They've got the vibe right, which is all that matters to me. Feels like middle earth.

I'm a casual in the lore, I have the silmarillion but i use it to just look up shit in the movies while theyre namedropping stuff i dont know the context of. So I can't really vouch for how well they've kept everything intact, but it seems solid from my light knowledge.

But, yeah, it's got the vibe and if you like the way middle earth feels then I recommend the show.

Was not expecting to like it, but here we are

      Who is organised by the screen actors guild, and their job is more as an advocate for the actors, making sure they are actually informed about the detailss and actually consenting to any intimate scenes sexual or otherwise, rather than tell them how to do sex scenes.

      So they’re the people stepping in to tell writers and directors their scene is fucked up rather than suggesting fucked up scenes. I imagine those headlines were the media misunderstanding (or intentionally distorting) that now very common jobs role.

      When the banker trust fund failson directors of Gambo were drooling over a contract-coerced actress and her actually-real-and-not-acting visible distress during a sexually violent scene she didn't anticipate but had to do anyway, it would have been nice to have such a coordinator. Or better yet, for those failsons to be made to take a long walk off a short pier.
