The answer to the show’s central mystery wasn’t necessarily the most surprising, but it was the most dramatically satisfying.
good news! The eighth and final episode of its first season, “Alloyed,” gives us an answer—twice.
To be precise, only one of them is the right answer. The evil-looking ladies who have been lurking around the edges of the show for half a season turn up in front of the Stranger and immediately swear fealty to their dark lord, who seems kind of puzzled by the whole thing.
, so who knows? Maybe they’re just destroying traditional dramatic structure before they get around to laying waste to Middle-earth.It becomes pretty clear pretty fast, though, that the episode is wrong-footing us, mostly in the way the scenes involving Halbrand, who pulled Galadriel out of the ocean in the first episode and claims to be the wayward king of the Southlands, seem to keep going on a little bit too long, with just a hint of … something creeping in around his words.
