    178: Rings of Power Season 2 Ep. 6 | “Where Is He?” | Lore, Review, Reactions

    Explore Rings of Power season 2 episode 6 "Where is He?" by comparing scene-by-scene with one of J.R.R. Tolkien's core storytelling principles: the "inner consistency of reality." This concept, taken from Tolkien's famous essay "On Fairy Stories," is used as a lens to review an episode of Rings of Power. Analyze inconsistencies in character motivations, plot logic, and the internal rules of Middle-earth as presented in the show. From Arondir’s improbable journey to Celebrimbor’s shaky role as ruler, this review highlights why so many Lord of the Rings fans have grown frustrated with the series.
