Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to The Rings of Power, episode 2.07 – Doomed To Die.

In this episode, we praise the episode’s cinematic battle sequences and the compelling character arcs, particularly the tragic downfall of Celebrimbor. We analyze Sauron’s manipulative tactics and the implications of Adar obtaining one of the Nine Rings and the emotional reunion between Elrond and Durin, as well as Galadriel’s poignant moment with Elrond. The discussion touches on the episode’s strong ties to the Lord of the Rings lore and the high stakes leading into the season finale.
