Re: Another "new" Tolkien book
The book came out yesterday here and I really want it, first of all for the pictures. I've collected books with Alan Lee illustrations since I first came across 'Faeries' in the 1980s. I was over the moon when I saw the first version of LotR with his work that came out for Tolkien's centenary. Sadly...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
The other possibility is that Galadriel does tell them and that Celebrimbor (and perhaps Gil-galad) refuses to believe her. That would be my preference. Yes, that's true. If he came back and she was there, I'm sure she would tell them. But I'd prefer to see Gil-galad hold out against Sauron. I'm st...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
I think the way is open for him to return because Galadriel didn't tell them who he was. So he could come back, being frightfully charming. Elrond and Galadriel wouldn't trust him but they may have left; Celebrimbor probably would. As for Sauron knowing about the other rings, if it's already happene...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
I agree that is a possibility, though perhaps it is wishful thinking on our part. ;) The implication in what we saw so far is that the Three were the only ones made, particularly with the (I thought fairly silly) talk about needing to make something small and round, like a crown for the "High ...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
I wonder if it's just that we haven't seen the making of the other rings yet. At least one of the interviews suggested that there were things they could have shown in the first series but decided to hold over for series 2; there are also suggestions that the second series will focus more on Sauron's...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
I haven't seen a link to this (sorry if I've missed one somewhere): https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/rings-of-power-finale-sauron-actor-interview-1235240895/ I'm intrigued by the explicit reference to "things that I adored reading in The Silmarillion that we’re going to see. Those r...

PS - comment above was responding to the last two on the page before - I keep forgetting to check for later posts.... And I am so relieved they didn't kiss!

Re: Episode 8 (Spoilers)
I think they're just picking up on the legends of a lost king/leader who will return when his people need him. We have loads of those which long pre-date Tolkien - Arthur, of course, various hills under which a lost king is said to sleep, even Drake's Drum is a version of the same thing. There isn't...

Re: Episode 8 (Spoilers)
I'm still thinking.... I found it really compelling while it was happening. Gil-galad seemed a little bit more like himself, so I have hope on that score - and I think they might forget about the tree now, because it's served its purpose. I didn't believe that Halbrand was Sauron until he turned up ...

Re: Episode 8 (Spoilers)
The creepy ladies can apparate - could this be a Wizarding World take-over? Gil-galad is my real regret with RoP so far. I keep finding myself singing 'Gil-galad was an elven king' from the BBC radio adaptation of LotR, and wishing RoP would remember he's one of the goodies (as opposed to the Goodie...

Re: Episode 8 (Spoilers)
*Sob* yes, it's going to be a long two years. But we can always watch it again while Amazon lets us, and I'm sure they'll toss us a few crumbs now and then! Thanks, that sorts that out. Now all we have to do is work out who they're talking to...... :scratch: PS - don't spoil my fun - I had to work o...
