Ah ok, we agree then, they're being cowardly writers and relying too heavily on Tolkien to do their work for them.

I'd be much more interested in one of two things: a wholly original story set during Aragorn's reign, or a movie about the war against Angmar, the long winter and Bullroarer Took. I think they're being lazy and uncreative.

Gotta be rights issues. The process of finding Gollum is probably the most robustly described chain of events that they have access to with a coherent narrative arc and not been shown on screen in any way.

That's the entire point? They established it, then never used it. Dayen is saying that Zohran plans to actively leverage his.
