South Park showed us that even if we get over religious differences we'd still fight amongst ourselves over some other reason.

I recall similar outcry over The Passion of the Christ.

People can get invested in their myths.

Perfectly exemplified by religion in general declining and people making up new bullshirt to be tribal about and fight over. The problem is and always has been people, full stop.

I enjoyed it

I’ll finish out the season, but it’s really starting to lose my interest. Hopefully it actually goes somewhere with 3 left.

Much better. I was afraid we were going to enter Walking Dead territory where the payoff for a buildup never comes.

Only 1 episode left, and we got to see how Mordor was created. And I don't understand how mithril comes into play other than Frodo's chain mail.

I wonder when they "reveal" Celeborn is alive.

The Elves need it to restore their tree, the that is dying and taking them with it.

Don't think about it. I have no Earthly idea why they even created the silly mithril plotline. There's a hundred better ways to have the Dwarves and Elves become close.

took a dare and watched ep7, which made up for the first six

and as a lifelong fan, it's good to see joe walsh branching out

I’ve been really impressed with both the LOR and GOT spin-offs. I was hoping that at least one of them would be worth my time.

ep7 was better. Still fanfic, but at least they're making an effort to make Galadriel a sympathetic character. She actually had expressions other than anger, contempt or contemptuous anger.

So, there was a lot in that episode.

And ill comment on it after a rewatch.

This is speculation on the next part of the adaptation:

Next season we should get Ar-Pharazôn taking advantage of the weakened position of Míriel to force a marriage of convience.

Im not sure if they will go the direction of his military capture of and corruption by Sauron. If they do, itll probably be season 3 before we get the fall of Númenor.

As it is they could skip that since he already seems corrupted, and covetous of eternal life.

Either way itll enentually lead to his intense persecution of the faithful, his attempted assault on Valinor, and the fall of


I know they keep pointing us in the direction of the stranger being Gandalf

follow your nose

however I dont think so. I think Alatar.

This is one of the many conflicting notes I have seen.

At some point in the Second Age, around the forging of the Rings of Power, Alatar and Pallando were chosen to become the first of the Istari, and were sent to the east of Middle-earth to stir up rebellion against Sauron and assist the few tribes of Men who had refused to worship Morgoth in the First Age.

Of course ive also seen Alatar, Curumo, and Olórin listed as the first three with Aiwendil and Pallando being brought along after the fact... or Olórin being unseen or in the guise of an elf while only much later appearing as Gandalf, while Alatar, Curumo, and Pallando traveled east, with only Curumo returning.
