There are still several cast members without a known role yet (at least looking on IMDB). So, I don't know if that's true or not, I guess we'll find out soon enough. I would guess Cirdan would have...

I've had a Prime account since before this was happening and regardless if I continue watching the series or not, I'm keeping my account. Anyway, I think a separate thread to discuss the episodes...

The comments about this news were seriously disgraceful. Being passionate about the source material is no excuse.

Good spot. My best guesses would be a Noldor elf, perhaps from the House of Fingolfin. That would seem to make the most sense. So perhaps an item passed down to Gil-galad, and they figure a spear...

I’m not sure if they are too revealing, I can clearly see (or guess some of the characters)…Sauron, Isildur, Ar-Pharazon I’d place money on those characters. But don’t have a good idea on most of...

I'm excited to get some new blood in a Tolkien adaptation. I wish Del Toro would have been able to stick around for The Hobbit. And I never had any major gripes with the casting in either trilogy,...

You'd say I'm probably too intrigued that we may hopefully get a character, Sauron, in this series. I mean making the actual character, depicting his story and his "fall," not just a flaming eyeball....

For what it's worth, it wouldn't surprise me if the names Amazon has put out there are part of a false information campaign. It's fairly common for large projects such as this TV series to want to...

Oh I can't wait for all the self-titled "experts" (on both sides) to come out of the woodwork either for or against the series.

I'm not sure what we're all worried about, it's not like the AUJ didn't have nudity. At least if you count the Extended Edition of it. You can catch a long distance shot of some CGI dwarf butts for...
