Dual citizen of Skyriver and Arda, exile of the House of Finrod, raised by the Original Trilogy, educated in Beleriand and Eriador, veteran of The Clone Wars, Bad Batch groupie, Adar's acolyte, Cassian's accomplice.

A lovely tribute to our beloved anti-hero, Adar. I hope Joseph Mawle and Sam Hazeldine see it, as they both deserve credit for giving this character the depth and dimension he deserves.

So many new shows to watch, so little time to do so (in my case), so many spoilers to avoid. 😒
My social media blackout will continue until I can get caught up on Andor and Tales of the Underworld.

I'm also rewatching #TheBadBatch again. It's at least the third time I've done so, but hubby is joining me for this one. It's actually his favorite Star Wars series, though he does like parts of The Clone Wars, too. It's nice to have company for one of these viewings, for a change.

Here we go! #TRoPrewatch, S2:E2 Where the Stars are Strange.

One of the things I love most in this series is its depiction of Khazad-Dum. They obviously put a lot of thought into how thousands of Dwarves would sustain themselves in an isolated, mountainous region. The gardens, and how they...

Sam Hazeldine really went all in as Adar. He didn’t need to go so hard, but gods are we all thankful that he did.

It’s such a brilliant performance.

That weird period of time where someone clearly not familiar with metric was generating height stats for characters and we ended up with a 5 foot tall Mon Mothma. This number still shows up. Let's not bring up the tiny Jaina.

Due to the political coup and lawlessness in Turkey ⚖️

Protesting against the government of Erdogan, Trump's best friend, Turkish youth held up a banner in Elvish in front of the courthouse 📢

The banner reads: “Though Sauron's hunters wait, the people will never surrender!” 👊

I've been looking forward to tonight's #TRoPrewatch (S2:E1 Elven Kings Under the Sky), the premiere of season two, and the first appearance by Sam Hazeldine as Adar. 🥰

Boy, the "graphic media" censors on this site have a low threshold: a bloody face is all it takes, apparently. 😒
To take my mind off reality, I've continued my Sam Hazeldine film festival this week by watching Riot on Redchurch Street & The War Below. The former is a bizarre film that I have no desire to see again, the latter a touching war movie that left me weeping (but I nonetheless watched again tonight).

These days, the "living with no money" applies to many professions, even some in which one is required to have a college degree in the natural sciences.

Someone shared this video in the feed of my other account, and I'm passing it along here because of its relevance to fandoms (Star Wars, Tolkien, etc.) and the malevolent forces that infiltrate them to create and widen divisions within these groups. Learn to recognize them!

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Getting a late start for this week's #TRoPRewatch, but at least it's still Friday. 🤷‍♀️
Alrighty then, here we go - S1:E8, Alloyed.
Seeing the Stranger in his drenched, ratty old - I'm not sure what to call what he's wearing - whatever, reminds me of something I've long thought of when I read Tolkien,

I'm typically not interested in "romantic relationship" movies, but being still in the throes of my Sam Hazeldine fixation, I watched Learning To Breathe this evening. I was expecting the typical love story with a sad ending. I wasn't expecting the whiplash between 💘😟💖🥺💕💔😢❤️‍🔥😭❤️‍🔥😭❤️‍🔥😭🫂😭😡😳😓. I'm exhausted.

At least there was ONE good announcement today.

I'm always thrilled to see new Clone Wars spin-offs. I cannot get enough of that era or animation style. I know I'll likely never get the full-length series I'm hoping for, but at least this is something.
On May 4, return to a galaxy outside the law.

See the trailer for Tales of the Underworld, arriving with six all-new Star Wars Original shorts only on Disney+.

Oh, you know he would. ❤️‍🔥

RIP Val Kilmer. 🥺
