I'm only on episode 4 but when Isildur and Aromir(?) go looking in the woods for Theo and disappear in thr mid I REALLY wanted a R.O.U.S. to come sniffing around the mud.

Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist.

He acts like he already had one on.

I feel like I should be getting the stars and credit for this one...

So everyone caught up?

So young Isildor is the same Isildor from the that didn't cast the ring into Mount Doom after the defeat of Sauron… right?

I really meant this is, I knew that Numenorans had long life, but thousands of years?

Don't pay attention to the timeline for this show.

I think Elendil lived over 300 years, but we probably went from end of first age to forging the 3 elven rings in a couple hundred years in the show

That kinda time jump is just hard for me to swallow.

Some of the passage of time things I can take, because you don't know if things are progressing along the same timeline in different places. But we know that at least in the show, the elven timeline and dwarf timeline are synced up, due to Durin's death via Balrog, Durin's mourning and missing battle of Eregion. But truly don't really know if Gandalf's story line is set the same as those two or if it's in line/not in line with Numenors


So is Isildor's age ever hinted at or discussed regarding when the war started/ended, when Aregon was born, when he was killed? And knowing everything we know now, he got taken out like a chump.

In reality there is about another 1.5-2k years between the events of this season and Isildur cutting off the ring.

In the show...well, just don't pay attention to the canon behind the curtain

Ya that's what I figured on the time line.

I mean the cutting off of the ring in the beginning of Fellowship was basically an accident. Isildur was about to get killed by Sauron and got a lucky chop in.

You'd think Sauron would have designed the one to rule them all to be a cock ring hidden behind a mithril codpiece, not just perched on an unprotected finger he waved towards recalcitrant churls while beating them into submission.

What's the point in having that bling if you can't flaunt it?

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical ring ceremony.

What worth flaunting if all the halflings it brought to your yard would prove your undoing? While clueless in Rings of Power cynical Gandalf understands. Not even Balrogs get a pass.

I was hoping the stranger was going to be Saruman, not Gandalf. I felt like that would have been a twist that most wouldn't have seen coming. I mean, Saruman was good at one point so I feel like it could have made sense.

He was once good, but I'm pretty sure he never cared about Hobbits.

he was vain and jealous pretty much from their arrival to Middle-Earth (both seen as sins from the Christian POV that Tolkien leaned on in some of his characterizations). So I would say "good" at best.
