[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 8817364, member: 6787503"] Well no, craters that look pretty much exactly like the Eye of Sauron don't just happen by accident. The show presented an image that was deliberately crafted to strongly resemble the Eye and emphasized that image repeatedly. What meaning the show was trying to convey with that image is hard to say because it ended up being meaningless nonsense when the Stranger was revealed to be Gandalf. There's absolutely no reason for it to have happened. The only possible interpretation is when Gandalf falls from the sky in meteorites, it makes craters that look like the Eye of Sauron. Editing is a form of communication. The show points to the correlation, connecting the breaking of the stick with the breaking of Largo's foot. What's the point of communicating that connection to the audience if it's not meant to be received and accepted as true in the story. Gandalf also broke a tree limb, almost killing a child. The interpretation of these events is that in this version of Gandalf, he's a bungler. I don't understand. Halbrand had only one eye? Did he grow his other eye before his next close up? One episode, I think it was 8, opened with a close up of Galadriel's eye blinking open. Did that mean she might be Sauron too? No, it just means she regained consciousness. I didn't pick up on the theme. I'll have to pay more attention to the music if I watch it again. I've already watched most of the episodes more than once. He didn't seem toxic to me. He heroically risked his life to save her from drowning, and who would want to be eaten by a sea serpent? [/QUOTE]
