I watched the first series, will catch up when it's finished.  I'm not that huge Tolkein purist, so did like S1.

Still on my list and excited about it, everyone I know who has seen it has been positive about it :d  The only negative things I heard about it were coming from people saying stuff like "this is woke!" and "that is woke!" and "too woke!!", so yeah, nothing that actually matters.

 

First some other things though. Just finished House of the Dragon's second season, which was fan-tas-tic :hyper: Now started with Breaking Bad and Chernobyl and waiting for From's 3rd season to be available.

I think it has the writing of a soap opera, plotlines does not make sense, characters have an average IQ near zero, full of internal inconsistencies, without any sense of scale, space and time. "Dinner time TV" that is more enjoyed watching it in the background, but with a wasted huge budget - some good showrunners could have made it a least on a Game of Thrones level series. The "Inside of episode" stuff is really comical when the showrunners and directors speak. Sadly it's the only "Middle-earth" series as of now.

 

Ah, I forgot: every few minutes there are callbacks to the movies + quotes straight up ripped from them but placed at random, like a sit-com.

Yeah, here season 1 is on Netflix, season 2 I had to download because I couldn't find it anywhere. So, same for season 3, but last time I checked only the Russian version was available yet :p

Faramir makes a good sumary about what is the series for me @Grassmarket @heywoodu, in some moments i thinked "this was made by somebody who dont know nothing about the middle earth history or directly hate all this".

The chapters are mostly boring, the inconsistencies are so big to dont find it, i really hate the "Gandalf/pre hobbit part and a big etc, at least the episode 7 of the second season has action.

 

P.S: @Faramir what is your opinion about the "kiss" in the last episode?

 

P.S: i am anti woke, i never "hide it" but the "wokism" of the serie is probably the last problem for me: i never like to have another 
"ethnicities" when tolkien only mention it for the man of the south and nobody else but still being a "detail". The problem for me with this conception is the concept of the orcs try to be complete "distorted" in this series, that attack something substantial of the  middle earth history and it canot be tolerated.

Which is why I'm not reading the books, ever (because obviously he is never going to finish that). No problem with the shows though.

    • writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy    earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis) now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)   this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians   but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)   for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate
    • NOC's qualified for the free dance (and eligible for earn Olympic quotas):    x3  x3  x2  x2  x2  x2   20 teams qualified but only 19 will earn quotas.
    • Maybe now the sport news and people here can do a little less celebration the next time a russian figure skater has their own disaster.Karma is a thing in sports too apparently,just had to get a bite in that a russian representing georgian had a disaster that opened the door for one of our own to the olympics.And now our main pair fall,whoops.
    • it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)   in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1    UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never   https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships
    • are my favorites for the time being.    could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows.     P.S. "Baller"  would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it  
    • Yes, correct. Anyway still not officially confirmed by our NOC though
    • They failed to qualify for the free dance by *0.01* points.
    • Massive upset by :LTU Ambruleviciud/Reed scoring 20 points less than usual after a fall and failing to qualify to Olympics. Massive blow and shock as they were basically almost guaranteed top10 
    • 64.83m from 16 YEAR OLD Ziyi Yan  for a new world junior javelin record.....which she already owned.
    • Technically, we have a few more confirmed quotas: Alpine Skiing - 2 Biathlon - 4 Cross-Country Skiing - 3
