The Rings of Power - S01E03 - Adar

David and John discuss Tolkien’s concept of “Canons of Literary Art'' and discuss how to measure if an adaptation runs true to its source. Then, they play a little catchup on some lore & context from Episodes 1 and 2 and answer a listener question before going in for a deep dive on the Island of Numenor!
