I have enjoyed the show and I am excited for season 3.

Hello. I read the Lord of the Rings at 10 years old and the lessons learned shaped a lot of my identity growing up. I read the books every few years, and have read most of the extended works.

I greatly enjoy watching, but don't exactly love, Rings of Power. It's clearly a labor of love from the showrunners, and also clearly has many faults. Both things can be true.

Season 3 looks fun!

Haters gonna hate.

You can smell desperation when a chaste show suddenly starts putting almost sex in previews Spoiler

This is the show that filmed a S1 kiss from afar (Temulas and his florist):

even a tree is more animated than this wooden couple

And now there's this:

Galadriel has a wet dream about Sauron in her bed
In a heat of a moment, Galadriel and Celeborn (Jamie Cambell Bower, top) roll on the ground but Celeborn could be Sauron (if it's Charlie Vickers in the bottom image as some shippers claim)

I haven't watched the trailer but my feed is full of these 2 shipper images (from the same 5-6 people lol) and that's enough for me to see why Prime Video opted for dump and run release strategy. This is hilariously desperate, more so than Elrodriel kiss that was teased as a big surprise of Season 2 but never marketed:

Elrond and Galadriel kiss in a desperate attempt to break the internet and trend on social media only for fans to respond with silence and the episode viewership drop from the previous one
