Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)

The usually but not always reliable Fellowship of Fans claims to have confirmation that there will be "two different Sauron character forms" in S2, indicating ROP will be utilizing Sauron's shapeshifting abilities.

Re: Media previews

My objection to the "uncorrupted" NΓΊmenΓ³rean view of death is not the idea that it's permissible to end one's life at a time of one's own choosing,[1] but rather the idea that it is wrong not to do this. This attitude is evident in the editorializing by the in-universe authors of the legen...

Re: Media previews

I'm gonna regret touching this one again, but... In order to grasp the distinction between Aragorn’s acceptance of death and the suicides that arise elsewhere in Tolkien’s work, we must remember that in writing about the good NΓΊmenΓ³rean kings Tolkien is writing about part-elven people granted a spec...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

Thanks, Rose! I tend to be wary of leaderboards because I know I have a strong competitive streak, but I don't really like having one, so I try to keep it leashed most of the time. But Squaredle didn't require creating an account to see where you rank on the leaderboard, so I gave in to temptation. ...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

At a certain point in the puzzles, I'm not sure if it's a percentage or how it works, various hints are added, like how many words remain which start with a certain letter. Eventually, after you've gained enough points and if you check the box, it will give you the first letter of each word & t...

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions

Thanks, Rose! :) I honestly wasn't sure if the word you mention was a real word, either, but it did come to mind rather than being a total shot in the dark based on trying to combine the remaining letters, so I assume I've heard it before, even if I couldn't remember the meaning.

Doing my (formerly) usual word games for the first time in ages and I'm very out of practice.

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)

Yeah, I don't really see CiarΓ‘n Hinds playing an Elf, though I'm perhaps overly influenced by knowing him mostly through his roles in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Maybe Galadriel will revisit the Far North and meet the Forodwaith and their Mance Rayder-type leader or something. :P

Re: The all too early Season Two thread (possible spoilers)

Some on the internet have speculated that the existence of the monument, as well as the other allusions to the character, could mean that a FΓ«anor flashback is on the way for the second season. This seems like a bit of a stretch without any evidence other than the presence of a statue. ROP S1 had a...
