Seemed (while not particularly likely) not particularly far-fetched as these things go - I've certainly seen things in my fantasy TV that grossly outmatch that for implausibility. Meh. That world has some weird physics. It's not the first time we've seen it in LotR-type things. Gondor took an unnatural beating in RotK, for example. It tends to have to do with "Hope being lost". I'm pretty sure that it's established that despair can cause that sort of thing to happen in that setting.I'm not sure I agree. I mean, if I were Elrond, I'd probably keep the charge going and hope that Galadriel survived because one elf is not worth the entire battle, but elves are weird about things like Death. They try too hard to avoid it, unless it's about their enemies. Then they're okay with it.I loved that bit. It's the only time we got to glimpse what the troll was thinking, and the answer is: He's a maniac. Opposite to the Elves, he loves Death so much that he's like, "Haw! Ye got me!"Sorry, what? We know that he'll have to get them back. We don't know the day-to-day. We're talking about things that happened over many many years, that have gaps in the story - gaps that are there on purpose. I find it stranger that Elrond is so adamantly against the Elf Rings. Doesn't he wear one by the time of tLotR?Yeah, that happens in retconning stuff. I don't like it much either, but I don't really see what you're seeing here. I guess where we differ, because I agree with you on all that, is that the situation is happening HERE. Because, I think it happened all over the place in THIS VERY SAME SHOW last season, but I feel like they are starting to actually get good now. The same episode you hated (the latest one) I thought was the best one yet. They finally started to get somewhere, and did it well. IMO - I am fine if you don't agree.I have no idea. I doubt that, but I suppose that it's possible that they added a wall when they decided how they wanted to film the battle. In this case I'd rather assume that I don't remember the wall, or that we just didn't see it.</blockquote>
