It reminds me a lot of Star Trek #StrangeNewWorlds, where some episodes are wonderful, and some episodes are plagued by prequel-itis, where the writers, knowing that a character will do a thing in the future, become incapable of writing that as a natural development instead of inevitable destiny.

*pouts* I only know one person as into Tolkien as I am, and they refuse to watch #RingsOfPower so I have no one to nerd out wiiiith. I want to gush about the good (Celebrimbor 😭) and whinge about the bad ("Grand-elf" my ass). I just want a nice community of Tolkien fans who can talk ROP respectfully
