Interesting insights & comments by all.

Like JRRJ, I felt a bit disappointed with Tom Bombadil…when I read The Hobbit as a kid, his character majiked the heck out of (or more likely into) me! I was obsessed with him. This version was great, but could have been so much more… hopefully, his character (and presence) will “grow” in all ways!

This episode had some really great moments but, like yourself, I’m not convinced by Tom. Yet.

The scene with the Ents was a highlight but the barrow-wights, whilst great in the build up, were too easily defeated

Either way, Elrond and Galadriel continue to have a fascinating relationship but all the jumping about between storylines weakens the dynamic

I agree that it certainly has Tolkien’s tone and I’m really glad you’re enjoying it 👍🏼
