The Rings of Power is still an engrossing watch, but it's in danger of going around in circles

It seems the Valar are still unhappy with Palantir's choice. Míriel shows Galadriel the last remaining palantír , an indestructible crystal ball that foreshadows the future. Placing her hand on it, Galadriel receives a premonition of the Great Wave – a cataclysmic oceanic event that leads to the destruction of Númenor.
