Re: Episode 5 (Spoilers, including discussion of the preview)
Well, we watched it late as my friend was visiting at the weekend and hadn't seen any of the episodes yet. I mean, the utter nonsense with the mithril/Silmaril needing to save the Elves - everyone has said everything I think about it. Three ships taking maybe 90 people and about 30 horses (I'm being...

Re: The Stranger of Udûn? - New Info and the Identity of Meteor Man
I read the spoiler and if that's the case, I will be upset, because it seems a bit obvious. But then again, after episode 5, I have little faith in the writers now!

Re: The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
I did not watch any of the three funeral ceremonies (or however many were broadcast). And during the minute's silence, I was actually telling my daughter off for somersaulting on the sofa. :D Regarding The Queue, I think it was more due to the fact that it was the Queen rather than the monarchy. I c...

Re: The Stranger of Udûn? - New Info and the Identity of Meteor Man
I'm inclined to think that Sauron hasn't made an appearance yet on screen. Celebrimbor and the forge - my thoughts were that he, like Aulë, just wants to create for the sake of creation. Having said that, I think it's a bit too early to say how they are writing in Sauron's influence. The contraction...

Re: The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
I don't know. For the past year or so, she'd been cancelling quite a few appearances. "Mobility issues" had always been cited as the reason, and certainly over the past year she'd been a lot frailer. I must say that I was not surprised. When they announced that she was resting and was comf...

Re: Episode 4 (Spoilers)
Well, I wasn't quite so keen on this episode. The Númenor storyline seemed very slow to me, although I did like the premonitions. I really like the Elrond and Durin storyline. I can't believe that Elrond would betray Durin, particularly since he swore in his father's name. I suspect that Celebrimbor...

Re: The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
Rose, that's really awful luck that your daughter's itinerary follows the Queen so closely! As far as I can tell, everything is open as normal up until Monday 19th when literally everything is shut apart from some stores along the funeral route (seriously, important medical appointments have been ca...

Re: Episode 3 (Spoilers)
I must say that I enjoyed episode three a lot more than I did the other two (although I did like the Elrond/Durin scenes). I loved the look of Númenor, although it did feel too grand to me. There seemed to be a clash between the grandeur of the wide shots of the overall city, and then the scenes at ...

Re: Middle-earth [formerly LotR] in New Media
I have actually run a session or two of the 5th Edition LOTR stuff. It's very low magic and very different form normal 5th Ed D & D. Some of the books have stats for major characters, such as Elrond and the Witch-King. While they are level 20 they wouldn't, I think, trouble a 10th Level normal ...

Re: The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
It has, indeed, Voronwë. Life got very busy, so I don't have as much time online as I used to. But it's nice that this place is still here for those of us wanderers to return to.

Re: The Passing of Queen Elizabeth II
All the strikes have been called off as a mark of respect, so Rose, your daughter shouldn't have much trouble travelling on the trains, at least. I think everything is basically carrying on as normal. Sports matches were cancelled for a day, but are now going ahead. As Aravar said, it's basically bu...
