Elendil is so good in this episode! Also, thoughts on the "secret fire," the Stranger's delimma, the nature of pride and power, Sauron's manipulations, and Galadriel's realization.

0:00.0 | Welcome to the Lord of the Rings lore cast, |
0:09.0 | the show that explores the background of the Rings lore cast. |
0:28.4 | This is your host, Tom, or Robots. |
0:30.3 | I rarely start the show like this, but if you're new, you might want to know who I am. |
0:34.7 | And we are talking this week about episode six of season two of the |
0:39.6 | Rings of Power. And all of the things that stood out to me, this is my reaction and predictions |
0:46.3 | for what's going to come. Now, before I get into it, I just want to address something. You'll |
0:50.5 | probably have noticed that this episode is coming out early. Normally, I drop it on Mondays for everybody and Sundays for patrons. |

1:02.5 | So be aware, you're getting an early episode this week, but the bonus episode will still go up for patrons on Sunday. |
1:09.4 | So you're just kind of moving it ahead a little bit in order to be part of the conversation a little bit sooner. |

1:57.4 | This is one of the most Legolas scenes in this entire show. |
2:03.0 | And we know that they're pulling a lot in this show from the Peter Jackson films. |
2:08.7 | And specifically, they have certain character archetypes that seem to be reoccurring. |
2:14.5 | And that happens a little bit in Tolkien, but there's very much more of it happening |
