Apparently they are casting with people comfortable with nudity, and purists are raging. Much ado about nothing. Everybody knows that Tolkien characters are smooth down there like Barbie dolls.

What's crazy is that title sequence was done without CGI, using legit macro photography techniques.
If that's any indication of how seriously they're taking the series, we should be in good hands.

I'm a pretty big tolkien nerd, but I dont have much context for anything in that trailer.

Wait, are you confusing me for an even bigger Tolkien nerd?
I mean, trailer pretty...

So, like, when does this take place again? Before Sauron's first rise to power?

Although that trailer has a lot of Silmarillion imagery, so it looks like they will be dipping into First Age stories. I saw the two trees, the Noldor crossing the ice fields, and some of those Elvish locations seem like they may be from the old cities.

There's going to be a lot of LOTR and GOT memes. They're doing the same thing, kind of.

Now this is where a group of scoundrels steal the plans to Mordor, right?

You had one chance Amazon. Only 6 episodes and 4 more seasons to go. This may go down as the most catastrophic failure of all time. So it begins.

First ep was pretty good - don't see the cause for so much concern just yet.

I enjoyed the first two episodes and I'm not sure why people are ringing the alarm bells when clearly we've gotten a lot of set up so far. The show looks fantastic and it's got plenty of spectacle so far. A little silly in parts but I'm definitely going to be watching every week.
