It is a great time to be a nerd! Although I’m having trouble keeping track of all these fantasy storylines, and also starting to think I’m seeing the same British actors in multiple shows. What is your Sauron theory?! Halbrand? Adar? Theo? (JK!)

OKAY OMG!!! Heidi! You are just the person to speak to about this. I think it's Halbrand. I haven't watched the most recent episode so don't tell me if they revealed it already, but who do you think? The other most "obvious" option is that beautiful blonde-haired mystery guy/girl/nonbinary person. But that seems too obvious. Like they've gotta build in some plot twists, right?

At first I thought Halbrand was going to be the first Nazgul king, but then I was like wait, Sauron spent time imprisoned on Numenor, AND Halbrand is a smith....

Ok finally watched the Rings of Power finale (was on vacation). You were right! I agree with your take in your latest post. Magical world but bland. I could not stand the Harfoot storyline.

Ugh the Harfoots. So tough! The way they had like five different "goodbyes" in the finale when she went off with supposed-Gandalf. It felt like at a rehearsal dinner when all the toasts are trying to one-up each other but everyone is tipsy so their speeches aren't half as good as they think?

Regardless, Amazon has their hooks in me because I will be watching the next season whenever we get it. 😂

I think we’re gonna jump on Andor! I’m can’t usually get into Star Wars spin-offs (never watched past episode 1 of Mandalorian 😬) but I’ve heard great things about this and your review cinches the deal!
