LOTRon Prime Trailer!

February 16, 2022      Leave a Comment

Greetings! So as many of you will know, there was a Lord of the Rings Trailer from Amazon that came out during the Super Bowl. We not only have this coming up, but the War of the Rohirrim coming up in 2024 - which will still be a couple more years but not a very long time. So in the beginning, in my opinion the caption was a little bit overdone in fantasy.  “Have you ever wondered…what else is out there?” “There’s wonders in this world…beyond our wandering.” I mean, in ...

LOTRonPrime Vanity Fair Analysis!

February 13, 2022      2 Comments

On February 10, Vanity Fair released an article with a countdown so fans were all awaiting and speculating anticipating what’s going to come with the Amazon LOTRonPrime Series. After it finally acquires a name, and the 23 posters were released earlier in the week, (earlier this week at time of posting) we are starting to know more about the series.  Yes, not EVERYTHING yet of course.  But now we know that it’s not based on the Silmarillion, but more so based on the Appendices in ...

The 2 lamps of the Valar: What is the Significance?

February 9, 2022      1 Comment

There are two lamps of the Valar. They are Illuin and Ormal. They were brought on and built by Aulë at the prayer of Yavanna, in order to light Middle-earth - built along the encircling seas. This need for light was expressed after the Valar entered Middle-earth, subduing the fires of Melkor. Lamps of the Valar - Etymology While it was unclear where the name Illuin came from, it was claimed by Paul Strack that it came from the terms Il- 'sky' and -luin 'blue.' The name meant 'blue ...

Is Lord of the Rings Christian?

February 2, 2022      1 Comment

Apparently there's an article on Medium that's been going around saying that Lord of the Rings isn't Christian. Also, when I was in a TheOneRing.net group, I posted a photo I liked and out of (seemingly to me) nowhere someone tried to argue the same thing. I responded by saying that yes, Lord of the Rings is Christian, but his works are definitely not limited to people who share the Christian belief. Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, though it has been thought of in terms that he was ...

NoME Section 1: Time and Ageing

January 26, 2022      3 Comments

Greetings! We are underway in the Nature of Middle-earth Book Discussion, discussing Section I: Time and Ageing. It's interesting how it's said "time and ageing" (which my computer autocorrects to 'aging' unless I persist, as the latter seems to be the correct American term). I wonder if it's an intentional form on Tolkien's part, to add the 'e' in 'aging,' or not. After all, as I was reading the letters, I noticed he'd preferred to spell the plural form of "dwarf," a species in his ...

LOTRon Prime Finally Has a Name!

January 19, 2022      Leave a Comment

The wait is over...finally we have LOTRon Prime coming along. Especially since we've been talking about this for years now - at least they're taking a step forward! We are now seeing positive progress on this. When will LOTRon Prime be released? It is supposed to be out on September 2, 2022 on Amazon Prime Video. I had some concerns, but I hope it turns out well - and based on what I've seen here so far, I think it sounds like it will. Are you excited for LOTRon ...
