[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8760521, member: 4348"] As per your statement, those who could quote the Silmarilion...which...if anyone could...they could. And, as per your statement, you said those who could quote it were not the target audience. Just rephrasing to see if I understood your meaning well enough. (though the later portion of what I stated is something that has been tossed about in regard to Tolkien (both of them) and their thoughts pertaining to film or TV portrayals of Middle Earth writings, which means someone already asked them about that portion or they shared it without being asked already). PS: Just to be clear, I don't have an opinion on the show itself currently. I haven't watched any of it so I don't know what to think of it. I think I am an adequate fan of LotR ideas and fiction, but probably not as big as most of those who have jumped onto watching it already. I have the ability, just haven't taken the time to watch it. This isn't a critique of the show, just an observation regarding the statements about it. It's not in bad company, the younger Tolkien (Christopher) didn't think much about the LotR or Hobbit Movies either from what I've heard, nor felt it caputured the literature all that well. Other younger members of the family (or at least one, I think their name is...Jacob?) were at least somewhat enthused by the movies, or at least the LotR movies. Christopher Tolkien seemed to also have a quote or two regarding his father's thoughts on these items as well, or at least from that perspective before his Father's death. I find it interesting though that your statement, in relation to what I've read about the Tolkien's thoughts (both Father and Son and their writings) say in regards to film media portraying Middle Earth, and thus probably a good indication what their thoughts would be pertaining to the show, and suprisingly, that it may be a good representation of what they would feel about it when you take into consideration how they felt about more faithful adaptations of the Middle Earth works. Personally I really enjoy the LotR AND the Hobbit Trilogies, speaking for myself. I haven't seen the TV show though, so no idea if I would like it or not. [/QUOTE]
