Anyone following the spoiler chats on the TORN Discord?

I adore this little glimpse into Elrond and Durin’s friendship. I don’t know. Just really enjoying these actors so far.

Burn baby burn. Disco Noldorin.

She’d look taller with short hair.

I don't know anything about this Star Wars show. Are you just referring to the coincidence of the name, or do they genuinely make a reference to The Land of Gift? Just the name (as an aside, it’s a precursor to Rogue One, and it looks phenomenal). As for coincidences, I don’t think it is, as one of...

I get the same feeling. Even if I hate it (assuming that I see it). I think my main fear was that the story conceit just wouldn’t…work. And that the world wouldn’t come across as believable. And now that this seems to not be the case, I can relax. I sincerely like most of what I’ve seen, and have g...

I've seen a couple of raving twitter reports. Of course, that is almost always the case, but I have little doubt that the show will be raging success. Perhaps, but it’s not always the case that seasoned entertainment reporters rave about a show. And we’re getting that. I get the distinct feeling th...

Anyone else find it interesting that two new shows will include Númenor in them in September: Rings of Power and Star Wars’s “Andor”?

Or Jar-Jar.

Those Ewoks sure did chop down a lot of trees on Endor, though. Burárum!

By the way, a former Hollywood Reporter editor saw the first two episodes of RoP and declared that it’s going to be huge. He liked what he saw and thinks it will absolutely compete with the House of the Dragon show. https://www.reddit.com/r/LOTR_on_Prime/comments/wqza3u/former_hollywood_reporter_edi...

Baby Entings are the new Baby Yoda.

If you compare that map to the "famous map of Mordor" closely, you can see that it is quite different. That's a little too smarmy, even for a snob like you. ;) It's Mordor, and that's the Sea of Rhun. Differences in detail, in a map, are a completely different thing than major geographica...

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed every win. It’s just that I only needed 2004.

Or…if you’re not above it, borrowing someone’s Prime account once a week?

Just sayin'.

True. But all I needed was the one World Series win in 2004. They could have become the worst team in history after that, and it wouldn’t have mattered. I could finally rest my mind after so many years of heartbreak and masochism.

I grew up as a Red Sox fan in the 80s and 90s, so I get that.

In this case, however, I think it’s almost certain the Southlands are in Mordor.

I don't think you can count on anything being necessarily true to what Tolkien wrote. That is not to say that there won't be things that are, but there will also things that will not be, including geographcial features. It occurs to me that actually it is likely that in some ways the show will beco...

The room for doubt is that they are moving things around to suit their own purposes. Until I hear it stated "this is Mordor" I will not be convinced, either way. Huh? I haven't heard of major geographic landmarks being moved around willy-nilly. And there's absolutely no way they are going...
