Lord of the Rings Series -- Amazon

In defense of season 1, it started out horrible and by the end of the season, it was better than horrible.
Which part was better?

The part where they put a magic key into a volcano and it floods a whole kingdom?
The part where Galadriel and Sauron make lovey-dovey eyes at each other?
The part where Numenoreans were a bunch of weak-willed weak-minded weaklings?
The part where migrating proto-hobbits leave their old and crippled to die?
The part where Gandalf kills some fireflies?

Blech. That's the sound of Tolkien vomiting in his grave.
