It almost seems like yesterday when amazon<\/strong> premiered ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ in style on Prime video and today it’s time to say goodbye to the first season with the premiere of ‘allies’<\/strong>, the eighth episode of the series. As expected, it has been an episode with great revelations and that has finished planting the seeds for what is to come in Middle-earth.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beware of spoilers from here.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

‘Allies’ has focused almost solely on three open fronts, thus completely ignoring the overwhelming appearance of the balrolg at the end of ‘The Eye’. Well, the fairest thing would be to speak of two, since everything related to Numenor<\/strong> has been resolved rather quickly, first with Elendil’s promise to always stay by Miriel’s side only to come home with signs that the king was dead and then with E\u00e4rien’s discovery of the palantir, it remains to be seen what he will do with that information.<\/p>\n

That part of the episode has been purely dedicated to paving the way for the second season, as the real big reveals have come in the other two. And it is that ‘Allies’ has definitively welcomed two key characters from Middle-earth. In the case of Sauron they have not beat around the bush, but with Gandalf they have been a little more subtle<\/strong> when it comes to making it clear that it is him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let’s start with Sauron, since ‘The Rings of Power’ has not gone crazy and one of the great favorites of the public to be it has ended up being The Dark Lord: Halbrand.<\/strong> The self-confidence he suddenly showed in everything related to mithril was already surprising and Galadriel confirmed it soon after.<\/p>\n

Not that there’s anything revolutionary about the trope that he supposedly wants to heal what he corrupted at the time, since the idea of \u200b\u200ba villain wanting to fix the world has been used so many times that no one can really believe that’s his intentions anymore. Of course, his talk with Galadriel to try to convince her to work together has been among the best of the episode, both for the detail of the shadow of Sauron apparently characterized by his legendary armor and for the fact that it is the final event that was missing for that the character played by Morfydd Clark<\/strong> evolve. Of course, it will be necessary to see how his allies react when they discover that information that he keeps secret. Elrond has already done it.<\/p>\n
