I would have (all but) KILLLLLEEEDDD to see episodes of this in the theatre. I've seen all the movies in it. Repeatedly. Anytime Alamo Drafthouse returns them. I want my Rings on a big screen someday, toon.

My utter favorite thing to watch right after each new episode, and then sometimes successively later, too. I love NotR, and he does hella deep dives that pet my canonical heart and soul so much. #TROPRewatch

How am I even supposed to live with this????? Either of them???? How do I wait 7 more days for more of all three of them?????

(I feel like this rewatch is going to be a test of my patience vs. my fixation, too.) #TROPRewatch

"What's he saying to them?" / "I don't speak firefly."

This is a domino invention (of the best kind, mind you). Peter Jackson invented the talking to the moth part, which was believably Tolkienian, and then Rings added this, too & I love. #TROPRewatch

(P.S.S. In the book its Radagast & Gwaihar.)

This woman is, also, A GODDESS.
No other opinions needed.

Had the chance to run. Pushed through utter terror. Without A Sound. Fought & protected her child. (And from there went to demand that her people step up.) In my universe, she never dies.

"I have pursued this foe since before the first sunrise bloodied the sky."

1. Such dramatic hyperbole, my love.

2. Sauron over there, like, ( ~squint~ .... so you're still a baby, then, comparatively?)

Someday, we may have to sit and talk about that one, too. Because I have a lot of feelings about the Show Writer's Choice and them making one extra non-canon switch-up in the events of 2.01 that made this more believable.

Sighting #1 of the crest of The King of The Southlands.

(I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS, AND THE TIMELINE, AND THE MILLENNIA BEFORE THIS, AND THE SILMARILLION LULL PRE-RE-FALL.)

God. I fell in love with this trio SO HARD in this scene. Especially when Durin tells him to sit down, and he's still (#justifably) angry/hurt, and both his wife & Elrond get these ABSOLUTELY FOND expressions about it.

It's so clear how much they know him & love him for just who he is. #TROPRewatch

Also, I've always loved someone putting it like this and sliding in the reference that Narvi & Celebrimbor, perhaps, both had reasons to incorporate beautiful elven trees. Both The Two & this one.
February 22, 2025 at 3:24 AM
—and how much it says HE CARED FOREVER HAPPY OR HURT, refusing to let it fail, even if Elrond might never return. (Given it's been DECADES for Durin, that he's felt each passing, and while the kids aren't this old, the tree is.)

"Planted it. Raised it up. Tends it like it's our third child." #TROPRewatch

My heart ACHES SO MUCH at this. Because of the lengths, you'd have to go through to make one of these trees bloom underground and how rare they are to begin with—

Disa is trying SO HARD

Throwing frowns and still Deeply in Love
February 22, 2025 at 3:19 AM
DISA. MY LADY. SUDDEN BRICK WALL HUG. #TROPRewatch

(I LOVE HER SO SO SO SO SO MUCH, TOO. HONESTLY, THE BEST MARRIED COUPLE & PARENTS & SOON-TO-BE-RULING-COUPLE SET ON THE THING SO FAR.)
February 22, 2025 at 3:17 AM
THIS BOY. THIS BOY. WITH HIS SUDDEN UNDERSTANDING AND DEEP SORROW FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW MUCH HE HAS HURT HIS FRIEND. #TROPRewatch

The ever-present constant reminder he is still a boy with puppy eyes, and he's still so, so, so very young, and has so, so, so very far to go (/fall/grow).
February 22, 2025 at 3:14 AM
The MiddleEarthAlong finished rereading Fellowship of the Ring this month, so this is still loud in my head. AND IT'S SO FITTING HERE, TOO. #TROPRewatch

This reminder of how they are—but also a reminder to Elrond what he can't let simply "slip by" if he chooses family/kin among those races, too.
February 22, 2025 at 3:12 AM
"Twenty years may be the blink of an eye to an elf. But I've lived an entire life in that time." || I appreciate this SO MUCH. Setting out this difference, reminding us the Immortal/First Born/Elves don't feel time passing in same way as the far more mortal races. #TROPRewatch

BOYS. HERE. IT. COMES.

THIS LITTLE DWARF AND HIS BIG HURT HEART.
