This is one of very few series where I've watched each episode at least twice while waiting for the next. Yes, it's slow, but it's also stunning.
I liked the scene with Galadriel riding. Until then she'd been shown as a hardened, argumentative and strident warrior except in the very start as a child. The scene shows a different side of her, which makes her happy; she's not entirely broken even after centuries searching for Sauron.
The films were really annoying to see end to end, the long version are unbearable. Music is better in RoP, every character and place has their theme, and they blend superbly like in Wagner or Monteverdi, unlike in the films. I also feel like dialogs are better in RoP, and the whole thing feels less "heavyweight" in everything... in a way, closer to the books.
One thing distinctive in Tolkien universe is evil inside familiar things, and this is definately there in RoP, almost everywhere.
