I love that there’s a Stephen King character in this movie.
Ugh the restaurant scene always makes me hungry.
Daphne smelled a rat first.
I’M A HEX GIRL AND I’M GONNA PUT A SPELL ON YOU
Ben is a quality twist villain.
Scooby and Shaggy are clutch sometimes.
Sarah and Ben’s fate is pretty terrible.
EARTH! WIND! FIRE AND AIR! WE MAY LOOK BAD BUT WE DON’T CARE!

Unfortunately the Halbrand twist was too reliant on characters making wildly convenient assumptions about him, never asking him a real question, and ignoring very obvious red flags.
No one in the Southlands has sword or horse training, but no one questions him as a master swordsman and horseman. Galadriel briefly did when he did the sword trick but then it never comes up again.
The fact that he couldn't be asked a real question is likely why for the first seven episodes, he never has a conversation with any main character other than Galadriel.

It would have odd if yet another character never asked him a question.

Sauron's manipulation and Galadriel's temptation

Breaking down Sauron's proposal to Galadriel 🧵 Image
Quick warning that I will be addressing abusive language in this thread. There is an abundance of it in this scene.
Galadriel begins this scene in a rage. Her first instinct upon finding out that Halbrand was Sauron was to try to kill him.

Sauron, being who he is, would know that he has to do something to placate her if she's ever going to listen. That is when the vision begins. Image

"Sauron lives because of YOU."
"And you will DIE because of ME."

Let's talk Galadriel, Sauron, and divine intervention. 🧵
Galadriel and Sauron's meeting in TROP has been described as a "chance meeting" by the writers. In Tolkien, that usually implies that it was the work of Eru, Middle Earth's God.

A meeting between these two in particular would not be an accident. It was pre-ordained.
Galadriel invokes Eru in episode 3 when she talks to Halbrand about their meeting, and Halbrand reminds her of their supposed greater purpose in being brought together in episode 8.

We are given good reason to believe Eru brought them together.

Sauron's proposition to Galadriel in #TheRingsOfPower was an excellent scene. But here's a thread on how I think it could have been pulled off even better. 🧵
Sauron and Galadriel are alike. Tolkien deliberately parallels their characters. They're both immensely proud and have a desire to rule.

Galadriel left Valinor in part because she wanted to rule a piece of Middle Earth. Not so different from Sauron's motives.
The show took pains to parallel Galadriel and Halbrand. Both castaways with short fuses.

In episode 6 this is most clear when both of them stop each other from killing Adar. The bloodlust in both is apparent.
