The main issue I have with Rings is that so many of the story lines leave me indifferent. I really only care about Galadriel's story and to a slightly lesser degree Arondir and Bronwyn. The rest are pretty underwhelming up to this point. Unless the revelation of the Stranger's identity makes the Harfoots story a lot more interesting.

I don't really like it so far. I hope it improves. I loved the original show (until the final season and a half kind of ruined it a bit). So far House of the Dragon hasn't gotten close to even average Game of Thrones episodes for me. Let alone some of the better/best ones.

I like Rings better than House of the Dragon so far. House of the Dragon is like the most boring version of Game of Thrones. Imagine Game of Thrones but none of the fun/funny characters are there. So no Tyrion, Bronn, Pod, Jaime, Tormund, ... And then make it another ten percent more boring. The cast is also pretty forgettable, other than Paddy Considine (who does do a good job playing Viserys). I don't get how this could have happened. GRRM is closely involved and he does have a sense of humor. Certainly his main book series is a lot funnier than this stuff. I don't think casual fantasy fans (like those Game of Thrones attracted in droves) are going to keep on watching such a serious and dour affair. Not that I think Rings is a perfect show. It's also pretty flawed, but two episodes in it has kept my attention more than House of the Dragon.

It is canon that Galadriel single-handedly tears down Dol Guldur. Yet she is being called a Mary Sue for defeating a troll. They have changed he character from the books though, but not in terms of power level. Galadriel should be busy founding her own kingdom at this point in the time line (roughly speaking), not still chasing Sauron. But I guess they did this because they really wanted to have her as a character on the show.

Cute pair!

Nathalya Cabral and Lily Easton would be my contributions to the list.

She does have an amazing figure.

Shots fired! I EmRata.

Little Miss Dreamboat!

Some of the dumbest pop culture criticism I have ever heard/read came after the first two episodes of this dropped. I am talking about the accusation of Galadriel being a Mary Sue. Galadriel! In the originally trilogy, she is canonically the third most powerful character (after Sauron and Gandalf). Fourth at worst, depending on how you feel about Tom Bombadil (who is deemed by some as the most powerful being in Middle Earth because of how easily he resists the One Ring's powers but he plays no active role in the events of those books so it's rather moot as a point). Calling Galadriel a Mary Sue is showing your entire ass and proving you have zero familiarity with the source text. Also if you want to argue she's too overpowered for an elf, I guess you should take that up with Tolkien himself.

@Cult Icon Do you know her? Her content is 100% cheesecake. She does have amazing legs though.

So is Dioni back or is it just a one-time thing? Valerie's message seems to suggest she is just doing this one shoot.

She has nice legs. Unfortunately any close-up of her face reveals that she had a lot of facial work done already for a 22-year old.

Nordstream 1 down indefinitely. Bad for Europe. But with some context. Flow had already diminished to 20% of its capacity. So that last 1/5 will hurt, but it's not as if they were still pumping it in huge quantities to Europe.

Think I found her Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/katerina999cs/

Who is this?

On that note, didn't she also briefly date Baywatch co-star Jon Bass. After Rodgers but I guess before she met her husband.

@Cult Icon BTW, had no idea until your post that Kelly had married one of the Walton family heirs. These girls don't miss when they go husband-hunting. 😛

Cami had her step dad to launch her acting career. Al Pacino is acting royalty! Gisele I think was already a well-paid model even when they just started dating. Bar's career definitely deflated after her relationship with Leo ended. She also settled down with her older beau not that much longer, IIRC.

Dreamboat!

Longer. They were still using story lines from the books - and from some pre-published chapters of the next book - in the penultimate season.

Still has to convince me it'll be anywhere near as good as GoT.
