust when he and Arondir are sucked into a mud pit inhabited by a nameless creature and she helps free them. They are confronted by two Ents who captured Theo and the Wild Men in retribution for the felling of trees by Adar's army of Orcs.

Galadriel gives her ring to Elrond and tells him to return to Lindon to warn High King Gil-galad.
