Gutted is a bit much. Stop being such a drama queen. The written work was never that consistent to begin with. 

I loved it as well. The so-called purists who criticize the show remind me of people who claim the Bible is inerrant and literally true, overlooking all of the contradictions in the source material. The Silmarillion alone is rather uneven, but you would never know it to hear from some of these self-appointed experts.…

We could just as easily make a list of all of the things in the Silmarillion that make no sense or are unexplained.

I mean, sure, it worked for BSG. Twice. /s

These type of people don’t need a Bible - they just “know” what God really means. Theology and actual context would just get in the way of their lust for power.

No matter the genre, the music business is just rotten to the core.

Counterpoint - it did work and i am ROTFLMAO!

Hey, he could make a biopic about Josh Duggar, and that would check all of the boxes.

Everyone is a dog on the internet. And anyone can make up stupid shit to defend their racism. Hit dogs yelp.

Those better be WHITE dragons! /s

Except Rotten Tomatoes says you are full of crap. Feel free to fuck off, trumpkin.

Only a hit dog yelps.

How trumpian to make up fictitious majorities. Remember - the hit dog yelps.

Ismael Cruz Córdova is somehow managing to convince me for a few minutes each week that he is a warrior elf, something no other actor has managed to do. I can’t quite explain it; there’s just something about his bearing and demeanor that makes me think yep, that’s what a warrior elf would do. 

Counterpoint - it is quite good, and you are no fucking Roger Ebert. 

It’s fucking make-believe, numb-nuts. People like you are oblivious to worshiping “source material” because it is purely white, your lame-ass attempt at a distraction by playing Really Bad Analogy notwithstanding.

I loved Wu in this show. She is incredibly talented. The tweet thing came off as odd at the time, but I think this puts it all in perspective. But hey, that is just one opinion...

I am fascinated by the use of accents in the show for different groups - Irish for the Harfoots, Scottish for the Dwarves, Western for the Southern Men. I am curious what guidance the actors were given - especially any reasoning behind the choices. Also - what accents are the Numenorans and Elves assigned - I am not…

Commenting on a decade old thread may be pointless, and I may be in the greys, but FWIW ...

The other foot is dropping loudly from the incrementalist fetus-fetishists. This crowd started with “we are against abortions unless rape, incest, or the life of the mother is at risk.” The first two have rapidly disappeared over the past year as these clowns have argued, “well, it’s not the innocent child’s [sic -…
