When Sauron comes to the elves as Annatar he is known as the Lord of Gifts, and tries to seduce them with his promises. That line is, to anyone who knows anything about the actual story of the Rings of Power, a dead giveaway. “Thanks for the intriguing suggestion,” Celebrimbor says, to which Halbrand replies “Call it a gift.” A master elven smith would never think of this, of course. He asks about the gems and the mithril and when Celebrimbor tells him they don’t have enough, he suggests using an alloy (hence the episode’s title, “Alloyed”). He heads directly to Celebrimbor’s workshop and sounds very excited when he discovers that the elf he’s talking to is none other than the great Celebrimbor himself. Halbrand has been taken to get some “Elvish healing” from the healers that Arondir claims the elves don’t actually have and is miraculously better a short while later. (It’s still hilarious to me that at the beginning of this season Gil-Galad sends Galadriel away and declares it a ‘time of peace’ and just a few episodes later they have only months before the entire elvish race is doomed). Elrond and Celebrimbor argue for more time and Gil-Galad hesitantly gives it to them. Everyone is to head to Lindon immediately so that they can all leave Middle-earth and head back to Valinor.
Gil-Galad tells them that they have run out of time and he’s ordering the abandoning of Eregion. Thankfully this show doesn’t rely on contrivances or crazy coincidences at all. Gil-Galad is expected in a day, so it’s awfully convenient timing for Galadriel and Halbrand to show up right at that exact moment also. They show up in Eregion where Elrond and Celebrimbor are hanging out discussing what they’ll do now that the dwarves have refused them mithril. People who are seriously wounded can usually ride at a gallop for days or even weeks with no complications, so nothing really crazy about this. Galadriel and Halbrand teleport all the way from Mordor to Eregion despite Halbrand having a wound that requires, ahem, “Elvish healing.” They must have ridden awfully hard to get there in just six days. We all saw the Mordor twist coming a few parsecs away and anyone paying attention knew Halbrand would be Sauron. Morfydd Clark (Galadriel), Charles Edwards (Celebrimbor) Ben Rothstein/Prime VideoĪ magician will distract you with his right hand so that you don’t notice what he’s doing with his left hand, but the creators of The Rings Of Power have proven to be less than gifted when it comes to magic.
Then who could Sauron be? The Left Hand Of Darkness

“I’m GOOD!” he says, making me question everything I know about professional writing in Hollywood, and then banishes them to, uh, the shadow with butterfly magic. He immediately steals a line from Gandalf telling the witches “From shadow you came and to shadow you will return!” Well, we knew he needed something to control his powers and the staff is that thing, it appears, because a moment later he’s put out all the flames and is standing tall and speaking clearly. Then the Stranger shows up and there’s a big old brawl the head witch lights everything on fire, and the Stranger thinks he’s bad now but Nori gives him a cheerful pep talk and then hands him the head witch’s staff. The Harfoots show up and see that there are only two witches so they distract them and go to release the bound Stranger-but it’s actually the head witch! You know, the witch who is so much more powerful than the Harfoots that she had literally no reason to disguise herself in the first place. (Side-note: It looks like The Stranger and Nori will head to Rhûn in Season 2 which I think is a great idea-if only they hadn’t butchered Season 1 first!) This all seems to excite The Stranger who starts doing his weird wind power until the witches stop him and start tying him up (only they hear something and decide that what they should do instead is shape-shift because. In any case, they promise to take him east to Rhûn where the veil clouding his thoughts can be removed and he can restore his powers.
