What a powerhouse episode of The Rings of Power! Season 2, Episode 5, "Halls of Stone," is definitely ramping up this season's plot, and in our podcast conversation, we dive into all of it, from the escalation of the Dwarven plotline by means of Sauron's ring, to the nitty-gritty political drama of the Númenóreans. Of course, we must use part of this episode to give a loving tribute to one of our favorite original characters, Valandil -- exploring the scope of his role on the show and celebrating Alex Tarrant's fan-favorite performance. We hope you'll jump in! Listen all the way through to catch some fun, lofi beats-style renditions of beloved tracks from the Rings of Power score.
