ZeroHour Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 2 hours ago, Hatebox said: Go on then, if I thought the first season was a flaming dumpster is there anything to enjoy this time around? The show’s Reddit is a circkejerk just like it was last time so that’s no help. If you didn't like the first season, I don't think there's anything in these first three episodes of season 2 that's likely to change your mind. It all still looks really expensive, so that's nice I suppose, but it's often glacially paced and the plot too often requires characters to make dumb decisions to keep the plot moving. The stuff in Lindon and Numenor are particularly a chore to sit through. The dwarves are kind of fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Viewership looking like a solid drop off from Season 1 https://deadline.com/2024/09/lord-of-the-rings-rings-of-power-season-2-premiere-viewership-samba-1236077869/ cannot see this getting the full five seasons. I think they will do one more season to wrap everything up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will do one more season to wrap everything up Conceptually I buy it but Samba's been significantly off in the past (e.g. Mando S3). This is the rare time I suspect I'm going to search out luminate's data to see how it matches up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 And now e have world Warners want to blow up the Hunt for Gollum movie to two movies. Tele will get this if nobody else does, but I want to apologize for poking fun at the purists on the One Ring website back in 2001 when they predicted what would happen. They were right about seeing the works to Tolkine reduced to just another pop franchsie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontofan Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 be honest a lot of these new tv shows suffer from the main issue of ignoring the story focus on visuals and characters morality to be good or strictly evil. I watched a show called Vikings and every character on that show acts bad and good and they dont shy away at all from showing how the Viking era was like. Even though main characters did horrible things the show got you invested in the characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDerby Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Great last 2 episodes. A wonderful world they're building, and they're even starting to make me care about the worst storyline, the men. Dwarves still on top, Elves running 2nd, Hobbits 3rd, Men 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Variety and Hollywood Reporter confirms the ratings have sunk compared to Season 1 'Rings of Power' Drops, 'Perfect Couple' Leads Luminate Ratings (variety.com) 'The Rings of Power' Season 2 Ratings Are High, Yet Down (hollywoodreporter.com) And they think they can keep this going for three more seasons until 2030 or so? This show is basically just Amazon burning money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I think this season has been fine so far, but the structure and setup for some stuff just feels off. I'd be cool with more Dwarf stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
