I wish the Eagle just bit off this dude's head.

Yeah, or at least shit on him on the way out.

Yeah, do you imagine how big a great eagle can shit?

It's like a five gallon bucket of paint hitting you.

Yeah.

Oh well, maybe next time.

Welcome to Doug Too Deep, the officially unofficial podcast for the Lord of the Rings, the Rings of Power on Amazon Prime. I'm Jim.

I'm Aron. And today we're back for season 2 episode 3 titled The Eagle and the Scepter.

The Scepter? I guess that's the passing of the crown here. The Eagle is easy to spot. spot pretty easy that's a big eagle

Aaron we're now through the first three episodes we're all dropped on the same night

with this third episode which deals with let's say some of our least favorite parts of season one what how are you feeling we

were both pretty positive on the first two is the third well make or break here

I find the elves are still elving the dwarves are still dwarfing

Unfortunately the harfoots and the strangers aren't Harfoot and

Strangering in this episode.

They're still high in a mesosphere above Middle Earth.

But the fucking Numenorians, still a problem. I am glad to get a few scenes with

Esseldork where it's not like nails on chalkboard but okay I don't know the the

numinorian politics I don't like Ellen Deal seems like a dork and Queen Muriel seems like she's completely lost and probably

corrupted by the Palantier. Farazone seems like he's shady I don't understand

why Ellen Deal's daughter is completely against the cool I guess she does she she saw the palan tier too

I don't know there's something it's just it just feels noticeably worse than everything else that's happening
