You know it’s Gandalf. Lol Just like you knew Halbrand was going to be Sauron. It’s the kind of amateur writing you’d get from inexperienced showrunners.

Pretty sure they didn’t get back in touch with PJ was because they were scared he’d overshadow them, regardless of how little he’d be involved.

But anyway, I enjoyed the show just enough to keep watching the rest of the seasons.
