About this episode

The episode explores Gandalf's delayed realization about the true nature of the One Ring and its implications for understanding Middle Earth.

Gandalf is wise, right? Then why didn't he figure out that the ring was The One Ring sooner? Or why wasn't he more careful? The reasons not only make sense, but expand our understanding of the world of Middle Earth in a brilliant way.
