To start with, I agree that this season is an improvement upon the first season.

But I dislike it so very much. It totally desecrates the lore.

And it blatantly copies Peter Jackson's movies, down to the very filming shots and styles, from the copy-paste of Brego the super-horse, to the "And I'm coming with you!" surprise appearance moment of Poppy/Samwise Gamshe, Not-Saruman, and the list goes on, but with none of the talent for story-telling.

There are *many* plot-points balancing haphazardly on unexplained coincidences and unplausible circumstances.
