Well, I'm still impressed.

Paralimpics is the most metal stuff I've ever. I am in absolute awe of these athletes.
Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He’d take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they’d been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.

Wow. The irrepressible human spirit. It's sure coming from a more wholesome place than most politics, which seems to dominate everything.
My heart is forever in the Shire.

I saw that clip on Twitter and I was completely dumbfounded by it (in a good way).

Re: Good music and other good stuff on youtube and Facebook
Would they even bothered to have any female characters in the show? They did ask in the trailer, "will Arwen kiss Aragorn?" and they showed a busty unnamed person to keep your attention (possibly Galadriel) but that's about it.
I'm currently reading some "classic" sci fi and finding the total lack of females of substance to be increasingly irritating. And when I talk with others about it on a hard sci fi forum, most of the guys just don't get it. They were fine with the boys only club when they read the books in the 70s, and still fine with it now. /rant

That's one thing I LOVE about Rings of Power - Galadriel can kick ass better than most of the men, and is still beautiful. And Disa is another really powerful woman...
Then, there's the two little hobbits, Nori and Poppy, who show courage and compassion to the Stranger - two other strong female characters!

When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.
