Where the Shadows Lie: A Rings of Power Podcast  

Where the Shadows Lie: A Rings of Power Podcast

Author: Kat and Wren

An analytical, fannish space for all things Rings of Power, with Kat and Wren. Join us as we delve into the world-building, art and design, and character development of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. On this podcast, you'll find in-depth discussions of both canon and original characters, meta analyses of the show's thematic choices, and thoughtful engagement with the series' transformational choices, which often build on and interrogate the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Most of all, we hope our discussions inspire your own interpretations of the show and deepen your experience of the series content and themes, all while appreciating the artisans, performers, and crew whose labor has made this return to Middle-earth possible. Subscribe for notifications about our hiatus episodes, where we'll be taking deep dives into specific characters, themes, and aspects of the lore.

Ep. 17: Discussing The Rings of Power, "Shadow and Flame"
Episode 10
Thursday, 10 October, 2024

Send us a textAfter a spectacular penultimate episode, our expectations for the Season 2 finale were pretty high. And in our opinion—from the opening Balrog showdown, to Celebrimbor’s chilling final words, to the much anticipated Saurondriel confrontation—“Shadow and Flame” really delivered. We get into all of it, dissecting how the Pelargir plot has been punching above its weight all season (and why we’re a fan of Estrid remaining behind in Middle-earth), how our favorite Númenóreans are likely to weather the coming storm, the importance of names (Gandalf is a Stranger no more!), our issues with the Rhûn storyline, the tragedy of Sauron (“some things can’t be fixed”), and what we expect from Galadriel’s journey next season.  We have some special episodes coming over the hiatus, but for now, we hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening—Namárië.Time Stamps 00:00 - Intro, Summary, and First Takes 10:13 - Visual Feasts, Musical Moments, and Wonders of the World 25:50 - Pelargir Plotline Lovers Stay Winning 37:52 - Númenórean Endings and Eärien Defense Squad 43:56 - Arondir's Unnecessary Deathbait 47:24 - Elrond's Change of Heart 49:07 - The Horror of Celebrimbor and Sauron 57:02 - Adar and Glûg's Tragic End 1:09:09 - Never Getting Back Together aka The Saurondriel Showdown 1:26:49 - Performance Awards 1:32:14 - Dialogue Dialogue 1:39:44 - Critiques 1:47:31 - Themes 1:52:23 - Namárië
