“Halbrand of the Southlands, you will board my raft, and sail with me to Middle Earth to restore- no, hang on.”

The threat to Middle Earth grows. Anyway, this is just unrealistic. A dwarf with dark skin wouldn’t be able to survive underground because there’s so little light and they wouldn’t be able to produce enough- *is dragged away through the spikiest grass there is*

Forever grateful that this series isn’t produced by a (male) team with the same sensibilities as, say, Game of Thrones, otherwise Galadriel in a wet, white dress would have… been presented differently. It’s depressing that her less lecherous treatment here feels surprising…

Hello, tall, silhouetted and revealed with a lens flare - I like you already. Let’s hope you’re not someone else to thirst over.

Anyway, a good, second episode here. Much as I love the LotR films, one weakness is presenting Gimli as basically a one-note comic relief character. The Hobbit films go a way to redress this, but this series really gives the dwarves some depth (ha ha). And they do a very good job.

Waiting patiently for your take on S1E6

It’s striking but also refreshing 🙂

Counterpoint: A balrog wouldn’t be able to survive underground because it would burn off all the available oxygen and suffocate.

Yes, but you see, that’s magic fire, right, and that doesn’t work the same, because Balrogs are magic. I can buy that. But I draw the line at black people. (I am of course mocking, amongst too many other things, the stupid responses to the casting of the live action Little Mermaid.)

Yeah, in a less gently mocking fashion, fuck every single one of those guys.
