Heroes confront the long-feared reemergence of evil in Middle Earth, carving out legacies that will live on long after they are gone.

Matt Roush says...

Those rings are causing trouble all over the realm as the epic fantasy series heads into the second half of Season 2. In Eregion, the ringsmith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) clashes with Annatar aka Sauron (Charlie Vickers) over creating more rings for men, the artisan fearing “the danger of corruption is too great.” (He’s not wrong.) Elsewhere, in the underground dwarf kingdom of Khazad-dûm, Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur) grows concerned after his ring-wearing father the King (Peter Mullan) shows signs of becoming obsessed with his new power.

AI and the Future of Us: An Oprah Winfrey Special (8/7c, ABC): We beg you, Queen Oprah, to lead us down that mystifying rabbit hole of newfangled artificial intelligence. And so she does, in an hourlong special that aims to shed light on the promise and perils of AI, featuring interviews with Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI, and tech visionary Bill Gates, who describes the oncoming revolution in science, health and education while also warning of AI’s potential impact on the job market. Oprah gets a demonstration of AI’s dazzling possibilities from YouTube’s Marques Browless, while FBI Director Christopher Wray reveals how criminals and foreign agents are using AI for nefarious purposes.
