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...

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 …

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, an…

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…

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…

This week, we REFORGE our opinion on Partings - episode five of the Rings of Power. A LOT goes down in this episode, and we just about manage to cover it all. You get a full breakdown right from the start as Natalie gets emotional over The Wandering Day, you get multiple giggles from Paulina every time there's Halbrand x forge action, and we can al…

This week, we REFORGE our opinion on The Great Wave - episode four of the Rings of Power. Somehow, we talk more than ever, because this show is like a damn onion. We peel back the layers of the master manipulator, Halbrandron. We weep tears of joy over the thrill of Miriel and Galadriel existing at the same time. And then we savour every flavour of…

We're back to REFORGE our opinions on the Rings of Power - Adar. This week we set sail on some ships and ponder the definition of romance (so WHAT if he sometimes dark lords it up?), we sail into Numenor which is a marvel on so many levels (the set, the costumes, ELENDIL, ISILDUR, MIRIEL), and we both realise that Natalie should drink less coffee b…

In this episode we REFORGE our opinion of the Rings of Power - Adrift. Join us as we imagine Poppy meeting Elrond one day (honestly, imagine???), then theorise over Celebrimbor’s future ‘I can fix him’ vibe (we can’t wait to meet you, Annatar), before finally - and expectedly - melting down over all things raft (looks CAN be deceiving). We then ste…

In our first proper episode of Rings Reforged, we REFORGE our opinion of the first episode of the Rings of Power - A Shadow of the Past. Join us as we dig into the details, covering our least favourite moment of the entire first season (trollin'), diving deep into the topic of elven hairstyles (Ben Walker, nerd alert), and realising once again that…
