Spockydog Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Hands up everyone who absolutely fucking hates this show, yet, despite this, will watch every minute of Season 2 only so they can come here to bitch and whine about how terrible it all is and how miserable the sacrilege that is This Fucking Show is making their day-to-day lives.

No. Apart from a complete reboot, I can see no way to salvage the show. The Sauron in Eregion storyline has been concluded in 30 minutes and Numenor's religious crisis has been boiled down to "Dey took 'er jerbs!". There is no coming back from this. The best the show could offer now is mindless spectacle. Cas Stark, Ser Scot A Ellison, Farerb and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't hate it, but was disappointed. And I like a good rant. It brings me joy, not misery.

Werthead Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 15 hours ago, Farerb said: Does the new cast make you hopeful for next season? Ciaran Hinds elevates everything he is in, but given the cast is pretty huge as it is, I can't imagine he'll have tons of screentime. So looking forwards to seeing more of him but I'm not sure the new cast can improve what we have now. They'd really need to start again from scratch for that and that is not happening.

Argonath Diver Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 You know who could have made an excellent, more Silmarillion-faithful Sauron? Ciaran Hinds. Prince of the North and IlyaP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I have a feeling he'll just play a young(ish) Saruman. After all, we already got Gandalf. Prince of the North 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 A horse died on the set of season 2 of cardiac failure. The tragedy occurred while the horse was being exercised prior to rehearsals. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/lord-of-the-rings-horse-dies-rings-of-power-1235360930/ Cas Stark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Spockydog has a point. Those of us that were truly put off by how awful that first season keep ranting about it and it's just beating a /logs out Corvinus85 and Spockydog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It's true a lot of people will be hate-watching the show, especially YouTubers who are basically monetizing its badness. But personally I've cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription and will not renew until Jennifer Salke gets fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I don't mind that people indulge in the practice of hatewatching. I don't understand it, but in the grand scheme of things, who gives a shit. But please can we have fewer occasions of these people butting into exchanges between fans of the show to tell them they are wrong. Seriously, those people can go and take a shit.

Darryk Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Maybe we need a rant-and-rave thread for Rings of Power. The one for Game of Thrones season 8 only went on for four years and 300 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Nah. A single thread is fine. This show isn't garnering anywhere near as much activity on here as GoT was to warrant separate threads. If people want to fawn over the show, let them. If people want to bitch and moan about the show, let them. If people want to bitch and moan about people bitching and moaning about the show, let them.

Heartofice Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Both fans of the show could probably take it to a private one on one conversation really if they don’t like the bad mouthing. Scott_N, Veltigar, Cas Stark and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
