Halbrand is Galadriel's FORBIDDEN love? The Rings of Power creates another new character.

We've already got new hobbits, new dwarves, and apparently a wizard too in the 2nd age? So who really cares about another new human character?!

We do! :). Jonathan, Dan, and Michael share their thoughts on Halbrand, a fugitive running from his past... Will he fall in love with Galadriel? Will she save him on the stormy seas? Will he continue to audit feminist dance theory with his beat-up guitar?
