About this episode
The episode discusses the conclusion of Chapter 2 of 'The Fellowship of the Ring', highlighting its dark themes and an uplifting ending.
Chapter 2 comes to an end. It feels like the darkest chapter yet (in comparison to the Hobbit and chapter 1) but ends on an unexpected high note. Something that feels designed by Illuvatar himself.
