      To be fair, Finrod in the show is a great template for the more... feanorian Elves. He actually pops in my head when I think of Celegorm and Curufin.
      I also really like Bear McCreary's music (he was already a genius in his BSG days). But yeah, the show is all over the place and not very good in terms of writing.

    I think it's the best scene in the entire series. Very well portrayed. The origin of Mithril isn't canonical, more like a legend. The only thing that bothers me is the statement about the heart. It's blasphemous to say that this elf had a heart like Manwë. No elf or mortal is comparable to a Valar. I'd need to think about how to phrase it better. Perhaps something like "The fire Feanor sowed still burns in the heart."
