Okay, so we're halfway through this season... and I don't really care all that much about anyone in this series. Liked the bit with Elrond and the dwarves, don't really like Galadriel and her arrogance and single-mindedness, still the Numenor bits were reasonably interesting (but why was Halbrand set free?), don't care about Arondir and Bronwyn (and please, can someone explain to me why she's running around in a fancy evening-dress when everyone else wears work clothes with jackets?), and I'm glad there were no hobbits in this episode.
I really like the LotR-verse, but this series is so filled with locations and characters that the plot and even the characterization just fall short. I know it's just the first season, but if one falls asleep watching this because there's no suspense, no level of caring for any of the characters simply because they're poorly developed, then it's doubtful that one'll even watch a possible second season... so I really hope this will pick up speed finally.
