- TriviaFiona Apple's end credit song, "Where the Shadows Lie", marks the first time anyone has spoken or sung the complete Ring-verse ("Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky...") in an on-screen J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation.
- GoofsThe audio description states, "The perspective rises to take in the apple tree on the hill's crest, along with the tiny figures of Nori and the Stranger as they embark on their sojourn." This is a misuse of the word "sojourn", which refers to a temporary stay in one place.

Featured review
Great cinematography, predictable writing , bland and boring
The great tragedy of this show, is the sheer potential with this kind of budget and actors. The finale is no different, you can see what could have been, but they fail to deliver.
The writing quality is poor as ever, with twists and turns predicted by countless people. However, the cinematography remains excellent, acting of certain characters are still excellent, such as Daniel Weyman and Robert Aramayo, who's take on the characters feels consistent.
The pacing is poor and the forced connection between some characters that I will not name for the sake of avoiding spoilers is very obvious and frankly amusing. It has bits and pieces that are fun though, specially scenes around the ''Stranger'', even though we all now know who he is.
Overall not the worst episode in the season, but a weak finale with many questionable decisions plagued with inconsistent writing. Rings of Power will remain one of the great 'What Ifs' of the modern era.
