We just couldn’t help ourselves—there are too many theories to discuss!

Spoilers ahead!

Join the Sib-Nerds as they discuss some of the popular (and not so popular) theories surrounding the characters and storylines of the first five episodes of Rings of Power. Are there multiple timelines? Who is the stranger? Why does Halbrand have a death grip on Galadriel? Where did Adar come from?

And the biggest question of all: Who is Sauron?

Do you think we’ve met him yet? If so, which character is Sauron in disguise?
