Here we go! Here there be Barrow Wights!


Of a sort. They're not even from Cardolan.


This episode is a bunch of callbacks and references and dialogue lifted directly from different circumstances. More than usual. Tom Bombadil gaslighting the Stranger when he hears a woman's voice is unintentionally hilarious though?


I have to admit I cried a little hearing Bombadil's words from FotR. I haven't read the books in a long time and I might have to soon.





I can't figure out if Arondir & party meet the ents while still in Pelargir or if it's supposed to be Ithilien?




And I can't even remember if it was this episode or the last, I appreciate hearing an elf lord sing. We've had tavern songs and walking songs and leaving-these-shores songs and songs about lilies and mountains but this is an...administrative song? Gil-Galad got to take notes for the meeting this time and he knocked it out of the park!
