[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 8699161, member: 23012"] I disagree. :) There are 5 seasons planned. Amazon could've devoted 2 seasons to the 1500-1700 period (covering the forging of the rings and the War of the Elves and Sauron). Given the long lifespans of dwarves and Númenoreans, there would be no need to "swap out" (for the most part) the mortal characters during those two seasons. They then could've devoted 2 or 3 seasons to the 3261-3441 period (covering the rise of Ar-Pharazôn, the downfall of Númenor, and the War of the Last Alliance against Sauron). Again, most of the mortal characters would be Númenoreans, Elendil and Isildur in particular, who would live throughout the entire period. So the series could've remained reasonably faithful to the established history, "swapping out" mortal characters only once. The main elf characters -- Galadriel, Gil-Galad, and Elrond -- would provide narrative continuity (as would Annatar/Sauron).
