Completely agree.

The final episode seemed like they figured out the slow burn from the previous episodes had been too slow

I also disagree on Elrond. That is no elf warrior.

Some of the casting was great. Elrond and Galadriel were terrible. Tolkien makes

Celebrimbor was great this season, though. He and Sauron side by side was

I'm not saying anything about the acting ability of either of them

I agree on Elrond, I thought Celebrimbor was fine.

It's flawed, but ultimately it's entertaining. My wife and I enjoyed it.

No problem not having him in the LOTR movies.

I thought he was an interesting side story in LOTR books. I agree

Yup, what we know of Bombadil from LOTR opens up license to treat him as an
