Galadriel is indirectly asking him if there was ever anything real between them in a moment of unforeseen vulnerability, his mask drops and he confesses that not everything was an illusion – he has to let her know, and his Halbrand accent instinctively comes through #tropspoilers

she had already asked him the same question before, and both times he didn't give her the answer she expected he did use her, but the fact that they developed a genuine bond throughout their time together caught him by surprise and it's not something he will deny #tropspoilers

a part of her still finds it difficult to accept Halbrand and Sauron were one and the same his words remind her that she can't think of him and Halbrand as two separate entities she must admit to herself that she cared for him – Sauron, her greatest enemy #theringsofpower

however you interpret their relationship, it's undeniable that Galadriel, at the very least, considered Halbrand a friend he wants her to acknowledge the fact that "they have a connection that's above everyone else in the world" (Charlie's words, not mine) #theringsofpower

their time together wasn't entirely built on deception the strong connection and understanding that grew between them was, and still is, real, and it will endure for thousands of years #theringsofpower

Sauron will always reach to see her and read her mind – some might call it an obsession – but over time Galadriel will become so powerful that she will be able to block him out and close the door permanently, entering his mind and uncovering his thoughts instead #theringsofpower

I wish we had a reaction from HER to his confession.. thats the big missing thing from their scenes. Something from her. I guess it was too much to ask

I'm happy we got confirmation that she was in love with or, at the very least, really cared about Halbrand (which has always been something obvious imo), but yes, I agree 💯

I love how when he says not all of it the his voice switches to halbrand tone

I wonder if Charlie did it on purpose 👀

Didn’t spot that accent thing- v clever.

I wonder if Charlie did it on purpose or it just happened
