- Filming for season 2 starts in october and will take one year to complete
- The new season will be directed by a all female director line up
- Cirdan will be joining S2
- Showrunners describe the current TV landscape as "peak bleak". They think storytelling is too safe these days.
- Writer of the article has seen the first two episode and said its a sweeping epic that wears it heart on its sleeve. Almost the antithesis to GOT. "there's a radical sincerity and moral clarity to The Lord of the Rings that may resonate with today's beleaguered viewers".

Kind of odd that season 2 hasn't started filming yet, although that sort of makes sense as they are switching to England from NZ.Time Magazine wrote a big on piece on ROP.

That would make the most sense. Not sure what else it would be besides just a random fortress of Morgoth.Is Galadriel pointing at Utumno?

Nooo they bumped their premiere time to midnight EST! Guess I've had it too good watching The Boys at 9pm these past couple years :/

Maybe wishful thinking but I'm hoping they still come out at 9 pm. The Boys always advertised Friday as the release date but they actually came out Thursday evenings.
fingers crossed! Still better than Netflix's 3am drops I guess

I was not able to grab any tickets for the early screening in theaters next Wednesday. The event sold out fast. 😬
Peeps who exclusively watched the Peter Jackson movies are gonna be confused by this version of Elrond lol. Seems more true to Tolkiens texts which describes him as "kind as summer".
"kind as summer"

Yeah, but it makes sense in PJs version. He's pretty young in this where as in the third age he's seem some shit. lol.
I hope they lean into Elrond feeling enormous pressure to live up to his lineage. His brother founded the greatest human kingdom ever and his dad flies a Silmaril through space every night. That is some expectations.
so I am pretty sure we are going to see Galadriel go from the Warrior queen we see in this show to the regal queen we see in LOTR.
So my joke is we are going to go From YAAASSSS QUEEEEENNNNN to "Yes, my queen"

Gil Galad clip. I have to say, the non edited clips they released are really encouraging. Noticed Gil is crying when he said his final line.

Some reactions from the screening of the first two episodes last night:
Pre-release hype, grain of salt etc.
Pre-release hype, grain of salt etc.
Mae govannen everyone. Been a while hasn't it.
Came across this interview with the showrunners and it's very insightful. The following about the genesis of the meteor man concept especially caught my eye.
"And in the book, there's this wonderful prologue concerning Hobbits, where he talks about the ancient history of hobbits when they were these other predecessors, proto-hobbits, and then their wandering days. And out of those seeds, a whole culture sprang. And the idea of a halfling who maybe wasn't quite like the halflings we met in the Third Age stories with a being landing in their backyard, more or less, from the sky, that was always one of the earliest ideas that really stuck to us and felt very Tolkienian. He's all about the stars and beings transforming into stars. And Bilbo singing about the man in the moon, and so there was all this stuff in the stew and that stuff has grown and evolved."

Whoever he is (Eärendil, Tilion, Olorin, Alatar and Pallando have all been speculated), his slow reveal in the show will be something to look forward throughout the seasons, or the first season even.
Thank you. We're entering uncharted territory with this series, and there is no other community I'd rather go on this journey with.
