Adar and Galadriel had a nice chat last episode, and, to get ready for the episode today, those of you who haven’t watched it, I’ll give you a review of Adar’s truth, lies, and hidden meanings.
Number One: Each of them has a name, and a heart. LIE. I expressed this in the episode review. Orcs are monsters, and no, they do not all have names, or hearts. The Moriondor may be said to be more living, because they are the earliest orcs, still part elf, but the rest of them are grotesque monsters with no humanity whatsoever.
Number Two: I cut him open. I killed Sauron. I think we all know the answer to that one. The question is, is it a lie, or a mistake? He may think that he killed Sauron, but we all know he is very much alive. I believe personally that Sauron is already in Eregion as Annatar, because it’s one of the only ways to solve the mithril problem, and because, based on the lore, he shouldn’t be anywhere else.
Number Three: Maybe your search for Sauron’s successor should’ve ended in your own mirror. Hidden Meaning. Galadriel did show a bit of her dark side this episode, but obviously she isn’t Morgoth’s successor. Adar meant that she was overly murderous, and I agree with him in the way of, ‘Amazon hasn’t really portrayed her correctly’. Don’t get me wrong, this warrior-Galadriel is canon and awesome, but I don’t like the crazy woman who would torture the orcs and kill Adar right after she told Halbrand not to, or even threaten to commit genocide, just as a form of torture and sport.
