THE AFTERMATH! RINGS OF POWER episode 7 REVIEW

3 episodes for Galadriel to convince Miriel to sail to Middle Earth for them to save 15 villagers then turn around and go back home after a day and a half.

Galadriel: (survived pyroclastic density flow) People of 79 AD Pompeii: am I a joke to you

Halbrand: Discount!Legolas: we can't heal him here, he needs elvish medi- i mean, elvish healing powers or whatnot Hal&Gal: Elves: we don't have healers here, but we heard there is a healer in the Southlands Hal&Gal: Some dirty dude there: there are no Southlands here, there is Mordor Halbrand: ... Halbrand: ok enough of this bullcrap, I'm Sauron

I literally laughed out loud when Nori's dad says in his speech "there's one thing we do better than any creature in middle earth... stay true to each other" the nobbits were going to leave them behind just a few episodes earlier and have abandoned countless others in the past... these writers aren't even paying attention so why the hel would anyone else?

I'll miss nathan, can't believe rings of power took him from us so young :(

The idea that the elves can lose their immortality proves the show runners don’t know anything about Tolkien. Immortality is a gift given to them by illuvatar and cannot be taken away by any darkness. Tolkien makes very clear that the fates of men and elves is something that only illuvatar has authority over

Nathan apparently could not endure another episode, poor guy

NotGaladriel is peak "do as I say, not as I do" and "it's okay when I do it, but not when anyone else does it."

Apparently Gandalf (book) and Saruman (movie) are wrong and the Dwarves didn't actually delve too greedily or too deep. The Balrog was awoken by a leaf.

Celeborn faked his own death to get away from Guyladriel. Smart! I mean, can you imagine the horror of living with her for an eternity? But you just know that the showrunners already have it written in their notes that Celeborn has been imprisoned by Sauron and Guyladriel will have to do some girlbossing to save him in season 4 (much to the dismay of Celeborn).

Congrats RoP and Amazon. You've inspired thousands of people to study geology and volcanology to prove your show is completely stupid.

That bit about the flying gigantic volcanic rock, travelling 100s of miles from Mordor over mountains to where the Harfoots are 😄🤣😂

If that little piece of Mithril can heal the leaf in a few seconds, how about just sticking that bit to the tree and see what happens?

So at the end of episode 6 every main character is at the village. The last time we see them, Elendil is trying to reach the queen, Miriel and Halbrand are trying to put the villagers to safety, Isildur is looking for his horse, Arondir and Bronwyn are looking for Theo and Galadriel is standing around like an idiot. At the beginning of episode 7 Galadriel wakes up, sees a dead body, hear people call for help, ignores them, calls for Halbrand once and stumbles upon Theo, who is looking for his mother. And then they both leave without having found anyone they're supposed to be looking for. Isildur tries to help Valandil and then Miriel appears with a few villagers, she helps Isildur to save Valandil, they save a few other villagers from a burning house, Isildur gets crushed by debris (no he doesn't, we know that) and then Miriel and Valandil leave without verifying if Isildur is dead. Next time we see the Southlands Elendil is leading a band of soldiers and villagers towards the numenorean camp (they had one? Anyway...). When did he leave the village, and why did he without the queen? When did he organize this group of survivors? Then Valandil and Miriel join him, but the villagers they saved aren't there, I guess they gave them the Harfoot treatment. Meanwhile Theo and Galadriel are walking through the ash and despite going to and coming from the very same places than the other characters they don't meet any of them... And Arondir and Bronwyn are already at the camp when the others arrive, which means they just left the village without looking for Theo... I also love of those numbskulls try to have some tension over Bronwyn possibly being dead but the marketing team decided to promote the episode before its release by showing some stills, one of which clearly shows Bronwyn in perfect health. Bunch of clowns, all of them.

"It wasn't as absurd as last episode" immediately opens with people who tanked a volcano to the face.

Imortality: the fate of elves. Mortality: the GIFT of men. These are from Iluvatar and even Morgoth does not have the power to alter that.

One episode left, and I can start growing brain cells again.

Nori's dad: we harfoots stay true to each other! ... THEY LITERALLY LEFT YOU TO DIE AND LATER ON THOUGHT ABOUT STEALING YOUR WHEELS TO LEAVE YOU TO DIE AGAIN. Galadriel: Do not call killing orcs "good" for it darkens the soul. YOU LITERALLY VOWED TO COMMIT ORC GENOCIDE AND MAKE ADAR WATCH AND KNOW THAT HE IS THE LAST WHO YOU KILL IN YOUR BLOODLUST.

It's obvious Galadriel was wearing best Armour there is...Plot armour

Galadriel: - Med Pack +120% health - Fire Potion +50% fire resistance - fire god armour: +50% fire resistance - hair: +5% fire resistance = fire actually heals now
