Ciarán Hinds joins the cast of The Rings of Power, bringing with him hope for those of us who want the Stranger to be a Blue Wizard. But the Stranger wants to be good, whereas Hinds' Wizard appears to be anything but, foreshadowing a clash between the former friends. What version, or versions, of Tolkien's lore might Amazon be drawing from? Michael smells tragedy on the horizon.
