Here is Dr. Scott Masson’s in-depth analysis of Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power‘s second episode, “Adrift.”
In this episode: Galadriel finds a new ally; Elrond faces a cold reception from an old friend; Nori endeavors to help a Stranger; Arondir searches for answers while Bronwyn warns her people of a threat.
If you missed his analysis of the first episode, A Shadow of the Past, you can find that here.
