Well, they didn't want to make 2 series, and a whole series where there is some suspicion aimed at Sauron, but nothing proven, during a 400 year period of peace and craftsmanship seems awfully slow.
That's still about 500 years of history, so guess there isn't much point in having anyone but elves and Sauron in the show, and it would feel very limited to one city.
For a show I was not looking forward to, the past 2 episodes were tense and exciting. I'm sad to see this part end, as I didn't find the story from the first episodes very captivating.

Unless there is a planned, but unannounced, time shift this Durin's Bane will refer to this Durin. There isn't going to be a millennia wait. But I do hope it doesn't happen next episode. But why show the balrog if you aren't going to use it.
Sure. But he wouldn't be riding a horse there. Even if he could physically do it without ripping open whatever stitches he has, the delirium and hallucinations from the high fever would make staying mounted nearly impossible.
But, it's a show, and these failings are hardly unique to it.
If you have an infected gut injury that "only the elves can heal", then you wouldn't be riding a horse anywhere. Even transporting you in a cart wouldn't be a good idea. But Hollywood treats wounds as either instantly fatal, or just a red stain on a shirt. A lot like D&D.
