Best episode by far
This was easily the best episode of the season. It's somewhat hindered by being saddled with the weaker writing of the previous episodes, more of the poor dialog, and a desire to cram some of Tolkien's popular characters together, but... as a whole, it was a good episode.
If you've stuck with Rings of Power this long, Alloyed (not a great name, imo) should be entertaining and the high point of the season. Our protagonist still has some issues, but the pacing was good, there was some intrigue, and even the main mystery box is handled pretty well.
I wish the rest of the episodes had been more like this (but, please, stop trying to spin silly metaphors out of every other line of dialog).
Hopefully season 2 will be more like S1E8.
