Bro that last episode was so good! I loved all the action, and the long cuts, and the practical orcs! It was great! I personally didn’t mind the gore, but my wife did. She had to look away a few times.

At this point, I don’t at all think Halbrand is Sauron. He has grown too much into his own sympathetic character. It would be really strange from a Tolkien perspective to have Sauron almost rehabilitated… and then turn back to the dark.

Adar being a Gen 1 Orc was interesting, it explains his whole deal, though I feel like he should look more deformed for it to really land.
