Drinker's Chasers - The Rings Of Boredom

I know Galadriel survives, but at this point I kinda hope she doesn't.

Amazon: Turns the Orcs White and the Hobbits Black. Also Amazon: Makes the Orcs efficient and cries over there dead, whilst the Hobbits leave their weak behind to die and confiscate all there belongings.

I appreciate your sacrifice, guys. You watch it so I don't have to.

I 'm starting to see Saroun as a maligned and misunderstood reformer who's really trying to make Middle Earth a better place. The orcs show more compassion for there own kind than the harfoots. The dark elf shows more signs of empathy and likeability than Galadriel. Yeah I am beginning to root for Team Sauron.

Liv Tyler on Arwen: "You don’t have to put a sword in her hands to make her strong." I was recently watching the Two Towers extras and stumbled on the “From Book to Script” segment where they talk about how they realized they didn’t need to make Arwen fight. Liv Tyler specifically says, “I went right back into the book and into the appendix and what we came to realize was that you don’t have to put a sword in her hands to make her strong. And where we’ve come to now is all these true elements of who Arwen is. I mean this is an incredibly powerful and fearless woman filled with so much hope and belief, and that is strong enough.”

Love how about 5ish hours into the First Jackson Trilogy we had Ents on the March to Isengard, Frodo and Sam meeting Faramir and the battle of Helms Deep in full swing. Rings of Power? Some talking, some walking and 4 horrible action scenes.

I wonder if there'll be a season devoted to Shelob's early years as a kind and compassionate giant spider and show her tragic descent into maddened violence as a result of her oppression by the Patriarchy.

They are actually actively going against Tolkien’s lore now. The Elves needing mithril in order not to fade? What the hell? The Elves have to dwell on Eä till the end - it’s their “thing”.

Love that scene where Sauron threatened Elrond with “I have an army” and Elrond said “We have a Galadriel” while his Mark VII mithril armor was being crafted.

In Breaking Bad, the "I am the one who knocks" scene was powerful because it revealed how malicious and corrupt Walt had become. In Guyladriel's tempest scene, the writers actually want us to admire her for being an emotionally unstable psychopath.

The Jackson movie characters seemed to all have a sense of nobility, loyalty, integrity, or majesty. I've yet to see that in the new series.

She speaks telepathically to (and can read the minds of) elves, dwarves, men and hobbits. She's seven feet tall (or 6'5" depending on what conversion you believe) and she LITERALLY glows in the dark (her hair shines so brightly that it inspires Feanor to make the silmarils). When she raised up the power of Lothlorien, even Sauron and his forces were unable to enter the forest (presumably some sort of magical "barrier spell"). This is a character that needs to be "testosterstoned"? Im sorry, but warrior princess Xenophobriel is a wimpy little brat compared to the Galadriel I know and love.

Going to take a second to appreciate Critical Doggo holding a solid "play dead" pose for about thirteen minutes.

Reject modernity, embrace classics.

I started crying when Galadriel says “Say hello to my little friend!” and starts killing Sauron’s henchmen with an M16 and M203 grenade launcher. Truly one of the scenes of all time.

The most ridiculous thing with Galadriel & Halbrand is that in the actual lore, she was one of the only ones who recognized Sauron straightaway and rejected him. Yet, despite her perfection in this show, she can't see through him? WTF?

Tolkien's corpse oscillates at 5.5 GHz

It sure was nice that the Numenorians had a 3D printer to fab up Galadriel's armor before she got on the boat.

My favourite part is where Galadriel starts singing and dancing to the song Cuban Pete and all the police join in, dancing and singing along. Great scene

Now people have seen what she's seen and we can't be bothered.
