Cult Icon Posted August 7, 2022 Posted August 7, 2022 what do you guys think of Rings of Power? I am doing the 7th Tolkien book (unfinished tales). IMHO for all of Tolkien's merits and importance to the fantasy drama, his main shortfall is in creating deep characters outside of the excellent Hobbits. He is much better at world building/story structure than a character writer. GRRM and Sapkowski are modern authors and are both a lot better than him at writing great characters. I think there is potential for really talented people to energize the LOTR franchise with additions of their own, in particular in the area of character. Whether or not Amazon has accomplished this remains to be seen. Quote

Evan Rachel Wood was really attractive in Season 1 but ceased to be so in S2 for obvious reasons. part 1 and part 2 of this compilation was something I rewatched over and over again due to timeless wisdom and good acting. I also liked all the scenes with Harris, he is a badass. (153) Westworld scenes of Dr. Robert Ford (Part 1) - YouTube (153) Westworld scenes of Dr Robert Ford (Part 2) - YouTube Quote

Well I didn't see that one coming I can tell you that..maybe a little too much of a cliffhanger for me. Luckily all the other seasons are already available, can't wait to see what season 2 has to offer. Quote

Season 2 has an immense tonal shift, and what I've seen of S3 is that it is in an entirely different setting. S1 is the one I kept going back to. I also like history channel's Vikings show a lot.

Cult Icon Posted August 14, 2022 Posted August 14, 2022 The Dolores' change of heart was certainly abrupt as I recall. Same thing with Dr. Ford, I did not see something so extreme coming either. The show rewards a second viewing of Dr. Ford's scenes as his state of mind and intent become more clear. Season 2 will have some neat surprises that you will not see coming either. Quote
