AFTERMATH
1. Four LED lighting tubes were strapped to a horse running at Galadriel. Flames were added in post-VFX.
Flames on structures, floating cinders, and swirling ash were also added in post. Wet paper was used for ash on set. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

S1.E6 Breakdown of #TheRingsOfPower 🧵
This episode was very explosive. Not much #Tolkien to breakdown but very fun all the same.
Theory: This is Sauron's gauntlet. Adar claimed it as a trophy.

NEW LIFE
Adar plants some alfirin seeds and says a prayer before battle.
Quenya: `Vinya coivië... na vírië...`
English: "New awakening... To life..."

1. `My children, we have endured much...`
Adar's plans laid bare:
S1.E4— `That [the Southlanders] may live if [they] forsake all claim to these lands and swear fealty to him.`
S1.E5— `And soon [the sun] will be gone. And with it, the part of me that knew its warmth as well.`

LOST
1. `Perils`
Nori first taught the Stranger to speak using sign language (E2).
Weeks later he speaks in the same dialect as Nori. Not surprising as he patterns his speech after her. He's also learning new words & with that a sense of right vs wrong as Nori sees it.

Nori's explanation of perils and death pushes the Stranger to consider that he has the capacity to cause death (`fireflies` in S1.E2).
He recognizes that death (or destruction) is not a desirable outcome.

S1.E4 Breakdown of #TheRingsOfPower 🧵
I’ve watched E4 5x now. Still like it but can’t shake the feeling that it could've been better. Feeling a bit nervous about the Númenor storyline now that S1 is finally taking off.
The gorgeous sail-master tho 😍

NIGHTMARE
`We gather daily to hammer out our island's future...at the Blessing of the Children, we gather to welcome those who will live that future. One as boundless as a sunrise over the rolling sea.`
1. Is Númenor's future as 'boundless' as Míriel dreams it might be?

ORCS
1. Orcs
In the time of the coming of Elves, Morgoth ensnared many. By slow arts of cruelty, he corrupted & ensalved them. Thus, Morgoth 'breed the race of Orcs in envy and mockery of Elves'.
The Orcs multiplied; they became the bitterest foes of Elves. #TheSilmarillion

2. `Anchor him.`
As the Orcs multiplied, they grew strong and fell where 'their dark lord filled them with a lust of ruin and death.' (chp 3, Sil)
Of all races, they know enslavement. Yet they are so corrupted, they exact the same cruelty on the other races.

STARS AT SEA
1. VALACIRCA (Quen. ‘Valar sickle’) ("Ursa minor")
Set in the North sky by Elbereth (Star-kindler) as a guide to Elves when they came into the workd.
NORTH STAR— part of the Ursa/Valacirca constellation. Seeing Valacirca, Galadriel would've known where NORTH is.

I will inaugurate my analysis of #TheRingsOfPower with some special info. This is not a spoiler. It's more of a leak.
Sauron's stronghold seen in Ep. 1 was invented for the show. Far north of the Forodwaith. Named 'Dûrnost' (Sindarin. ‘hellish-city’).

PROLOGUE
1. `Nothing is evil in the beginning`
The fighting children is a reminder that 'evil' is an inherent aspect of Eru's Children. The fate of Men and Elves (the acceptance of death and facing the judgment of Mandos) is a key spiritual decision to the central characters.

2. `Fixed upon a light that guides her...`
The reference to the 'light' is a reference to Elbereth ('Queen of Stars') and spouse of Manwë.
