The Rings of Power Wrap-up

Join Sara, Don, and Alan as they talk through the first two episodes of Season 3 of The Rings of Power! From awkward first dates to how far we can trust (or throw) an orc, we dissect the storylines of the show and talk through the lore that was used (or ignored) in key moments of the episodes. We admire a few moments, criticize a few others, and talk about what we might expect from the rest of this season. Thanks for listening, and we hope that it is but a trifle we ask for.

Join Alan and Sara in welcoming Don Marshall, The Obscure Lord of the Rings Facts Guy, as our co-host for this season of The Rings of Power Wrap-up! Alan, Sara, and Don recap the good, less-than-good, and the... less than that of Season 2, discuss the teaser and trailer for Season 3, and make official predictions for this year's cliffhanger. We lay out our plans for dealing with the chaos of this year's release schedule, and invite you to be as hopeful or skeptical as we are!

Join Alan, James, and Sara as they ponder Pelargir, ruminate about Rhûn, admire Adar, and linger on Lindon in the second half of our post-season review of Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!
We talk through the remaining storylines in the show, including high praise for some, and... less than that for others. Spoilers: all three of us gave S2 a better grade than S1, but the show's not on the Honor Roll quite yet.

The envelope, please... Join Alan, Sara, and James as they talk about costumes, casting, and Khazad-dûm (it’s alliteration, folks) in what is only the first half of our post-season review of Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!
We give well-deserved praise to Bear McCreary, wonder where Círdan disappeared to, and chat about fan reception of the (in our opinion) improved second season of the show. Also, we talk about three of the show’s story lines, saving the rest for next week!

Join Alan, James, and Sara as they avoid spoilers in this episode blurb, discuss the revelation of the Stranger's name, weep over a powerful father-son moment, and agree that the show has gotten better - all in their discussion of the Season 2 finale of Amazon Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - 'Shadow and Flame'.
Annatar makes sure Celebrimbor gets his point, Glüg makes a questionable career move, and Kemen still has Middle-earth's most punchable face. From shadowy Balrog wings to a surprise appearance of a sword; from Yoda moments to another Princess Bride callback, the RoPWU team have more things. to. say.
