"It's also a psychological thriller," Payne adds of the season's arc. Sauron is forced to take new form now that Galadriel has warned her allies not to trust Halbrand. He transforms into Annatar, the Lord of Gifts, to combat this, a guise Vickers says is specially designed to lure in Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards). Annatar manipulates the master craftsman into making rings for Dwarves and Men, an act that will make "Celebrimbor descend into madness and Eregion hurtle towards potential destruction," Payne reveals
Lmao, a "psychological thriller"
Galadriel and Sauron share the deepest connection to another being either of them has ever experienced, a fact that haunts them both in the new episodes. What they share "is greater than romance," Vickers explains. "Their connection runs far deeper than anything surface level."

what.
The first season Sauron tried to trick the elves into making 3 rings and was quickly unmasked.
Season 2 is now him just growing long hair and trying again?

walks into Eregion looking exactly like he did as Halbrand, only with a terrible wig and fake ears
Celebrimbor: Who is that mysterious stranger whom I have never seen before in my life? Never mind, I'm sure I can trust him and will do his bidding unquestioningly!
Sauron: Yes! I knew they would never see through my cunning disguise!
At least in the canon story, before Payne and McKay 'improved' it, this all makes sense.
Even better (or worse), Sauron didn't try to trick them into making the three rings, that was Galadriel's idea. Because nobody is allowed to have any ideas except her. Sauron was probably trying to get Celebrimbor to make a ring, the first attempt at a controlling ring, but it was Girlboss Galadriel who decided it would be three rings.
So now Sauron is trying Plan B, by coming back in disguise and getting Celebrimbor to make all the other rings. We have to have the story going backwards, because that is so much better than what Tolkien originally wrote as the plot, and this is for modern audiences, you know!
