This week we dive right in and get deep into Ungoliant, what she does, who she might be, and how even Morgoth fears her.
If you don't like Amazon's Rings of Power... well, Amazon's got the exact recipe to be sure that you'll end up LOVING it!
One particular quote from the Rings of Power showrunners has been really bothering me this week: a quote that shows just how much they're not being honest with us.
As we dive further into Fēanor's story and the Silmarils, Dan realizes that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This week, Jonathan quizzes Dan and Michael on some important numbers, Dan sees similarities between the two big characters, Jonathan realizes Melkor was a nice guy, and Michael takes a deeper look at Fëanor's fire.

Quote of the Day
With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed, and turned to fight, belching black vapours to cover her; and fleeing from the north she went down into Beleriand, and dwelt beneath Ered Gorgoroth, in that dark valley that was after called Nan Durgotheb, the Valley of Dreadful Death, because of the horror she bred there. For other foul creatures of spider form had dwelt there since the days of the delving of Angband, and she mated with them, and devoured them; and even after Ungoliant herself departed, and went whither she would into the forgotten south of the world, her offspring abode there and wove their hideous webs. Of the fate of Ungoliant, no tale tells. Yet some have said that she ended long ago, when in her uttermost famine she devoured herself at last.
