This episode of Reheated: The Leftovers podcast covers Season 1 episode 5 of “The Leftovers” entitled “Gladys”. If there’s something that can be said about the show at this point is that it is keeping us interested. It fits the Lost mold. Big moments that lead to bigger questions with few answers. In any case… I like it overall, but have moments I hate it.

Khazad-damn!: ROP S02E08

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.

User Illusion 3: ROP S02E07

In this episode of the Beacons are Lit we’re talking about The Rings of Power Season 2 episode 7. We’re deep into the siege of Eregion now. Celebrimbor is living his best imaginary life, Sauron is blaming everything on Celebrimbor, Elrond putting the moves on Galadriel, Gil Galad puts on his Sunday best for battle, Adar’s kids are starting to turn on him, the Dwarves got their own problems going on, and Harfoots & the Stranger are nowhere to be seen.
