Oh I agree. Not pointing the finger at Jackson, just at studios that are willing to destroy IP for a possible quick buck. [Reply]
Does anyone else find themselves rooting for Sauron a bit in this? He’s evil as hell but has become a pretty well developed villain.
Also, I still don’t see much season to hate this show. The Harfoot/Stranger stuff always drags (and I think the showrunners have even recognized that in S2) but the Numenor and Sauron/Celebrimbor storylines work well. [Reply]

Either make it 15-20 episodes per season or give it to Peter Jackson and let him make a trilogy of it properly, one or the other, because this format isn't it. [Reply]
