I'm finding it hard to keep track of who & where everyone is
Definitely a problem: I didn't realize that Bronwyn & Arondir were in what later becomes Mordor!
My sister insists that I watch the show with her so I can hit pause and explain things for her. Her fiance fell asleep 10 minutes into Ep 1. :D
I didn't realize that Bronwyn & Arondir were in what later becomes Mordor!
I sort of assumed that based on context clues (definitely something very evil in the groundwater or whatever!) but yeah, I could really use a Second-to-Third Age translation guide.

Was it? That didn't occur to me. I thought it was Rhûn, or perhaps Dorwinion.
ETA: Whooops! Looks like you were right. Ep. 3 gave us a nice pan of the map.
Finally saw eps 2 & 3 of RoP; liked them more. Definitely more AU -- for instance, Elendil has a daughter (of which I thoroughly approve!). I like the weird responses to Galadriel in Numenor, although frankly as an Eldar, she should look way less bedraggled. That's the whole point of being from Valinor, isn't it?
I liked both Miriel and Disa, as well. Didn't love the weird rock contest with Durin, but I did appreciate the explanation for his anger at Elrond. That made a lot of sense.
Still struggling with the short hair on the male Elves. WTF, this looks ridiculous.
LotR: TRoP
I wonder whether Eärien will end up being the primary architect for Gondor.
ooh, that's a cool idea, dcp!

I didn't realize how much I wanted this. I'm actually more excited for this than any of the upcoming Marvel or Star Wars stuff (though Tales of the Jedi with pre-Sith Dooku looks interesting.)
SW: ANDOR is GOOD! Like, really good? Like, smartly written and well-acted and the plot doesn't so far have huge gaping holes? It leaves a lot of stuff unexplained for you to wonder about but not in an annoying JJ Abrams kind of way.
My one complaint is that there is a lot of mumbling and I had to use closed captions.
I finished League of Their Own and now I'm sad because I want more. Please send S2.
I'm one or two seasons back on GBBO, but I just have to say it somewhere: OMG, they sent Jurgen home! Whaaaaaaaaaat???!??!!!?
