Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
I'd say there are better uses for your money if you don't already have Prime, but for what it's worth I was one of the more ROP-critical people here as it was airing, so you might well feel differently.

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
And just like that we are back to discussion of hair lengths. Whether this is good casting or not remains to be seen. I'm not terribly familiar with the work of Gavi Singh Chera. Maybe someone here can enlighten me. I've never heard of him, though that means little since I'm even less informed abou...

Re: New Reversible Editions of HoME
Interesting! These look like really nice editions. :) I was wondering if the John Howe art for them would be new, but then I recognised the spine of The Book of Lost Tales, Part One as part of Howe's Morgoth's Forces before Gondolin . This has been previously used on the cover of some paperback edit...

Re: 49 Years On (Now 50)
Christopher is listed separately from the "Tolkien Copyright Trust" (which may or may not be the same thing as the Tolkien Trust, a registered charity in the UK) on the copyright page of many editions of The Silmarillion , UT , and HoMe , so I assume that he is indeed considered a co-autho...

Re: The 4K Release of Lord of the RIngs and The Hobbit
Apparently there will be the original trailer that was shown at Cannes and hasn't been seen since then. Someone on TORn recently posted a link to the Cannes preview reel, which I hadn't seen before. I really enjoyed watching it and noticing the little differences from (what I recall of) the finishe...

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)
Hey, it's a tradition now for the first installment of a major Tolkien adaptation to feature a personality-deficient Elvish character whose name begins with Celeb-.It would also be great if Celebrimbor's personality was actually developed (like actually giving him one).

Re: The Shadow of the Past - Gandalf's knowledge
So from 2851, when the White Council met, and Saruman revealed the information about the gems, it was 150 years until Gandalf recalled those words again. He didn't recall them until Bilbo's long life started to raise suspicions in 3001. In fact, from the White Council in 2851 until Bilbo comes back...

Re: The Shadow of the Past - Gandalf's knowledge
Per Appendix B, the Wise began to fear the master of Dol Guldur was Sauron as early as III.2060 and Gandalf confirmed this was the case in III.2850, about ninety years before the White Council assaulted Dol Guldur and Sauron fled.

Re: Another "new" Tolkien book
Hi, V! :wave: I usually cite the Letters by letter number, not page number, so I definitely hope that they don't redo everything. I've wondered before if they might distinguish them by appending letters to the original numbers—e.g., an addition that dates to between Letter 101 and Letter 102 might b...

Re: The Shadow of the Past - Gandalf's knowledge
Hi, Halifirien, welcome to HoF! :) I'm afraid I don't have an explanation for you. I'd actually forgotten about Gandalf's comment in chapter I.2 that Bilbo's ring was clearly a Great Ring—I suppose I'd been infected by the brainworm that is the "lesser ring theory" you mention. In my defen...

Re: Another "new" Tolkien book
Glad you liked it, Al! Likewise, I'm glad you enjoyed it, Al. So does it have a continuous narrative with no gaps? (I may have asked this before, but I can't remember) There are separate chapters (which vary wildly in length) for every year of the Second Age that has an entry in the timeline found ...
