The thing is, *if* it was just a fantasy series and the names weren't Tolkien's all-star lineup, for me it would still be meh. As it is, it's the EU of Tolkien.

Lord, gimme strength. I've watched all the episodes of this show so far, and it's just a mess. The writing, the cliches (slow motion fighting! another king in exile!), whatever the hell Galadriel is doing, the piggy-wolves. Also, how did the producers spend eleventy-one zillion dollars on the show but it looks so much like a bad 80s fantasy flashback? Every time the Harfoots are on screen, aside from their being so ridiculously a stereotype of the big-trottin' Irish, I expect them to break into a chorus of "Safety Dance". I suspect my biggest issue is that I know too much Tolkien.

Q: How can you tell if a guy has a ticklish scrote? A: Give him a little test tickle.

So just finished watching the first episode. How can you take something about the resurgence of Evil and turn it into something so boring?

Did an admin just call out a member as "a piece of shit"? After posting a whole-ass thread about TOS? And making us agree to those TOS in order to log in? Hypocrite much?

Binge watched Heartstopper twice and ugly cried at least three times.

Yesterday, actually. Today it is raining. (Not uncommon, since this area in the NC mountains is actually a temperate rain forest.) Rainbow Falls

Whitewater Falls. Highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. Also a random tree in dense fog.

Fozzie, glad to hear things are looking better for you. Hugs to Ms. Spam.

If you don't have rage, existential funk, and depression right now, it's clearly because you have no damn clue what's going on. (Gestures around at pretty much everything.)

Krawlie is way smarter than he lets on, which is good. Tank is smart, and I admire him for making it in a notoriously difficult industry. Ms. Spam apparently has more fortitude than any ten other people put together. If the zombie apocalypse occurs, I want to be on Cerina's team. Jedigoat is the cool I wish I was. Who'd I miss?

Anyone else got a bad feeling about this? As Star Wars has shown us, spending zillions of dollars on a production doesn't necessarily make it any good. Hope I'm wrong, and I will be checking out the first episode.

I didn't want to be part of your creepy circle jerk anyway.

Don't forget the unique joy of being flat out called a c**t!
