I've always liked Star Trek even going back to the original with Kirk and Spock 🖖, I've watched every film in all Star Trek films,The 1 that sticks out is when the BORG were introduced to Star Trek,They were a brilliant evil bad guys and I loved every moment of the film with the Enterprise going back in time to stop the Borg from wiping out mankind, I look forward to watching any other Star Trek films yet to be made,It's a shame they never made a Voyager feature film but I can't complain as they did have a few 2 part episodes.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🖖👍

Everyone cool it, Obviously they weren't going to go by the Silmarilion, It's a T v series and if you haven't read the Silmarilion then just take this show as it is,A clever different type of Litre,If they even tried to go by the Silmarilion they would have ran out of money so take the show as is, I've watched it and even though it doesn't follow Toikein,s Silmarilion big deal,Just enjoy the show and enough with the plot,If you really want to know read the Silmarilion.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

The stranger must be one of the blue wizards,They came before Gandalf but in the Silmarilion they don't get mentioned much,only they were to help against Sauron but there's no news how they were to do this,I read the Silmarilion years ago so I might be wrong about where they went and what they did,In fact there was only Gandalf,Sauraman and Radagast who we see helping Gandalf,I still like the Rings of power and eagerly wait till Thursday for part 7,I also hope there's a season 3 because I love everything Tolkien.
