Maybe one could make a mini series on the Sil, it might not get much ratings since there are definately not as many Tolkien readers as Orli fans, but I think it would be interesting, The Sil has a lot more "action" you might put it, but I think remembering the names, and lineage would just get too confusing, you can get confused by even reading it.

Yeah, it's the kind of thing you definitely have to read multiple times before really understanding it. The first time through I was bored with a lot of it but just kept pressing on, and then through rereading it I've found it to be a great read and not *that* hard to understand. The names still get me sometimes, though... darnit, why do they all have to have names that sound alike??
As for the Orli fans... maybe we could offer good ol' Orli a minor role... one of Feanor's sons that no one remembers, for example. Maybe Amras.
Seriously, though, if he was in it, it would spoil it for the "real" fans because then all the rabid fangirls would come and be all, "Oh mY gOd I liEk Am SuCh A tOlKeEn FaN i hAvE sEen tHe SiLrIoN (tHaT's wHaT iTs CaLlEd, RiTe?) aNd OrLaNdO bLoOm WaS liEk sOoO hOtT! OMG i Am sUcH a GeEk fOr LiEkInG tHiS bUt OrLi iS mAh BaBi..." and so on and so forth. (How do people type like that, nonstop?? It takes forever!)
