Well, I've finally watched the first episode of RoP. They've been kicking off these seasons at a bad time of year for me to watch things, but there's also a solid layer of "meh, I'll get to it when I... |

Thanks! I've now had more of them as a Downer than I accumulated before I joined, so I'm starting to get close to my Númenórean age of majority. I feel quite old this year. |
