best episode so far, give them all the awards please

great stuff

not as good as the previous episode but overall, the second season was an improvement compared to the first

Bear McCreary is the MVP

Will watch a 3rd season bur I sincerely hope the creators continue making the show better, the bar is a lot higher than this

Sauron and the Elves carried this season, Dwarves were ok but Gandalf/Hobbits and especially the Numenoreans were kinda boring. The latter need a lot of fixing since they're probably going to be the focus next season as it seems.

almost the whole budget went into that episode so it makes me wonder what is left for the last episode..

"You fear to go into those mines. The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame."

there will be a sizeable chunk of the budget devoted to that I would guess  :)
