The Rings of Power finally moves the plot forward a little bit in episode 5.
But is it really enough at this point?
ThisLord of the Ringsreview contains spoilers forThe Rings of Power.
We finally get a tiny bit more insight into Chancellor Pharazon in this episode, but not much.
The Southlandsare even more desperately in need of some attention to their leadership issues and human relationships.
Questions likeWho is the Stranger?or Is Halbrand a future Ringwraith, or even Sauron himself?
Rather than is he Gandalf, or Sauron, or one of the Istari, or Saruman?
And Sarumanwasone of the good guys before he became corrupted.
They also apparently have a better idea of what might be under there to wake up…
Although in this episode, it is the change to Elronds mothers backstory that is the most annoying.
Nori could be in real trouble here.
The breakaway group of Southlanders have turned to human sacrifice, which cant be good.
To quote Durin in this episode, Enough with the quail sauce!
Give me the meat [of the story] and give it to me raw!
