And this is why we'll have Premiere Moot. Welcome one and all!

Meant to extend a hand to us and remind us that he'd also like to serve nitpickers of the canon.

PJ said in response to Stephen Colbert that he does plan to differentiate between the Sindar and the Nandor, and a fan theory I've seen is that Tauriel's ears mark her as a Nando. I must say I prefer the Sinda ears. Which might be the only thing ever where I'm on the Sindar's side.

Well, if you insert one or two of Fëanor's sons in most episodes, they should be able to tell it's still the same story.
