regarding the storyline of Gandalf.
They will make a story with Gandalf failing in Secong Age against the Blue Wizards (will we have any similar casting in season 3?), Khamul and Sauron,and taking responsibility for the loss of the East, he returns to Valinor, not wanting to return to Middle-earth again, let alone the East. After Isildur's death, since he is shown in the last episode of the series, we see him on a ship arriving at the Grey Havens with Saruman and Radagast.
I wish they have such a turn in mind. The Dark Wizard told Gandalf that 'you convinced me to come to Middle-earth to face Sauron' while as I recall Gandalf was the most hesitant of all. Showing in the series that he had eaten his face off against Sauron and the Blues in the East, which is why he was reluctant to come back, would have been perfect.
How does that sound?
Let's look at what we know
Annatar has ambitions in Rhun. Tom has told Gandalf that the dark wizard and Sauron are his enemies.
Sauron will end up with nine ring bearers (some from the East) and in Numenor; Gandalf will fail in the East. There can only be two ways of handling this:-
1) He protects the halflings who will ultimately lead to Sauron's final expulsion and keeps meddling at a distance (some dialogue from the LOTR novels) and survives to the third age as the strange old eccentric.
2) He is lost to Middle Earth in the second age and for an ROP audience that raises the stakes.
The key is that Sauron succeeds in the East; it's part of the story, and it echoes the Blues.
Finally, did you notice the Dark Wizard's last action was to look up at the star formation where two strands meet one? As if speculating that the earthbound formation is not complete.
My Dear Bilbo something is the matter with you! you are not the same hobbit that you were.
