THE EXPANSE Season 5 -  Bloopers & Gag Reel

You’ve shown me something I can never have. A normal life. A happy ending. We don’t all get a happy ending. What’s happening? A paralytic agent on the strings. I’m immune.

I am willing to put ACTUAL MONEY if I had any look dude I have student loan debt out the wazoo on the guess that the whole “mithril is made from the light of the Silmarils and we need it by spring or else” thing is a complete and utter fabrication by Sauron – damn sure now that he (or possibly an agent of his) is already in Eregion and whispering shite in Celebrimbor’s ear. I mean…it’s just such a Sauron thing to do. and the revelation that no, it’s not actually Silmaril-touched, just a really, really awesome ore is going to BREAK people – and yeah, by “people” I mean Tyelpë, mostly, because really.

ALSO, when you consider Durin’s (let’s be honest, completely hysterical) fib about the stone table? yeah, that feels like being given a clue to me. this whole thing is a great big tangle of absolute lies, and nobody’s gonna benefit.

(except for Dísa. she’ll get a nice table out of it all, at least.)

I do have a tendency to see intrigue where there is none, now and then – hey, I’m in the Blue Ajah, after all (if you’ll forgive the cross-fandom reference) – but, I mean. Really, there are so many layers of lies and omissions going on here, it’s just deception deception deception. People being deceived and deceiving others in return, being manipulated into doing manipulative things. and that? is peak Sauron. I mean…this a tree of deception and you can see all the branches! ‘Annatar’ lies to Celebrimbor, who tells the truth to Gil-galad, who lies by omission to Elrond (who gets lied to by omission again, this time by Tyelpë), who then lies by omission to Durin, who was keeping a secret (not in itself a crime, but)! No, no. It’s not a tree, it’s a cake. IT’S A WHOLE HORRIBLE LAYER CAKE OF LIES AND DECEPTION AND ELROND LOOKING LIKE A KICKED PUPPY
