RINGS REFORGED is a podcast that exists because the two of us are SO obsessed with THE RINGS OF POWER, we simply can't stop talking about it. We rewatch (or reforge) episodes to see if our thoughts have changed with full context, then we rank our favourite scenes, quotes, and favourite characters. All the while, we try to pretend we're not fully unhinged when it comes to this show...

Oct 29 2024 62 mins

We welcome special guest, Rotem Rusak (Editor in Chief at Nerdist) to reforge our opinions on everybody's favourite anti-hero (or hero-hero), Adar.From Joseph Mawle to Sam Hazeldine, from unknown villain to tortured father. We've all been on a journey with this character, and it's a journey that has (in the show, at least) come to an end. So what better time to reflect?We talk with

Shadow and Flame - First Thoughts

Oct 05 2024 108 mins

Well, we are ALL IN OUR FEELINGS after an incredible finale...which hurt us in many ways. We did have some criticisms, and decided to tackle those first before ending on a high. So, if you want to jump around, timestamps follow!We start with our thoughts on the big Sauron and Galadriel scene (00:04:09) before concluding that much of our anxiety over how this was handled is to do wi

Doomed to Die - First Thoughts

Sep 30 2024 80 mins

This week, we learned how hard it is to discuss an episode the day after - especially one as good as this - because, coherent thoughts how? Doomed to Die was spectacular, and we are flailing.We kick off with Kissgate (00:03:38) so if you're tired of talking about it by now, you can jump ahead. From there, we're a little bit all over the place, so timestamps were difficult, but it g

Where Is He? - First Thoughts

Sep 24 2024 73 mins

This week, we take a slightly different approach because we're already so close to the next episode, picking THREE topics each to surprise the other with. There was a little bit of crossover, but we still managed to cover a good chunk of WHERE IS HE?After introductions, we kick off with thoughts on Earien (00:02:47), how she's being presented on the show, and her relationship with

Halls of Stone - First Thoughts

Sep 14 2024 91 mins

Surprise! It turns out that a combination of an incredible episode and the two of us (sort of) having a free morning means...podcast time (small note: we did have some issues with Paulina's audio, but we think we fixed it up well enough)!Episode 5 of season 2 was incredible, and we simply couldn't resist hopping on to give our quick thoughts. Unsurprisingly, those thoughts weren't

Season 2 - First Half Reactions

Turns out...we're still obsessed with this show!Join us as we take a 'quick' look back at the first four episodes of season 2, and share our thoughts so far. We took no notes, we were supposed to keep it short, but of course we had SO MUCH TO SAY.Featuring discussions about how much Gal misses her friend Hal, how Charlie Vickers is a superstar, how Berek is the secret MVP of the se

Alloyed Part II - Reforged

Jun 11 2024 89 mins

We are back to REFORGE our opinions on Alloyed (Part II) - the season one finale of The Rings of Power.This time we cover all things Eregion, which means we dig into the end of Hal&Gal, the rise of the Dark Lord, and enjoy our little sliver of Detective Elrond. We spend a lot of time just reading the script for this one because it's So. Good. And then we dive back into the fina

Alloyed Part I - Reforged

Jun 04 2024 71 mins

We are back to REFORGE our opinions on Alloyed (Part I) - the season one finale of The Rings of Power.After over a year away, we made the decision to split the finale in two so it wouldn't be too long...turns out we still had a LOT to say about the Stranger being Sauron, about the Harfoots being awesome, and about shipping a ship on a ship. Oh, and Earien is there as well. All thin

The Eye - Reforged

May 31 2023 119 mins

We are back to REFORGE our opinions on The Eye - episode seven of The Rings of Power.From the ash clouds of a volcanic eruption, to the depths of Khazad-Dum, we are all over the place in this one. Our naming of Daddy Durin is definitely a high point, as well as our devotion to Berek, AND our acceptance of Theo as the greatest hero ever created. We still haven't replaced Penitence W

Udun - Reforged

Mar 07 2023 125 mins

This week, we REFORGE our opinions on Udun - episode six of the Rings of Power.And it's a bumper episode because - wow - there was a LOT to talk about. Highlights include loving thinking about Aragorn, Natalie's ear splitting (sorry) rendition of Nolwa Mahtar, and Paulina giggling pretty much every time Halbrand is mentioned. Oh, and make sure you send in your top sexy horse moment
