Dun woke the Balrog.
Dave GonzalesHOST
12:47
Durin III is going to postpone the problem by fighting the Balrog and collapsing the Mithril Mine, but it does delay Durin IV and the dwarf troops long enough to add some tension to the final battle.

Celebrimbor notices that he's been glamored a little bit too late, learns Annatar's many names, tries to tell the elves who think he's crazy until Galadriel shows up, takes the Nine Rings, and Celebrimbor gets to tell off Sauron before Sauron kills him.

And what you're talking about is a conclusion to the traveling part of the story, which is we founded Hobbiton.
Dave GonzalesHOST
31:15
And I don't know if there's a lot to do with Hobbiton there.
Dave GonzalesHOST
31:17
I think there's a possibility that you could have once the dwarfs get driven out of the Misty Mountains because of the Balrog, which I think we're going to get some more stuff on that they sort of, you know, get driven to other places when we meet them in the Hobbit.
Sara BrownHOST
6:39
Absolutely.
Sara BrownHOST
6:41
So we begin with King Durin, who is about to break through into the Balrog's chamber, which does not sound like a good idea.
Sara BrownHOST
6:48
He's confronted by his son, who realizes that he is not strong enough to raise an axe against his father.
Sara BrownHOST
6:55
Nonetheless, the prince begs him not to open a hole into the cabin.
Marilyn R. PukkilaHOST

wonder what that might be.
Marilyn R. PukkilaHOST
7:31
Mmm.
Sara BrownHOST
7:33
With the shock of seeing his son thrown back by the sword of the Balrog, the king returns to his senses.
Sara BrownHOST
7:39
He takes off the ring and tells his son that he never let him win.
Sam StokesHOST
30:59
And there's, of course, there's a great climax.
Sam StokesHOST
31:02
However you feel about the Balrog, there's a great climax to their story.
Baz GreenlandHOST
31:06
Yeah, it goes back to my discussion with Luna after the season two was released.
Baz GreenlandHOST
31:10
And she described these scenes like Shakespearean levels of tragedy between them.
Baz GreenlandHOST
32:02
And the corruption of King Durin is fascinating.
Baz GreenlandHOST
32:05
The way he plays into it is brilliant.
Baz GreenlandHOST
32:07
And I love the Balrog scene.
Baz GreenlandHOST
32:09
And the first time around, I was like, I wasn't sure.

Our teacher is a Balrog.
Keenan DiazHOST

Just say it's some guy.
Keenan DiazHOST

Just say it's some guy.
Jonathan VoikoPANELIST
21:46
So that's what I'm hoping for.
Jonathan VoikoPANELIST
21:48
I don't want to have to wait for an entire season to see a Balrog or see this guy forging the ring right here.
Jonathan VoikoPANELIST
21:55
This better not be the final episode.
Jonathan VoikoPANELIST
21:59
Of the series.
ZelHOST

JoeyPANELIST
47:09
Chinese company, and I've mentioned this company before with the robot that looked like a demon.
JoeyPANELIST

FriendlyFireHOST
47:15
Oh, the fucking, yep, the firefighting robot.
JoeyPANELIST
47:18
Yep.
Nick PolkGUEST
13:42
A bunch of my, our lower, lower beings who join him basically become demons.
Nick PolkGUEST
13:47
So Balrogs are Maya.
Nick PolkGUEST
13:50
So they joined him.
Nick PolkGUEST
13:51
Uh, and so technically Sauron and Balrogs are the same category of being, uh, And so that's kind of the origins of Sauron as a being, if that makes sense.
Ryan DoesHOST
14:05
As a fallen angel kind of, I guess if we're comparing Christian theology to Tolkien's internal universe theology, he would be like a fallen angel.
Nick PolkGUEST
14:20
Yeah, totally, totally.
