Well, it was quite the finale for Galadriel<\/a> in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/a>.<\/p>\n The warrior discovered that her new close companion Halbrand<\/a> (Charlie Vickers) had actually been her unseen nemesis Sauron<\/a> the whole time.<\/p>\n The Rings of Power season 1 ending<\/a> also saw the creation of the Three Rings of Power, which fans of The Lord of the Rings will be aware includes a ring (Nenya) that Galadriel herself will go on to wear.<\/p>\n Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the epic finale, actress Morfydd Clark discussed the events of the episode and what could come next for her elven warrior.<\/p>\n Yet, firstly, at what stage did Clark discover that Galadriel was being deceived all along by Sauron in the form of Halbrand?<\/p> \u201cWe\u2019d already filmed the first few episodes by the time I found out,\u201d revealed Clark. \u201cI did have my suspicions. And so yeah, by the time we filmed episode eight I was prepared for it.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the actress revealed that not all of the cast were so aware of Halbrand\u2019s journey but clues did exist on-screen.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we kind of did have a little secret,\u201d commented the Saint Maud star, \u201cbut then I think everyone started to kind of guess and, yeah, it was just really fun. And now watching it back again, I\u2019m like \u2018I didn\u2019t notice that.\u2019 There are lots of little easter eggs that I hadn\u2019t realised when we were filming, like, for example, that he\u2019s never asleep. \u2018Evil does not sleep, it waits.’\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, Galadriel had grown incredibly close to Halbrand over the course of the first season, so where does that leave her now and how does the deception change her relationship with both Sauron and revenge?<\/p>\n Clark explained: \u201cI think that she could be so deceived is quite horrendous and shows one of her limits, which I think kind of like over the 1000s of years that they\u2019re alive, unfortunately, the Elves learn their limits through quite catastrophic instances and this is one of hers.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd also, she\u2019s just going to have to carry a lot of guilt and I\u2019m really interested in, kind of, exploring that because there\u2019s something kind of always guilt-free about vengeance, I think, if someone\u2019s so wrapped up in that, so it\u2019s just going to be a really different plane.<\/p>\n \u201cI also feel so bad for her because she let him in. Actually, one of the moments that I liked filming was her seeing that he hadn\u2019t died [in the seventh episode] and just feeling grateful that he hadn\u2019t died. And now that obviously is going to be tipped on its head.\u201d<\/p>\n In their confrontation in the finale, Sauron offers Galadriel the chance to rule Middle-Earth at his side as his queen. The speech clearly recalls the one made by Galadriel when she briefly contemplates taking the One Ring from Frodo Baggins in the Third Age as shown in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.<\/p>\n Recalling that classic episode with Galadriel,\u00a0 Clark noted: \u201cShe\u2019s tempted enough to know that she can\u2019t go to Valinor until she\u2019s passed the test of rejecting the Ring, which she does thousands of years later. So she is made aware of a part of herself that is capable of terrible things.\u201d<\/p>\n Clark adds of Galadriel in the series: \u201cShe\u2019s going to become more powerful by having a ring, so she\u2019s going to be more aware of the damage she could do when she\u2019s powerful and more powerful. So I\u2019m really looking forward to kind of exploring that. But yeah, I think it\u2019s a completely life-altering, self-image-altering, moment for her.\u201d<\/p>\n When discussing what else comes next for her character in the second season, Clark has her own desires for her character \u2013 to see Galadriel interact more with other elves.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m hoping to be spending time with elves. Just because I think that she was quite like an elf alone in this season and spent a lot of time with humans and even when she was with the Elves, she was, kind of, feeling at odds with them.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I would love to explore how weird the Elves are in that, like, for example, there\u2019s like one story of these two elves, they just meet in the woods and fall in love and then just stare at each other for like, 50 years before they move. Like, could you? I\u2019d like to explore the kind of cat-like, animal-like aspect of what part of them that is an elf and not human by being with other elves.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, the prospect of Galadriel being reunited with her long-lost husband Celeborn has also been teased in the seventh episode<\/a> and Clark already has her own visions of their relationship.<\/p>\n The Eternal Beauty star teased: \u201cI see Celeborn and Galadriel as being, like, running around trees and riding their horses together and, kind of, that when she\u2019s with him, she really soaks up all the things of being alive.\u201d<\/p>\n In the works of Tolkien covering later events in the Second Age and the Third Age, Galadriel is also depicted as a mother and later as a grandmother.<\/p>\n \u201cI would definitely be interested to explore what is elf motherhood and fatherhood and childhood,\u201d commented Clark, \u201cthat\u2019s something I\u2019d be open to exploring.\u201d<\/p>\n In the legendarium of Tolkien, Galadriel becomes the mother-in-law of her friend Elrond<\/a> (Robert Aramayo), who recalls their first meeting in the finale of The Rings of Power.<\/p>\n However, Galadriel has made discoveries regarding Sauron that she has not shared with Elrond ahead of the creation of the Rings of Power.<\/p>\n Teasing their evolving relationship in the second season, Clark noted: \u201cNow we\u2019re going into Season 2 with her having betrayed him. Well, not lied, but omitted the truth\u2026lied by omission in quite a big, big way to get these rings made. And so that will also be an interesting thing for their relationship because he will view her as really having done something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more on The Rings of Power:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1 is on Amazon Prime Video\u2013 you can sign up now for a free 30-day Prime Video trial<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch in the meantime, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our dedicated\u00a0Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a> to get each issue delivered to your door.\u00a0<\/strong>For more\u00a0from<\/span>\u00a0the biggest stars in TV, listen to the<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Radio Times\u00a0View<\/span>\u00a0From<\/span>\u00a0My<\/span>\u00a0Sofa<\/span>\u00a0podcast<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By Lewis Knight Published: Friday, 14 October 2022 at 12:00 am **Spoiler warning for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 8** Well, it was quite the finale for Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
