The Rings of Power: What Does the Balrog Mean in Episode 7 on Amazon Prime Video?

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ is very close to its season finale, because in this first week of October the seventh chapter of its story arrived on Amazon Prime Video, with an ending that was not revealed to none other than the Balrog, one of the most feared creatures to have appeared in JRR Tolkien’s booksso now many are wondering what role it will play in this production.
