If it's wildly successful, I fear it will be due to a
disconnection with what I consider the "spirit" of Tolkien's works.
What I get from these books I can find nowhere in contemporary culture, and with the current rush to dump everything older than ten years for the ideal of "progress", I am not at all hopeful the show would have anything for me to appreciate.
