Tolkien's legendarium. The speaker hopes that the trio may have another appearance in future episodes of the series.

01:55:00 In this section, the speaker discusses their disappointment in the plot twist of the TV show "The Rings of Power" and how they believe that it deviates too much from the original source material.

The YouTuber then notes that Sauron did not kill Galadriel, despite having the power to do so, because he believes that Galadriel is the only person who knows the secret of his ring, and that is the very reason he must now flee. The YouTuber also points out that Galadriel wants to stop him from returning by telegram but is unable to prevent it.
