<em>The Rings of Power </em>season 2 is back with a new mystery box to theorize about, and I've got to say I'm mostly just thrilled to see Ciarán Hinds kitted up for a role in Middle-earth. I'm intrigued by the theory that's been circulating that the Dark Wizard is going to become the Witch-king, which would mean he's not Istari but a human sorcerer. If The Stranger is meant to be Gandalf, then it'd be pretty underwhelming to have this character be another wizard.
