Rings of Power Ep. 3 Review: No Problems Fixed, More Added
Episode 3 of The Rings of Power introduces us to Numenor and more plot lines, leaves out Elrond altogether, still gives us no progress with the Harfoots, and fails to improve on many of the issues I noted in the first two episodes. But to make matters worse, writing inconsistencies have multiplied to the point of being a serious annoyance.

Hopes and Concerns for Amazon’s Rings of Power Before the Premiere
I’m about to see the first two episodes of Rings of Power in theaters as part of Amazon’s fan screening event, so I thought I would drop some of my thoughts to see how the show measures up afterwards.

The Worst Tolkien Adaptation That Never Got Made: John Boorman’s Lord of the Rings Script, Pt. 1
One of the members of my new Discord server (see invite link below) shared with me what may be the worst denigration of Tolkien’s magnum opus ever to nearly reach a wide audience. John Boorman (famous for directing Excalibur) got a script together for a movie adaptation of The Lord of the Rings which is so terrible and so lore-breaking that I have to address it in multiple videos! This first entry takes us through the Council of Elrond, if it can even be called that….
