In "Of the Sindar", Tolkien returns to the OTHER elves: the ones who never left Middle-earth for Valinor. These elves created the fairest dwelling that has ever been east of the sea, worked with the Dwarves, and shielded themselves from Morgoth. Join Jonathan, Michael, and Dan as they once again test their Tolkien aptitude with "All that is gold does not glitter", and take a brief look back two decades to how media regarded fandom (never using the word "toxic"). 🎉 BECOME A PATRON ► https://www.theonering.com/patron ——————————————————--- Window on the West - Episode 13 ——————————————————--- October 2001 Wired Article ► https://www.wired.com/2001/10/lotr/ —————————————————— 🎧 Subscribe to our Podcast —————————————————— Apple ► https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/window-on-the-west/id1625960455 Google ► https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RjYXN0bWlycm9yLmNvbS93b3R3 —————————————————— 🔎 If You Like Tolkien —————————————————— The Silmarillion ► https://amzn.to/3a7wE0k The Atlas of Middle-earth ► https://amzn.to/3lzsIIf The Letters of J.R.R.

The WISEST Elves (before The Rings of Power) | Of The Sindar | Episode 13

There's less to dislike in this episode--but that's probably because the harfoots are nowhere to be found! However, we do get a LOT of leg from Disa, more insta-travel, and a complete abandonment time as a universal constant.

Join Jonathan as he watches The Rings of Power, Episode 4, "The Great Wave" for the first time, and offers his off-the-cuff reactions! Despite the clear inspiration this episode takes from Assassin's Creed, there's surprisingly more to like than previous episodes--but maybe that's just because everyone forgot about the Harfoots (as they should)...

Jonathan, Michael, and Dan review episode 3 of The Rings of Power, "Adar". While Galadriel experiences the extreme slow-motion courtesies of Númenor, the Harfoots story continues to earnestly go nowhere (with a terrifying tradition revealed!), and Arondir digs and chops and jumps his way into ALMOST meeting Adar.

The more we watch the show, the clearer it is that all the details don't matter to The Rings of Power. Jonathan, Michael, and Dan discuss Episode 2 and Galadriel's "I'm fine" face (😂), Encino Man and the Harfoots, the made up Morgoth story, and how real dwarves don't cry.

Jonathan and Michael dive into a deeper discussion of Episode 1 of The Rings of Power, "A Shadow of the Past". They look at how much of Tolkien's work is in the show, if the show is standing up to the excellence Tolkien's work demands, and where the show channels its inner Michael Scott :).

Jonathan watches episode 1 of The Rings of Power for the first time! What an experience! Stunning... ly mediocre. Tolkien's work deserves excellence -- this was anything but that. Sure, it was pretty, and the soundtrack is first-rate, but the writing, the acting, and the action is just painful!
