  1. To me with the right director and writer that would have been a perfect trilogy. Difficult, yes. Peter Jackson would have lost 8 years of his life but it would have been glorious. Consider it a distant prequel to the Hobbit NO cameos
  2. per Wiki The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are set during the Third Age of Middle-earth, while the First and Second Ages are explored in other Tolkien works such as The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth. Because Amazon only acquired the television rights to The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the writers had to identify all of the references to the Second Age in those books and create a story that bridged those passages. These are primarily in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings.[17] Tolkien's estate were prepared to veto any changes from his established narrative,[37] including anything that contradicted what Tolkien wrote in other works.[17] The writers were free to add characters or details,[37] and worked with the estate and Tolkien lore experts to ensure these were "Tolkienian".[17] They referenced letters that Tolkien wrote about his mythology for additional context on the setting and characters.[17][53] Simon Tolkien, a novelist and the grandson of J. R. R. Tolkien, consulted on the series and helped develop its story and character arcs. He is credited as a "series consultant".[54]
  3. They could have added a breath of fresh air by making a separate series from great story with the Blue Wizards. The men of the south turning corrupt would be another excellent story The Blue Wizards are an open book that they could have explored, and no one could bitch because there is so little written Dive into Tom and how he flirted but didn't completely involve himself with the affairs of middle Earth. don't try to cram everything into this series
  4. hate it. people don't realize that its what the storm carries over the storm winds . sad and hate it. Shits bringing me down and counter reacting the rum
  5. Why was he out? Why wasn't he immediately starting for home when the storm entered the gulf yesterday? Great that the dog was saved but if he risked shit for the "thrill", fuck him I retract everything if he was so far out he couldn't make it back in time
  6. 15 idiots. I live in Florida , I have seen the devastation. I have seen multiple people live in their cars, if that, after losing everything. I have seen shit go south quick
  7. just fucking stupid for clicks and views. They should be left if they get stranded or in an accident; If they die, they die. Dumbfucks
  8. I have the series slow and grinding. Sort of like a dungeon crawl game. The only way I am half enjoying the series is to disconnect with the books and treat it stand alone. Visuals and acting are good but waaay too many story lines and at times the pacing and storytelling is disjointed. Hate how Galadriel whispers and hisses her lines but enjoy her overall. Another pet peeve. I hate how they attempt to make the orcs sympathetic. Hate it. They are fucking evil like a sociopath or psychopath. They were corrupted and bent on destruction. Stop trying to humanize them I am sticking with it but think it should have been max 3 seasons about the rings. There are so many other stories they could flesh out Might get negged for this but they are trying to be "all inclusive " with the elves. Just seems out of place. Like a Norwegian indigenous Japanese. But whatever
  9. I was lucky to pull my money out in time. One of the adult kids left around $1400 in
  10. Any update? I heard there might be a "reconciliation" by Oct 18. no clue what the fuck that means
  11. Then one of those 7-1 teams has a chance to be the at large 8th team in the playoffs. Win the conference games and then win the conference. Leaves out anything to be pissed about.
  12. No polls until Oct No repeat games for conference championships. 7 highest rated conference champions and 1 at large. You want to bitch about being left out, win your conference. It also might stop conferences from growing to the ungodly number they have now. Conferences should be regional anyway (8teams). I also always liked the Cinderella stories from basketball, small schools just might upset some teams. Strongest conference would get 2 in. Top 4 conference winners get home games might not be perfect but it's my wish
  13. This 12 team playoff is dumb. We win the SEC , then we play another SEC team in the quarterfinals and then play another SEC in the semifinal and then play another SEC team in the championship game. So we could be undefeated playing a 2 or 3 loss team for the championship. From the same fucking conference that we just fucking won!!! dumb
  14. Thanks , missed that during the game. Macaé and Niteroi. Love the people and the culture. Took me awhile to get used to the hugging Adorei o tempo que passei no Brasil
  15. What did I miss ?? By the way, I fly out to Brazil on Sunday
  16. Haven't seen anything . Any other info?
  17. Neither of us are pro ethnic cleansing. What is your solution? A realistic solution?
  18. one of my favorite memes. I love memes and use them frequently BUT what do you dispute? What is your solution? How do you make or create a livable peaceful solution when two people hate each other?
  19. "Missing : The Lucie Blackman Case" Just sad and disturbing what humans can do to each other
  20. Texas 42 ULM 21 265 Close game for a half and then the Horns pull away
  21. Ugggh . Yes, I am old. Hate late games
