Interesting point in "The Great Wave" is the presentation and introduction of the character of Adar (Joseph Maule), a dark elf with evil intentions. It only took a few minutes for it to become clear that he is the most interesting character of the series so far. But perhaps his decision to free Arundir (Ismael Cruz Cordova) is a bit difficult to understand. Well, yes, plot-wise Arundhir's presence is essential to the further course of the show, but what drives him to make decisions is a foundation that doesn't make sense.
The above makes this episode fun. Finally, there is still interest in the fate of the characters (some more than others). Maybe the highs and lows of this episode are just a small bump on the way to something even bigger. So, now is not the time to lose faith in the series.
In conclusion, the fourth installment of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power continues to show tremendous strength in terms of visual identity, but it still has a lot to improve in its scripts, direction, and character portrayal. All in all, "The Great Wave" is an episode with plenty of light and shade that promises to be the beginning of an ending for the series' most introductory installment. We hope that this work will return to the reliable path.
