I also love how it was different from Peter Jackson's Middle Earth. Partly because it's different ages like you brought up, but also because Peter Jackson isn't Tolkien so I love another interpretation of Tolkien's descriptions.

And I'm 100% with you on characters making impulsive decisions. Already annoyed a bit over that.

I didn't mind the slow pace, but it was a LOT of threads to be following, and that was where the slower pace felt off to me.

It's just great to be re-immersed visually in Middle Earth again.

I actually liked the slow pace because it made me feel like we were embarking on an epic journey that was going to take a long while— in a good, curl up with a blanket type of way. I liked that the show took its time with the scenery and world building. But I get your point as well!

And The Stranger… that has to be Gandalf, right?! Or Sauruman… but I lean towards Gandalf because of his love for Hobbits in LOTR.
