Well until the Odyssey comes out!

Congrats to the fat girl!

Voted MSR cause Carrack has won in the past. Disclaimer: I have both. :glorious:

Howard Shore is Canadian though. 😎 🇨🇦

Yes. The soundtrack is excellent. Bear McCreary had big shoes to fill as Howard Shore isn’t exactly an easy act to follow. Thankfully he knocked it out of the park. Then again the signs of his talent were always there. The soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica and Outlander absolutely rock.

MMmmm. I hope they'll do what they did for Witcher 3. 3 great expansions.

House of the Dragon has much leaner, tighter storytelling than the original GOT. Due to their decision to follow only a handful of characters, the show for me ‘flowed’ better. GOT on the other ping ponged back and forth between a dozen major characters in half a dozen locations and it felt messy...

Also....House of Dragon is far far far better. Episode 3 of the show...holy shiznnits. HBO is currently winning the battle of Epic Fantasy TV shows. They're no contest kicking the shit out of Amazon Prime at the moment.

$497,103,073 last I checked. Prepare for the Kotaku articles!

In a way we, the audience have only ourselves to blame. We're all so obsessed with existing properties/franchises that we're reluctant to give new IPs a chance. There's a reason the big studios/networks pump out generic 'insert Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Harry Potter' movies. It's because they're...

I'm quite sure the Carrack will make it to the semi-finals at the very least. Surprised the 890J isn't on the list.

I think you're preaching to the choir. Like I said, Tolkien's a product of his age and even then he was far better educated than the typical Englishman of his time. I actually agree with you (I think). I'm a bit peeved about folks who go off about Rings of Power being 'Woke' due to casting...

Yeah the dwarves were great. As far as the other characters go, I kinda like this show’s take on Elrond. More scholar/diplomat/herald than warrior….at least at this point of his life. Galadriel on the other hand has been absolutely annoying.

Well I have a Carrack and nary a 400i in sight so Carrack it is!

Carrack is Love, Carrack is Life.

Race is one of those subjects that the Tolkienverse can't seem to shake. There were certainly darker skinned people in that World (Haradrim and the Easterlings) but they were the villains. Meanwhile the good guys were almost always 'fair and tall' (Elves, Dúnedain, etc). I don't think Tolkien...

Well it's typical 'Heroes Journey' stuff. I think they took a look at the Silmarillion and said...."It's boring, let's do our own shit" to well....mixed results. I'm willing to watch a couple more episodes because I'm a fan of the franchise and because I have colleagues who worked on it...

Yeah I'll give it a punt since I'm a fan of both the books and the original movies but yeah....the writing and pacing is kinda all over the place.

So...err anybody watched this yet? Definitely deviates from whatever source material but gosh are the production values top notch. Tis an expensive production.

You can't own Stormwals or Jumpgates! That's impossible, Sir! This guy's a phony!
