Sepulchrave II
Legend
There's still a good chance that Sauron's captivity in Numenor will be portrayed - although I'm confident it will be bungled, like the rest of the show. (I've expressed my issues with RoP in other threads - at length, quite forthrightly and unapologetically - and alienated a number of posters in the processI'm only addressing rings of power. I think they screwed themselves with some of the liberties they took with the story. You don't pull stuff out of lost tales and the silmarillion to grab the geeks then mangle it. Like sauron not being captured and imprisoned by Numenor. The wonderful story we could have had. Of him corrupting first the jailors the the rulers then the nobility and.people of power before the fall could have been many episodes of HOD miserableness and great story telling but somebody decided to cut the greatest corruption story of middle earth into a simple he shows up and the island sinks. Add bad writing like Galadriel instead of refusing to leave Middle Earth decides to swim back.... Stick a fork in it it's done.

I found S1 of HotD to be enjoyable. The second season kind of ... disintegrated, and I felt the final episode was verging on incoherent. I'm willing to give S3 a shot when it comes out, as I haven't abandoned all hope. (I'm not really much of a GRRM fan, as I find his style too drawn out and his sensibilities rather misanthropic; that said, I thought seasons 1-4 of the GoT adaptation were great).
