I’m completely rusty on my Tolkien but are they compressing timeline and events in this ? And bringing in characters from all over the place time wise?


Ps that halbard guy is 100% Sauron I reckon

I don't know Hobbit/LotR all that well, but believed this to be entirely pre-Hobbit story. Apparently taken from appendices of the LotR books... based on the comment in the credits.

Sorry for the confusion.

This is a thousand or two years before events in LOTR. That’s established.

Just caught up last night with eps 2 and 3. I’m onboard now. It helps that this very much feels of a piece with Jackson’s original trilogy in terms of tone, visuals, etc. There’s some baked-in goodwill because of it.

I had forgotten the Balrogs were all originally Maiar who were corrupted by Sauron

This changes things.

The stranger could be one.

Or Bombadil. But I don’t see how that works as he’s first before all.

Absolutely loved the third episode. So far each episode has better than the last.

Someone who knows says the stranger is
Spoiler: show
Bombadil


He first ever affect or interfere or is even interested in two politics. So it can’t be him.

I was close. “Weans/We’ens” was used in ep 4 by the dwarves.
