The Tom Bombadil song sung by Rufus Wainwright was pure magic. Overall, the soundtrack has been the best piece of the series in my opinion.

Bear McCreary has done a wonderful job bringing images...

I agree here...Isildur is probably one of the weakest parts of the show. It has nothing to do with the actor, but both Isildur and Theo's characters I just don't care about and are the most boring...

Going back to this for a moment...I'm pretty sure Halbrand/Sauron got captured to bait Adar into attacking Eregion. By telling Adar that Sauron is helping the Elves, it's going to start the war...

Middle-earth Misconceptions

I think the start of Season 2 was much better than Season 1. First 2 episodes, there was a better flow and they seem to be pushing the plot at a better pace. Instead of cramming all the reveals and...

Episode 3 is less engaging than Episodes 1 and 2, but there's definitely been a stronger start to Season 2 than Season 1.

Prosthetics and costumes have improved (Cirdan's hair puts all the other...

Orcs are a much bigger can of worms to open at the moment, so I'll leave that be for now. I'll just say that I agree. I don't think there's anything, within the canon, to support orcs were capable of...

Thanks BB, I'll try to come back with some more ideas later, but a note on Boromir.

I think the reason I've always been drawn to Boromir's story is his path follows both the Hero's Fall and the...

A Question

While I was scrolling through Middle-earth memes, a pretty random question popped into my head.

It's fair to say Tolkien didn't believe in "Absolute Evil" as nothing is evil to begin with and...

According to some of the Prime video extra features, "Nampat!" translates to "Death" in Black Speech. So, I suppose they were trying to draw the parallel to the Rohirrim's "Death!" charge?
