And RoP doesn't even have the rights to the Silmarillion, so I don't understand why so many people waste time being upset that a show that's *not* based on a particular book somehow isn't 100% compliant with that book...

Númenor? They have the climate to grow a lot of tomatoes, and pizza would probably be really popular at this place if only someone had a pizza oven:

Yes! Something like the features on the LotR extended editions.

(In general I wonder a lot about the logistics that probably went into all the greenery in this show!)

I know some varieties do get that large (and I assume these aren't wild ones), so I'm curious about whether the plants were grown elsewhere but transplanted to that spot for filming so they'd fruit on time and look like they'd grown that way naturally...

Yeah, it really was not clear to me what version of the events Eärien would have heard at that point, and why Elendil didn't clarify anything it if she'd only heard an incorrect/untrue account...

Maybe the writers are saving that for s3 when Isildur returns and finds out? (But it *was* strange that he seems to be forgotten about for the rest of s2...)

I call it LotR rather than TLotR, so I write RoP instead of TRoP.

For example, what if he and Eärien have a role in Isildur saving the fruit from Nimloth? Or, after the Downfall, he tries to persuade Isildur to give up the Ring, so what he said in s2e8 about Isildur being lost to Middle-earth was prophetic?

Also I may have over-thought this, but I wonder how significant it is that he has a Quenya name? Did Míriel bless him as a baby, as in s1e4? Can she tell him more about his mother, to persuade him not to go along with Pharazôn anymore, even if the Faithful don't accept him?

You're likely right. I don't expect he'll be forgiven by the Faithful. But I think there's potential for him to do good in the end. For example, if he returns and finds everything's gone too far, Míriel may be able to influence him (maybe by showing him compassion in ways his father does not).

I'm hoping he'll redeem himself in a future season...
