Jen is back! Jen is back! We reconvene to rehash Season One and to grade how it fared as an adaptation. It's good to have the gang together.

Ciarán Hinds joins the cast of The Rings of Power, bringing with him hope for those of us who want the Stranger to be a Blue Wizard. But the Stranger wants to be good, whereas Hinds' Wizard appears to be anything but, foreshadowing a clash between the former friends. What version, or versions, of Tolkien's lore might Amazon be drawing from? Michael smells tragedy on the horizon.

Today I bring you the biggest scoop ever - I know how the The Rings of Power series will end, down to the last shot and the last line! This ending was shared with me by the highest authority of all, so today's ramblings are touched by the divine. Shoot me an email to let me know what you think!
FYI, eagle-eared listeners will notice that at the end of this episode I misquoted the text of Lord of the Rings in an embarrassing face-palm. Mea culpa. Y'all know what I meant.

Amazon goes three for three and hits another home run with it's final trailer for Season 2 of The Rings of Power. We get the sounds of Cirdan, a potential Adar and Galadriel team up, and Charles Edwards (Celebrimbor) showing us what acting is all about.
FYI, I accidentally didn't plug in my microphone, so the audio is a little lower quality than usual today, but there's no way I'm setting my brain on fire again to re-record my thoughts.
