[+] The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - SPOILERS ALLOWED

Other than the kids in the helmets, I didn't see the dwarves as comic relief.

It's the fake Scottish accent, probably. Tolkien's dwarves are inspired by the Jews, not the Scots. But ever since PJ's movies (or possibly since the Warcraft games) it's too late to portray them correctly.

Aren’t the dwarves more Slavic in accent in the Warcraft games? Or am I confused because their dance is Slavic in WoW?

I really liked Numenor.
Convinced myself Halbrand is Sauron as well ( despite the end of the episode)

There's always somebody. This time it's you. OK, so this thread is basically the Maxperson hatewatch thread with people replying to you. As you're dominating the thread, please start a new thread about why you hate the show, so those of us who like it can talk about it. Thanks!

In the meantime, I'm turning this into a + thread for fan of the show to discuss the plot and stuff.

Watching Episode 3:

Galadriel: "Did you say ride?"
Narrator: "She was almost as tired of walking everywhere as everyone who read about her walking everywhere was."

And the pure joy on her face...

"My people have no king," from episode two, certainly sounds like he's talking about the people of Mordor we see being menaced by orcs elsewhere in the series.

Finally watched the episode. They're almost trying too hard to make us think Halbrand is Sauron. (His one skill, other than brooding: metal work.)

This feels like a red herring, but I'm enjoying the parallels to Aragorn, but with him being a king of a land that served Morgoth.

The Arondir story is currently the best one in the series, based on Episode 3.

I loved the Chihuahua-worg. They've used wolves and pit-bulls before. It's about time someone used a really NASTY dog as their model for a worg!
