The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 6 Review - "Udûn" - IGN

Warning: the below contains full spoilers for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Episode 6, which is now streaming on Prime Video.

But all of that groundlaying paid off in Episode 6, which served up an absolutely extraordinary hour of television that’s reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the Battle of Sodden Hill in The Witcher, and the best of Game of Thrones.

I’d love to know how Adar and Waldreg survived the collapse of Ostirith pretty much unscathed, but the entire episode is a back and forth as the humans and Adar’s forces take turns scoring big wins that then crumble into scathing defeats.The real action of the episode happens after Bronwyn and Arondir lead the retreat from the guard tower and start bracing for the counter offensive with plenty of ingenuity and tender moments.

The Rings of Power is reckoning with that through the different ways the orcs are viewed by Adar, Sauron, and Galadriel.

Galadriel and Halbrand take turns this episode pulling each other out of vengeful rages, the bond between them deepening up until the point it looked like it was about to actually get romantic before they’re interrupted to be pulled into a royal council.

The Lord of the Rings has always been a great franchise for horse lovers and there’s lots of spectacular riding shots in this episode, particularly involving Galadriel’s impressive saddle acrobatics and her chase scene with Adar.

While a handful of the cast have plot armor because it’s a prequel, the stakes feel real because both Arondir and Bronwyn are original characters, and I thought for a while that Bronywn was actually going to die this episode when the tide turned and she got shot.

When the key first twisted, it seemed like it was just going to cause a devastating flood.
