So, after all, it is just a "glorified fan fiction" show, expanding little bits and pieces of narrative, not really an adaptation?
That destroys what little interest I had. All this will serve to do is perpetuate the cloying atmosphere of misunderstanding and misinformation surrounding Professor Tolkien's work - this one man's lifelong labour of love - in the public consciousness.
Of course, it's not being made for people like me. I'm sure it will please a certain kind of audience, however.
