Re: White Council and topics they discussed
I'm unaware of any Tolkien-authored summary of the White Council's subjects of discussion. Maybe there's one in HoMe VI–VIII, which I'm least familiar with, but I kinda doubt it. Tolkien never fleshed out the full membership of the White Council, nor did he clarify the relationship between the counc...

Re: Revisiting Rings
This was already done long ago, right? As a fan-made thing? Edit: Yes, and WB is evidently taking aggressive take-down action against it. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/lord-of-the-rings-gollum-movie-youtube-b2543004.html I'm glad they've restored the fan film , but I'm...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
It's hard for me to muster much enthusiasm about more ROP right now—which, granted, has as much to do with stuff going on for me IRL as it does my feelings about S1—but I'm glad they're at least not turning Sauron's new disguise into yet another mystery box. :V Not having followed offseason news, I'...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
Thanks, Rose! I figured it was time for another of my intermittent appearances. :) I took a crack at Hurdle today, but I was trying to play on the "you must take into account every clue so far" mode, and I ran out of guesses trying to variants of words ending in... –ILLY ...and it made me ...

Re: Middle-earth [formerly LotR] in New Media
I quite like it, though the hobbits are perhaps a bit Hildebrant-y. One of the few takes I've seen that actually depicts a balrog as wrapped in shadow and "of man-shape, maybe" rather than as some sort of clearly-visible horned demon. Same; it's very rare that I see a depiction of Balrogs...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
Part of me feels foolish for discounting any ROP rumors for seeming too stupid and/or out there, but a bigger part of me doesn't understand why people on TORn('s Discord) consider it a serious possibility that Amazon will devote one-eighth of the season (one of only forty precious episodes to cover ...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
Did they ever release it on DVD? Not yet, and they might not ever since Amazon's business objective for ROP is reportedly to build their credibility as a streaming service, but it's possible there will be a DVD release in the future. If it follows the model of Amazon's The Boys , the DVD/Blu-ray re...

Heh, I started playing Hurdle 'cause of you and Frelga, and it's one of my favorites, so I was wondering if anyone else still plays. :) That's weird about the adblock thing.

I got a notification email about that a couple days ago, yeah.
