We are seven hours in- that's the runtime of PJ's Fellowship and Two Towers. Viewers back then- casuals and even some Tolkien fans (not me) were by that point engaged, even enraptured. The world fell in love with Middle-earth, even if it was only Jackson's kindergarten version of it.

Seven hours into Game of Thrones Season 1, it was a phenomenon, water-cooler television.

Seven hours of Rings of Power and the world is collectively, "Is this ever going to get good?"
