An episode nearly two years in the making...only because we never came back to give our opinions about the entire first season of The Rings of Power.

Silly hobbits! Wacky Wizards! Even some star-crossed vibes for our favorite horse-boy! Still, it feels like something is missing. We analyze the first on-screen depiction of Tom Bombadil and worry about the fact that we are already halfway through Season 2.

A bit of a moan-and-groan episode, but to be fair, it doesn't meet any of our rubric expectations so...

We're finally getting into some major plot points this season...at episode 5/8. We discuss the progress in Eregion, problems with time compression in Númenor, and some weirdness around Sauron's seductions.

Sorry for the wait, we know you all didn't know what to even make of the final episodes without our witticisms to instruct your opinions /s In truth, we recorded this an entire week ago and just kept forgetting to upload it. That's a pretty good indicator of how we felt about these final three episodes, as well as the movement of the show all together. Hint: not great.

In the future, we are planning to go back to what we love - analyzing the writing of Tolkien, so we can do something other than whinge. We'll keep an eye on adaptations as well as they come.
