To pass that pin, they could have done a hug. I think the whole scene seems made to arrive to the kiss (why is Gil-galad there but is not involved in treating? He should be the one to decide after all), so to cater to the romantic part of the audience (again, soap opera style) and to get negative reactions from who knows that it'd be sacrilege in this world. 
As for the orcs, same as everything else - they want to add something revolutionary in that world but then immediately inconsistent. One scene orcs want to be loved, the next one savagely licking blood from knives (copied from LotR of course), then back to wanting love. It's like they didn't read the script they wrote.

I think it has the writing of a soap opera, plotlines does not make sense, characters have an average IQ near zero, full of internal inconsistencies, without any sense of scale, space and time. "Dinner time TV" that is more enjoyed watching it in the background, but with a wasted huge budget - some good showrunners could have made it a least on a Game of Thrones level series. The "Inside of episode" stuff is really comical when the showrunners and directors speak. Sadly it's the only "Middle-earth" series as of now.
 
Ah, I forgot: every few minutes there are callbacks to the movies + quotes straight up ripped from them but placed at random, like a sit-com.

Like it wasn't bad enough, countries aren't going to be announced as the country anymore, they're now officially racing under super lame forced nicknames.
 
Dutch Lions
Korean Tigers
American Eagles
Belgian Ice Bears
etc.

Nutella without cocoa? There are tens of brands of the same thing...

Yes, the Polish woman is the best in the world and there is no doubt about that. But even the best have to abide by the rules, no matter how unfair they may be. Just as the organizers allowed her to compete and only disqualified her later, as a high-level athlete she should also know how things work. You can judge the Brazilian character however you want, but there was a rule and it was not followed.

Not all disability is visible. An American swimmer had to unpack her entire disability and put with up with insults online after her disability was questioned this earlier week. Her comments on the matter were heartbreaking becuase she should have been celebrating a medal, but instead she had to defend the act of simply competing 

are the quarterfinalists - don't know the table, I only know that Italy will face the USA which I guess is the only thing you want to avoid here until the final.

The post really seems like announcing that he has signed a contract with a new club one week after the end of a season

That was never a controversy for anybody who has watched this sport for an hour.
 
in Judo you can win by strangulation or something but you can't break the neck I assume. 
that's the same with kicking (or punching) to the head in Karate, you can kick but you can't kick with maximum force. that's the first thing they teach you in Karate. the very first thing.

Remove sports that are dominated by one country, namely Diving and Table Tennis, if China wins all the medals then what is the point of competition (Badminton used to be part of it, but looks much more equal now in the past 3 cycles), Also remove Boxing which they are doing anyway, and Weightlifting, it's not really a competition, at this point it's who dopes the most, and we know China wins the doping contest hands down since Russia is banned. 
 
I would add a team golf competition, something like the ryder cup

Congrtulations @Morten Jensen  , for podium  @Topicmaster1010 and Italian @Faramir (2°medal)

And that some beach sprint events in rowing will replace the lightweights.
