In this episode of Murdur Durdur Pod, Gretchen and Dennis recap S1E5 of AmazonPrime's "The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power", "Partings", in which the new power team finally assembles and prepares to leave Numenor, half of the watchtower gang parts ways to team up with the enemy, and Nori calls it quits with her new bestie. Its a bittersweet mix of hopefulness and hopelessness as we head into the back-half of the season, approaching episode 8 much too quickly.
