Hindsight: very pretty, enjoyed the Elrond/dwarf relationship, really frustrated with the mangling of timeline and things just made up that go against elements published in the source material. Very expensive fanfic, basically. If I try not to think of it as Tolkien, it's fine fantasy.

What you mention. Plus: The Lord of the Rings: The Long Defeat; the history of the rise and fall of Arnor, war with the Witch King of Angmar, etc.

Oh absolutely, much to my chagrin. As well as a number of subsequent quotes by the Stranger and Galadriel (about his opposite).

Actually @MarkB has it correctly. Bilbo wrote it, Gandalf reused it in his letter. ---- Frodo felt Bilbo stir impatiently at his side. Evidently he was annoyed on his friend’s behalf. Standing suddenly up he burst out: All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The...

Celeborn dead? Or just missing/prisoner? Something doesn't track.

I'm not following how it was night in the village and simultaneously just beyond dawn for the Numenoreans riding in from the West. I'm thinking I preferred the Hobbit trilogy right about now.

Episode 5: What in the name of JRRT did I just watch? When did mithril become elven midichlorians?

Fair enough, thanks.

Curious why you say that. I have both (and admittedly haven't played TOR2) but really couldn't see what I considered significant differences. I though the occasional TOR2 streamlining looked pretty promising. For OP, either system is great -- heck I'd pick up the TOR starter box just for the...

Will Spelljam star Michael Jordan?

I'm in for Grogu, the droid, and Kowakian Lizard Monkeys.

Well, yeah, and I'm not loving that though I can sort of understand the producer/writer desire to introduce a cast early then have them remain the same through the whole series. I don't personally think that's necessary -- what better way to highlight the cultural differences between elves and...

Except that that idea is largely in violent disagreement with the source material; Rohan isn't founded until much later in the Third Age and the House of Eorl comes from the northern end of the Anduin. If this Halbrand guy takes his people north in the end it aligns, but the Rohirrim did not...

We must be cautious.

Ah, Nutkinland. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Can we point, too? I find it really enhances the laughing.

My condolences to the people of Great Britain and the Commonwealth. It's the end of an era. Best wishes for King Charles III.

Random thought ... I can improve this series with the removal of one letter: House of the Dagon.
