In a season with many epic adventures, incredible spectacle and huge story developments this episode seemed to pack in more of each than probably the entire series combined. It was one of the best episodes of the series if not the best episode. Though some of my Stone Cold Lock of The Century of The Weeks still need time to play out, we saw many parts get hit right on the head. Even somewhat down the dialogue at times. We also some some earlier predictions that, though they seemed far fetched at the time, come to pass. Still, bottom line is if you bet on this particular episode you lost a lot of money. Regardless- AMAZING episode, but now we have to wait a year to see the fall out of all of this. This also means a year of speculation on the part of the SRM crew. We’ll be doing lots of episodes in the off season including a recap episode soon (possibly live!), going back to do seasons 1 and 2 as well as doing themed episodes such as David’s “spin-off pitch”.

Khazad-damn!: ROP S02E08

Crossroads Philly October 17, 2024

In this episode of the Beacons are Lit we’re discussing The Rings of Power S02E08. This is the season finale, which means after this episode, much like the Balrog of the Misty Mountains, the Rings of Power disappears for a long period only to come back when Amazon digs too deep. The Dwarves show up to save whoever is left at Eregion, Celebrimbor tells Sauron he’s going to the bad place, King Durin goes toe to head to horn with the Balrog, Adar gets a glow up shortly before getting Jon Snowed, Elendil has r-u-n-n-o-f-t as Numenor turns on the faithful, Isildur leaves his babe behind to go back home, Kemmen continues to grow his hater base, Cirdan is nowhere to be seen, and lots more for better or worse. We’re on another break, but will return soon with our awards episodes for The Two Towers and Return of the King. Lots more planned… but not scheduled.

Then, we take a trip into the Before for more Chakotay character study, we journey to Star Trek: Voyager S4E4, “Nemesis,” where the commander is stranded and meets the Vori, an alien soldier race that harbors some secrets and enough slightly-off idiosycratic idioms that you can fathom!
