Re: Another "new" Tolkien book

Oh, Khorazir is a Tolkien artist (obv) but pretty sure they were on TORC back in the day. I follow their tumblr and they were doing a bunch of art for a new book coming out for the second age, I thought this might have been it.

The British system is confusing, but many believe this means the head of lettuce is in charge now.

Re: Episode 8 (Spoilers)

*Sob* yes, it's going to be a long two years. But we can always watch it again while Amazon lets us, and I'm sure they'll toss us a few crumbs now and then! Thanks, that sorts that out. Now all we have to do is work out who they're talking to...... :scratch: PS - don't spoil my fun - I had to work ...

Re: The Stranger of Udûn? - New Info and the Identity of Meteor Man

I'm leaning towards Gandalf for Meteor Man. After all its made pretty clear in the LotR that he was the only one of the Istari who was friendly with Hobbits. Also, as I said previously, he exhibits similar traits to Sauron, who was also a Fire Maia. That's true but I think given the location of whe...

Re: Episode 6 (Spoilers)

One aspect of Tolkien's writing I've truly come to appreciate later is that it is never stated to be some kind of true accounting of events or history - it's a translation of a translation of a copy of a translation of a copy of a translation of a history written within the context of the story itse...

Re: Episode 6 (Spoilers)

Wading back in with another observation made (not by me) Of The Rings of Power and the Third Age, there is a sentence about the War of the Last Alliance: All living things were divided in that day, and some of every kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save the Elves only.

Re: Discussion about the Discussion about RoP

I just don't understand why America (the homogenous people as opposed to individuals) feel that we in Europe have the same shared history of racism that americans do. We just don't. The concept of Whiteness was invented in Europe. The colonization of countries filled with non-white people was perpe...

Re: Episode 6 (Spoilers)

I far prefer the Orcs as people - with all the troubling implications that creates - but I also prefer Orcs as not corrupted Elves, which I believe even Tolkien backtracked on (or wanted to backtrack, but was stuck with a conundrum on his hands with what they actually were, then) I don't think it re...

Re: The Stranger of Udûn? - New Info and the Identity of Meteor Man

Character who falls out of the sky like a meteor, is a new Wizard character. Said character has a 'lush beard' and has lost his memory. Allegedly a wizard character, has trouble remembering things. Its implied that he may be Gandalf but its unclear. He meets hobbits (harfoots). Sounds more like the...
