You're really fun to re-watch with! Mrs. Hart's "real" name is Sharon Davis (she told Agatha). I haven't read any comics, but I have watched all the MCU too many times, including WandaVision (rewatched a lot) and already episode 1&2 of AAA (or should we call Agatha All Along, A³ ? Lol) do that's where my guesses/theories are from... the 7 look like that, I think because of how they died (the front person was burnt at the stake maybe?) Black heart was definitely for Rio Vidal (her ex-lover or whoever Aubrey Plaza is playing). Mark my words, the gate appeared because the Salem Seven had entered the house, and are a 'real' coven [Aubrey/Rio threatened she was going to alert the Salem7 so they would come after Agatha . But also I think Kitty is going to turn out to be powerful, Whitney Van Laningham (youtuber) theorized it based on Mrs.Hart being the only regular Westview resident who broke through Wanda's illusion/spell at all [1st W.V. ep. When she tells Wanda "please stop, stop, please stop" when Wanda makes Mr.Hart choke on his food]. Last thing, my own theory: the ex-cop/Hot Topic security guard witch who's Mom was a famous witch, lost on the Witches' Road. We'll its going to turn out she (the witch mom rockstar) will have been involved w/ Agatha's original walk on the W.Road & Agatha is at least partly responsible for her being lost/stuck there/missing. I'll definitely be back to re-watch future episodes here, I've sub'd, your reactions were so fun!
Adding on the crown he was stabbed with being Morgoths does make Sauron being beaten by a horde of orcs and Adar more reasonable though still a little underwhelming. Would have liked them to mention the crown being Morgoths in the scene and a little more of an obvious affect of it weakening him after the stabbing like a darkening vein affect from the wound but oh well. Love Saurons little half smirks, poor Gelebrimbor such a good guy in an awful downward spiral
I don’t think “Teen” is just a fanboy, and I don’t think he’s as wide eyed and innocent as he pretends to be. I think him being Billy is too obvious. I also think there’s more to Mrs. Hart than meets the eye as well. It’s implied that Agatha just picked her as a random, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that she almost hit Teen with her car in the first episode. Either they’re working together or working towards the same goals. But I could be completely wrong about both of these theories. 😂😂
I love your reactions. Third option for the Stranger: What if the only way to save Nori is if the Stranger gives up all ego, all personal desire and listen to the Secret Fire? Not an either-or choice but a blended choice.
Fun fact: King and the guard that tried to get Eda in the beginning, also hooty, is voiced by Alex Hirsch, who is the creator of Gravity falls. Which is another Disney show I hope you react to. Great reaction! Your going to love this show as it goes on.
Given some of the language you used in the discussion, it seems like you've already picked up on the neurodivergency allegory! This show definitely has a message of radical acceptance and self love, and I think you're really gonna like it! This is also a show that just gets better and better as it goes, so have fun.
I think that’s the point: we’re stuck watching a train wreck and the utter destruction of at least one character we like, but Sauron is so damn at being evil. I’m caught between thoroughly enjoying Sauron’s manipulations and dreading the end I know is coming.
I'm 99% that Aubrey Plaza is playing Mephisto (who's pretty much literally the Devil in Marvel). I think Agatha made a deal with the devil in the past to get her power, but part of the deal was that Mephisto is forbidden to kil her and Mephisto has been mad at Agatha because she outsmarted the Devil.
I think it was another really good episode. I think the “Stranger” will choose to save his friends. And maybe there will be something in his actions that leads to him getting the staff he needs anyway. Otherwise, the show’s use of that famous Gandalf quote by Tom about one not deciding who deserves life and who deserves death is being twisted to mean the “Stranger” should abandon his friends.
The worst thing about Celebrimbor forgetting the name of his smith, Mirdania, is that she is literally named after the Elven Smiths that he is the head of! The Gwaith-i-Mirdain, the "People of the Jewel Smiths" is the name of the people of Ost-in-Edhil, the capital of Eregion, according to Tolkien! So that should give you some conception of how warped by Sauron his mind is becomming. "What are you doing to this poor man?" Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss. We see it all in this episode. Gaslights Celebrimbor about his hammer. Gatekeeps him from the people of Eregion. And Girlbosses his way to getting the Nine made by using magic to fake that there isn't a siege alarm going off. Adar and his army aren't cutting off the Mithril deliveries from Khazad-dum. They are encircling Ost-in-Edhil, the main city of Eregion, across the river Sirannon, to the West. They are between Eregion and Lindon. Khazad-dum is to the East, in the Misty Mountains. I'm sure there's some path up through the cliffs to get to the High Road to the Doors of Durin, given that - of course - we see Annatar in Khazad-dum just a bit later. But the reason the dwarves are not sending the Mithril is that the Ring is working a little too well on King Durin III: he's becoming too greedy, and so he's cutting off the supply to hoarde it. Friendly reminder that Balrogs are the same thing as Sauron - they're corrupted Maiar who fell into the service of Morgoth. They just fell... much further than Sauron did. The Balrogs - there were anywhere between 3 and 7 of them known of in the Legendarium - dwelled with Morgoth at his fortress of Utumno until the Valar defeated him in the Battle of the Powers before the awakening of Elves or Men. They fled the destruction of Utumno, and began to hibernate beneath the mountain of Angband. When Morgoth destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor and stole the Silmarils, kickstarting the events of the First Age, he fled to Middle-Earth with his conspirator and collaborator - Ungoliant, the primordial demon spider mother of Shelob. She grew ravenous from the succor of the trees, and tried to eat Morgoth himself. His cry of anger and pain was so loud, it summoned the Balrogs to him: and they drove Ungoliant off into the wilderness. They fought for Morgoth throughout the First Age, and were among his most terrible and feared servants. Only one is known to have survived the War of Wrath, when the Valar and their armies came to the aid of Elves and Men against Morgoth, and finally defeated him - at the cost of destroying a full third of the continent Middle-Earth sits upon. And that sole known survivor is the Balrog of Moria. So when Sauron sees the Balrog's likeness in the torch while speaking with the Durins, and he smirks as he leaves, it's almost certainly because he knows as they keep going deeper, they're going to find something they absolutely cannot ever hope to stop. Just as the Great Eagles are the servants of Manwe Sulimo, the Lord of the Valar and Lord of the Winds and Airs, I think we have to assume that the Sea Worm is a servant of Ulmo, the Lord of Waters. That creature fully examined Miriel, and then not only refused to eat her, it put her back ashore right in front of the crowd in a way that cannot be interpreted as anything but marking her as innocent of all crimes laid at her feet, including Treason against Pharazon. The previous times we've seen it, it was attacking the ship and the raft that Sauron was on, and being prevented from eating him because it got tangled and snarled in the rigging of the sinking ship. There is very little doubt in my mind now that that Sea Worm was specifically sent after that ship, and the raft, because the Valar knew Sauron was aboard. "I hope some fate befalls him and his son that's just a little bit worse than the entire city plunging into the ocean." Well, since Kemen, the son, is an original character for the show I can't tell you that one, but I can promise you Pharazon's fate is very well deserved. I think you're exactly right, Omni, about his blood being what binds the Nine. Remember: "Only blood can bind," as the show said itself just a couple episodes ago. Sauron came back from Khazad-dum with no Mithril, and now - suddenly - in this fun little dream state he's enchanted up for Celebrimbor, he's got plenty of Mithril to give him? I'm pretty sure the Nine are being implied to be made of an alloy built on Sauron's blood, hence their overwhelming power to corrupt and dominate. There's no mithril at all in their creation. Fun fact: that day-to-night shot transfer where Sauron lets the illusion drop was apparently done entirely in camera, which is just some of the most impressive technical filmmaking I've seen in awhile. To your question about the Stoors and what's going to happen to them - if they'll join up with the Harfoots - there's three main types of Halfling in Tolkien's Legendarium. Fallowhides and Harfoots are the two main inhabitants of the Shire, and the Stoors tend to live near the Great River when we know them in the Third Age. But the fact they're calling their cave-holds "smials" is definitely significant: as that's the name of some Hobbit hole home types in the Shire in the time of The Lord of the Rings. Your connection to Erebor and its hoarding of wealth eventually attracting Smaug is more apt than you realize, I think! Thorin's grandfather, Thor, the King Under the Mountain when Smaug arrives - who had amassed such treasure that it lured a dragon wore the last of the Seven Dwarf Rings still at large in the world about 3,000 years later. He left it to his son, Thror, before he went into battle against Azog the Defiler and the Orcs of Moria - where he lost his life. And Thror wore the ring until his death in the dungeons of Dol Guldur, the Hill of Sorcery, where the Ring was then claimed by The Necromancer - who, of course, was Sauron disguising himself to rebuild power during the time of "The Hobbit." And, in fact, according to Tolkien - it's the exact same ring that King Durin III is wearing in this series. The first of the Seven to be forged, and the last of the Seven to be accounted for.
Milord Omni worried about his audio meanwhile he still sounds fine. <3 all good boss!~ hope the PC fixes work out for you know thats gotta be stressful! HYPE FOR 6 (easy early comment0 thanks for the reactions as always and also congratz on the big 100k loved seeing that on twitter!~
People think TEEN is Billy Wada’s son feels too obvious to me I hope its a random teen Billy but with Agatha’s son Nick Scratch soul back from the dead’s thanks to Mephisto and i hope Rio is playing Mephisto daughter (it’s a son in the comics but they could of changed it so people wont guess) & that could explain why Rio & Agatha can’t kill each other (if your know you know) 😉
My theory, the flask he gives Brimbi, i think that is a mirage also, i think that is not mithril, but his blood. i think he used the failed rings on the floor and gathered items he could use, added his own being to it and gave it
I have seen a lot of people think that the mithril is made of Sauron’s blood. And I think that makes a lot of sense. Remember “only blood can bind.” But I really like this additional idea that Sauron could have gathered up the mithril from the floor and the failed trials to make rings, and then mixed it with his blood. It gives him something tangible to work with.
The rings must have mithril, so perhaps he did steal some from the dwarves, he was already there, he could have easily manipulated any of the dwarves to get him some, it is unclear why he has to cut his hands while he was in the tower…
This show (and this season in particular) has been absolutely stellar, front to back. I can’t believe how engrossing it is. The next two weeks are going to be WILD
