That song! Such a fine nod to Tolkien, it had me in tears.
The mysteries continue. (For the record, I think Halbrand is just himself, and perhaps the ancestor of Theoden. I think the stranger is Gandalf, and I find the mysteries and guessing and picking out clues interesting.
I like the way they are developing Isildur as a whiny, entitled brat with no sense of community and an overwhelming and undeserved sense of himself. When what happens at the Gladden Fields happens (the idiot!), this is precisely the younger version who would grow up to make such a terrible mistake.
I think the Halbrand decision-making was given short shrift, my one complaint. Lovely visuals again.
And OMG, that song.
