1. It's Gandalf. He wrote that F-shaped rune in the dirt. That's his rune. He also put it on Bilbo's door in the Hobbit.
2. Where do I find noodz of the albino naz-gal? She has that extra layer of psycho cray that I am in to.
3. So maybe the naz-gals coerced, or will coerce the blue wizards to head east? Or maybe that was the original destination of the maiar?
4. Galadriel's failure to reveal Sauron is analogous to Gandalf's failure to discover the ring until it was almost too late. Both of them go thru the same panicked turmoil once they realize it.
5. Gandalf and Galadriel are supposed to be as close as platonically possible. Will be interesting to see how that relationship develops. So maybe Gandy at least gets a handy? Sorry, I couldn't resist....
6. Methinks Sauron will be captured when the Numenors try to overthrow Arda. They bring him back as prisoner. Then Sauron goes to work on Numenor's next version of Donald Trump, convincing him to attack the Valar. Again, I'll be pissed if that earth-splitting scene doesn't live up to my expectations.
7. The Dwarves are fucked. The Hobbits are Hobbits.
8. I wonder if we'll see Elrond marry, have sons, and then his wife murdered by orcs.
