"If ever there was a show that first needed to walk in order to fly (you fools), it was "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." Though far more enjoyable than the internet would have you believe, the debut season of the mega-budget Prime Video series struggled too often to define its approach to J.R.R. Tolkien's idiosyncratic lore. The same can't be said for the much-improved season 2, a darker and more villain-centric adventure that took the foundation laid by its previous eight episodes and carved out its own identity altogether. More so than any fantasy series this year (yes, even "House of the Dragon"), "The Rings of Power" truly came into its own.

For those willing to follow a modern twist on Tolkien canon, creators/showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay crafted a particularly thrilling — if radical — reinterpretation of the Second Age of Middle-earth. What if our greatest heroes in Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and Elrond (Robert Aramayo) showed a more human side over how to deal with the temptation of the rings? How about the centuries-long rivalry between Charlie Vickers' deceptive Sauron and Sam Hazeldine's fallen Elf Adar culminating in a three-episode siege on Eregion? And, through it all, that shapeshifting diva Annatar captured the hearts and minds of unsuspecting characters and viewers alike. I'm not condoning his season-long gaslighting of poor Celebrimbor (Charlie Edwards) ... but I get it"

Nice as hell to see the show being praised 🤗

It's official, "Rings of Power" is going to have Tom Bombadil and Vanity Fair got the first look photos and interview with his actor Rory Kinnear and the writers!!! 😀 I'm really happy about this as Rory is a great actor and I've been a fan of his since he played Frankenstein's monster in "Penny Dreadful", and to finally have a version of Tom on-screen. There are spoilers in the article too that The Stranger, Nori, and Poppy (she did end up going with them after all) meet him in Rhun. It turns out Tom knew The Stranger was coming and has been waiting for his arrival and to help him to discover his path ahead. The writers are saying this storyline is more lighthearted compared to the darker storylines with Sauron, Adar, and the others. And they've stayed true to how Tom was in the book, including the poems Tolkien wrote about Tom which are getting a brand new book edition in August too. Nice finally getting more about these storylines as this was the one we had the fewest leaks about, and I'm excited to see how this plays out.
