After shit-talking it in their House of the Dragon episode, Danny and Kevin discuss the two-part premiere of Amazon's The Rings of Power. While both agree that the show is not cheap-looking at all (like, at all, it looks gorgeous) only one enjoyed it and is looking forward to more. The other is a Negative Nori whose heart is as cold as Forodwaith. Is this show a worthy successor to the Peter Jackson trilogy? Is it a good adaptation of Tolkien's notoriously difficult-to-adapt ramblings When exactly in the bafflingly long timeline of Middle-Earth does this show take place? Where in this world is Carmen Sauron-diego? Is the gentleman in the meteor Gandalf? Spoilers, the gentleman in the meteor is almost certainly Gandalf. And spoilers, Gandalf is probably in this show. May a star shine upon your hearing of this episode.
