#a totally shallow commentary but i need to say it: cynthia addai robinson is the most beautiful woman ever

I didn't know until now that Deadline is hosting those exciting behind the scenes episodes where the actors, writers, directors and others members of the artistic team explain how they create the show.

If you loved like me episode 5 Partings, you will really enjoy this bonus.

This time the special guests are for the actors: Morfydd Clark (Galadriel),Charlie Vickers (Halbrand), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Queen Regent Miriel), Trystan Gravelle (Pharazon), Ema Horvath (Earien), and Leon Wadham (Kemen)

The episode director Wayne Che Yip, writer Justin Doble, and composer Bear McCreary gave too some interviews.

My favorite parts:

When Charlie Vickers and Wayne Yip confirmed that Morfydd Clark and all the actors that played with her in the swords fight scene had done so much stunt rehearsal, when came the day of filming it, they did the entire scene without the help of the stunt actors, which allowed the director to make full shots of Morfydd instead of doing only close ups of her face to hide the fact it's not her.

Leon Wadham is so excited about playing Kemen, his relationship with Eärien and his father Pharazön! He gave a lot of insights about what Kemen thinks and what he wants, that changed my view on the character and his intentions."His" Kemen is more eager initially to follow his father's path and more selfish than i perceived him to be, thus Isildur's decision to save his life instead of running away shocked him: he saw it as something incredibly selfless and heroic.

Ema Horvath brings so many good insights about Eärien's attachment to Nùmenor, how her love for Isildur is linked to the fact that she already lost her mother and can't see her other brother.

Which brings the question: what about her father? Why isn't her relationship with Elendir more developed? They had one scene together long ago (episode 3), in which' their relationship didn't seem good. While he showed a strong support to Isildur's career to the point to force him to enroll in the Sea Guard, he was shocked that she submitted a new application to the Builder's Guild (she hide it from him probably because she feared he would discourage her, he was already convinced the Guild wouldn't reconsider its decision), and shouted at her when she tried to defend her brother. When they left for war, the crowd stopped her from reaching Isildur, which broke her heart, but nothing was showed or said about her feelings about Elendil'sdeparture (unless it was cut).

Everything that Bear McCreary said about the role of music in Tolkien's work and what it meant to him is like poetry (especially the part where he said he was already creating music for the LOTR universe in the back of his mind decades before being hired for the series). He's so attuned to Tolkien's work, so immersed in Howard Shore's soundtracks for the films and in Peter Jackson's adaptations, that contributing to the series is really a dream coming true for him, which explains why he reacts in such powerful and vibrant way to it.

I discovered his work on Battlestar Galactica (2005), the best Sci-Fi show ever made, and to say he fell deeply in love with this show and felt it in his bones wouldn't convey even enough how composing for BSG was intense for him. BSG soundtracks were his greatest work ever. I feel the same level of dedication here and it's moving.

The actors, writer and director are talking a lot also about Galadriel and Halbrand's relationship, so it's a good BTS episode for their fans too.
