![]() ![]() Saruman and the Blue Wizards were supposed to be in the Second Age according to Peoples of Middle Earth(one of the History of Middle Earth Books) being joined by Glorfindel. We know from the traditional lore that the Istari/Wizards don’t show up till early Third Age, The reason I believe he's already in Middle Earth at the start of the series is because of Celebrimbor's extreme need to build this new fantastical forge in such a hurry. Also, he's known as Annatar the Fair in the Second Age, and Mystery Man doesn't fit the bill in my mind. Were it him, I feel he wouldn't want to announce to the whole world that he's back by crashing to the ground as a falling star. ![]() think he's already in Middle Earth at the start of Episode 1, he's just been in hiding, and still is - to an extent. Landing amidst some Hobbits to befriend, seemingly having some kind of magical influence, beard, etc. But I feel like they're trying *too* hard to make it seem like Gandalf. We know from the traditional lore that the Istari/Wizards don't show up till early Third Age, but they have had to do some time compressing for the show, so that's a monkey wrench. Spoilers Mystery Man!! I've been doing a lot of thinking on that one. House of the Dragon has been pretty darn good so far for me, although that whole marriage debacle had my inner Elliot Stabler all in a tizzy. ![]()
