Yeah. Imagine disconnect Elrond would feel if he showed up to visit a human King friend 30 years later only to find out that not only did he die of old age, but his son took over and died of old age, and now his friend's grandson is on the throne.
I have one of them. Never got beyond the first 30 pages or so. My sister has another, also largely unread.
That's okay. I've read mine multiple times and loaned it out to a few friends to read, so I got you two covered.
Isildur stole a fruit from the white tree of Numenor and used it to plant the white tree of Gondor. He was very much alive when Numenor fell.
You are correct, but he was born 1600 years after the rings were forged and Numenor sank right after he left. He still has no business being in this series.
The series will deal with the entire 2nd Age, including the fall of Sauron to the Last Alliance, so he very much has every bit of business being in the series.
Clearly it doesn't. It deals with a few years that apparently comprise the entirety of what happened over thousands of years in the 2nd age. At least if the time compression that the was quoted earlier is accurate.
If you are that rigidly adhered to canon, this show will disappoint you.
No, it's not. It's a TV show based on plot ideas from a novel.
News for you. It's ALL FALSE. It's called fiction. It's when people make stuff up in order to amuse themselves or other people.
That's more the realm of a high concept science fiction movie* or a single episode of Star Trek that a popular mainstream drama.
