Rings of Power - Season 2, Episode 3: The Eagle and the Sceptre (with Breabird)

Episode 215

mardi 3 septembre 2024Duration 01:30:12

Well, I’m back. And we’re watching season 2 of Rings of Power! We encounter the biggest controversy in Rings of Power so far, an orc baby, Isildur is a confirmed horsegirl, and the dwarf writing team needs a raise.

Editor’s note: There was a quick turnaround on this one due to my personal schedule this week so there was very minimal editing! Thanks for understanding that there may be some awkward pauses or overlap and stumbling over words. Please reach out if there are any distracting errors in this episode.
