Anyway I’m so happy the Stranger really IS Gandalf, I would have been sooo disappointed if they’d only messed with us!! The way this episode took me on an emotional roller coaster ride.. I cried and I flailed and I gnawed on my boyfriend’s arm like a feral raccoon (don’t worry he’s okay he’s used to it).
Evil does not sleep, Elrond. It waits. And in the moment of our complacency, it blinds us.
