The Rings of Power episode 6 is the epic, explosive series-defining entry we've been waiting for
Multiple skirmishes break out as the Southlanders defend their positions, with frenetic close-quarters combat ensuing between the two sides. Arondir engages a giant orc, who quickly overpowers the elf and, after pinning the bloodied and disoriented Arondir to the well outside the tavern, seems set to kill him.
Springing an ambush of their own, Adar's orcs murder many Southlanders in a hail of arrows while severely injuring others – Bronwyn and Tredwill included. Other orcs rush from the treeline as the remaining Southlanders retreat to the safety of the tavern. Inside, Tredwill succumbs to his injuries, while Arondir and Theo use the remaining alfirin seeds to seal Bronwyn's wounds to stop her bleeding out.
The action is hard-fought, frantic, energetic, and satisfyingly choreographed. That's to be expected for a show of this scale and scope, but it's no less thrilling and packed with stand-out moments. Galadriel's effortless Ukrainian Cossack-style riding, Halbrand and Isildur coming to Elendil's rescue, and the subtle references – albeit on a smaller scale – to that Helm's Deep cavalry charge are three such engrossing instances.
In a role reversal from earlier, Halbrand appears before an increasingly hot-headed Galadriel moves to kill Adar for his ongoing provocations. The duo head off to a nearby stream and engage in a heart-to-heart; one seemingly dripping with sexual tension before they're interrupted by a Númenorean soldier. The Rings of Power episode 6 reveals the birth of an iconic Middle-earth location.
However, when Theo unwraps the blanket the handle is wrapped in, he's startled to see it's been replaced by an ordinary axe. Oh, Adar, you sly dog. Water rushes through the valley, interrupting a heart warming chat between Isildur and Elendil as it does so. Earthquakes begin to shake the Southlands as the gushing water travels through the tunnels dug by the orcs towards the mountains, where it meets a colossal lava pool inside a dormant volcano. The concentrated steam pressure causes the volcano to erupt, spewing fiery rocks that rain down on the Númenoreans and Southlanders.
