Part 6/8:
The third episode, titled "The Eagle and the Scepter," is critiqued harshly, with Lana dubbing it potentially the most tedious of the three. The arcs regarding Númenor come off as filler content, diluting the tension built in previous episodes. The attempts to introduce backstory and maintain intrigue fall flat as the series indulges in unnecessary diversions that fail to connect back to the main narrative.
