\"Galadriel,
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, here we are at last: the eighth and final episode of The Rings of Power<\/em><\/a> <\/em>season 2. As you\u2019d expect from a season finale, a lot goes down in episode 8. The Sauron\/Celebrimbor partnership reaches its inevitably tragic conclusion. The extended dust-up between Elrond, Galadriel, and the elves and Adar\u2019s forces reaches its endgame. And the Stranger finally gets a name. <\/p>\n

With all this payoff, episode 8 should feel like a triumph; the thrilling capstone to a generally better-executed sophomore batch of installments. Yet it\u2019s ultimately an underwhelming affair, its every high point undercut by at least as many lows. In that sense, the finale is emblematic of season 2 overall, where the real battle isn\u2019t between the elves and the orcs, or even Sauron and those out to bring him down \u2014 it\u2019s between the good and not-so-good halves of the show itself.<\/p>\n

[Ed note:<\/strong> This article contains spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em> season 2, episode 8.]<\/p>\n

In fairness, the Lord of the Rings series\u2019 \u201cgood half\u201d is well represented throughout episode 8. The production values have never been better, particularly where the battle scenes are concerned. Director Charlotte Br\u00e4ndstr\u00f6m, cinematographer Alex Disenhof, and the wider crew deliver big-screen-level action aplenty, from Durin III\u2019s heroic last stand against the balrog to that<\/em> one-take shot of an elven archer cutting loose<\/a> in Eregion. The cast continues to give it their all as well. Sure, some actors rise above the rest \u2014 Charlie Vickers and Charles Edwards are especially strong during Celebrimbor\u2019s impressively gnarly, book-inspired death scene \u2014 but, the occasional creaky accent aside, everyone acquits themselves well.<\/p>\n

\"Sauron<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s a real shame that season 2\u2019s finale feels so emotionally empty, even if this is far from unexpected. As I predicted last week<\/a>, episode 8 drops its direct predecessor\u2019s hyper-focused approach to The Rings of Power<\/em>\u2019s sprawling (read: overstuffed) narrative. Instead, we touch base with every plot thread scattered across Middle-earth and beyond. There\u2019s a logic to this; it wouldn\u2019t make sense not<\/em> to check in with all our heroes and villains before season 2 wraps. Yet it also forces showrunners (and episode 8 scribes) J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay to prioritize less engaging subplots \u2014 did anyone else completely forget about Isildur, Estrid, and the rest of the gang over in Pelargir? \u2014 at the expense of giving the finale\u2019s big moments room to breathe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dwarves\u2019 much-hyped showdown with the balrog<\/a>? Over in the blink of an eye, apparently for the sole purpose of giving Durin III a heartfelt send-off, which \u2014 due to its briskness \u2014 doesn\u2019t even feel earned. Sauron winning back the orcs? Accomplished off screen and more or less \u201cbecause,\u201d just so that the Dark Lord can have an army again, and Adar can befall the same surprise pincushion treatment Sauron endured in episode 1\u2019s opening flashback. And the climactic one-on-one duel between Sauron and Galadriel? A hollow sword fight given Galadriel\u2019s drastically reduced (and almost entirely Sauron-free) screen time this season. It\u2019s clear we should<\/em> care, but there\u2019s simply not enough buildup to make it happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Episode 8\u2019s obligatory Lord of the Rings foreshadowing likewise suffers from playing out at breakneck speed<\/a> \u2014 another weakness it shares with the rest of season 2 (and The Rings of Power<\/em> overall). M\u00edriel sending Elendil on his way with a legally mandated off-model Narsil is a prime example of this. It should be a big deal \u2014 a symbol of Elendil taking a decisive step toward his destiny as the future King of Gondor \u2014 but it isn\u2019t, because it happens so damn fast with so little context. He\u2019s given the sword and shoved out the door to Middle-earth with only the vaguest sense of what he\u2019s supposed to achieve there and why. What little gravitas the scene musters is borrowed; Prime Video may not own the rights to Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings <\/em>trilogy, yet Br\u00e4ndstr\u00f6m and Disenhof nevertheless run back the staging of Aragorn receiving the reforged Narsil in Jackson\u2019s Return of the King<\/em>. But in a vacuum, it doesn\u2019t amount to much. Like Sauron\u2019s orc recruitment drive, it happens because it has<\/em> to \u2014 and if we care it\u2019s because we\u2019re supposed<\/em> to, not because of any groundwork laid in season 2.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/figure>\n

Ironically, the reverse is true of the goings-on in Rh\u00fbn. Here, the problem is not enough speed and too much setup. Episode 8 finally, finally<\/em> confirms the Stranger\u2019s identity<\/a> \u2014 and he\u2019s exactly who most of us pegged him as during season 1. Yet, despite this obvious outcome, it\u2019s taken us two whole seasons to hear the name \u201cGandalf\u201d (or a variation of it). It\u2019s a generous viewer who\u2019ll consider this time well spent. Yes, it\u2019s neat visiting a largely unexplored corner of Middle-earth, and yes, the wizards\u2019 origins are a fascinating bit of lore for those less familiar with J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s canon. But when all\u2019s said and done, scenes devoted to the non-mystery of the Stranger\u2019s backstory and purpose have chewed up minutes that could\u2019ve otherwise been used fleshing out The Rings of Power<\/em>\u2019s central (and far more compelling) Sauron-centric storylines.<\/p>\n

And the knock-on effect of things moving at the wrong pace? A disappointingly weak platform for future seasons to build on. On paper, episode 8 sets the stage for season 3 well enough. Every Ring of Power (with one notable exception) is now finished, and the outed Sauron, backed by the orcs, is ready to embark on his long-delayed Brat Summer. The elves have set up shop in Rivendell and are committed to fighting back. Durin IV has succession headaches to deal with. Gandalf\u2019s rivalry with the Dark Wizard is just warming up. Nori and the Stoors are off in search of the Shire<\/a> (or something). And Ar-Pharaz\u00f4n and his N\u00famen\u00f3rean cronies are making even bigger assholes of themselves at home and abroad. However, in practice none of this elicits the excitement that season 1\u2019s finale managed via a single shot.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s partly because a bunch of people cheering after a lot of half-baked palaver about darkness versus light lacks the visceral oomph of Sauron marching into Mordor<\/a>. But it\u2019s also a symptom of episode 8 \u2014 like a decent chunk of the episodes that preceded it \u2014 being so uneven in its execution. This makes it hard enough to invest in the adventure at hand, much less those further down the line. Why get pumped for the Second Age milestones slated for the show\u2019s remaining three seasons when the likes of Eregion\u2019s destruction, N\u00famenor\u2019s decline, and the Durin\u2019s Bane comeback tour weren\u2019t exactly home runs this go round? Indeed, once the credits roll, the prevailing feeling is that, despite another valiant effort by all involved, The Rings of Power<\/em>\u2019s shortcomings have again won out over its positive points in season 2. Maybe the tide of \u201cbattle\u201d will turn with season 3 \u2014 but not without some pretty major changes to the Prime Video series\u2019 plan of attack.<\/p>\n
