The Rings of Power, Season 2: What did you think? ═══ ⋆ ☆⋅★⋅☆ ⋆ ═══ https://papatoshi.com/24rings4 I will watch all five seasons of Amazon Prime's 'The Rings of Power' no matter what. And I will say that I felt Season 2, especially the latter half of Season 2, was a great improvement over Season 1. I found the final episodes of Season 1 eye-rollingly bad. I believe my biggest problem with the show so far is that I don't care about most of the characters. The storyline of the Dwarves is the most interesting to me and I think the character with the most depth is actually Sauron. Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.

Agreed on the Sauron character, but let's be honest it's been really weak. I'd like to know what are the specific improvements over S1 that you see? It followed the same path in direction with bunch of super weak plot, trash approach on expanding the charachters and poor screenplay :)

I'm not arguing by any measure that Season 2 is good television, but it had more relational dynamics I was interested in: Annatar & Celebrimbor; Adar and his orcs; and the soap opera of the dwarfs. The two best episodes of the series, in my opinion, are episodes 6 and 7 of this season. If I recall correctly, they had no halfling / Stranger and Arondir / Isildur storylines. I thought Númenor was a bit more interesting than last season. I also found the battle of Eregion better than pyroclastic flow.

Agreed again on Annatar and dwarfs. Dwarfs scenes were the only thing that i could relate. But man, Celebrimbor looked like a puppet. The way they pictured him wad just absurd, totally unbelievale that he could not suspect annatar for once. When Durin told him about first on the way they created the ring, he went and asked Annatar if he knew sth, WTF :) Moreover, Eregion battle is simply the worst battle scene i've ever seen in world of Tolkien's novel. The logic and dynamics were just poorly directed in the most simplest way. I do get what you're saying on last 2 episodes, it had a better rhythm at least. But as im saying just kina like playing whole stuff with 2x speed. I'll also keep watching further seasons as the only reason is it remindd me of that beautiful world depicted by Tulkien. Although, surely will regret most part if they keep doing this weak directiin and poor plots.
