The Rings Of Power - Here We Go Again

Somehow the Rings of Power returned

Tolkien rolling in his grave could be used as a new type of green energy

I bet Rings of Power is the sole reason Amazon started putting commercials in their movies and tv shows. They are subsidizing their failures.

All i heard in response to "do you know why ships float and stones do not" was John Cleese saying "b-because they're...made of...wood?"

You ever notice how these networks renew shows that nobody liked, while cancelling shows people do like?

I hope Henry Cavill knows how much mileage we as a society are getting out of his delivery of the word "fuck"

"Do you know why a ship floats, and a stone cannot?" asked Finrod. "Because a ship is less dense than water and a stone is not?" Galadriel ventured. "Uhh... I... I didn't mean literally," Finrod stammered, clearly floundering for a more profound answer. Galadriel tilted her head quizzically. "Then no... I don't know." "Well, you see," Finrod continued, trying to recover, "a ship floats because it seeks the light, whereas a stone sinks because it embraces the darkness." Galadriel's brow furrowed. "Seeks the light? How can a ship seek anything?" "No, no, it's like... the ship's heart is lifted by hope, while the stone... um... is weighed down by despair," Finrod said, desperately trying to salvage the metaphor. "A ship has a heart? And a stone feels despair?" Galadriel asked, her confusion deepening. "Not literally! It's a metaphor!" Finrod exclaimed, feeling the conversation veering off course. "It's about the spirit of the ship versus the stone." Galadriel blinked, still trying to follow. "How do a heap of wood and a rock have spirits? Aren't they just being tossed around by physics?" "It's a metaphor! Why is this so hard for you to grasp?" Finrod snapped, frustration creeping into his voice. "The ship represents aspiration and the stone represents stagnation!" Galadriel blinked again. "Ahh... uhhh... okay." Finrod's eyes narrowed. "You don't actually understand, do you?" Galadriel sighed. "Well... probably not. I mean, I understand the idea that a ship 'seeks' light and a stone 'seeks' darkness if I try to imagine them as characters or something... and I guess I'd rather be the ship in that case. So the moral is that I should... ummm... seek light instead of darkness? Or something?" An awkward silence hung between them as Finrod realized his metaphor had conveyed nothing of value. He shifted uncomfortably, searching for something to say. "Yes," he muttered finally. "Seek light instead of darkness. Exactly." Galadriel nodded slowly. "Right. Got it."

My favorite scene was when Galadriel withstood the male gaze of a goblin

"We have an all-female director staff this season." "How does that help us?" "Now when they tell us it sucks, we can just say they're sexist."

Galadriel: "There is an Imposter Among Us." Sauron with a blonde wig and pointy ears: "Oh no, what shall we do about it?"

The reason a stone sinks and boat floats is obviously due to the boat being made of wood, just the same as witches.

Cate Blanchett's performance really portrays the majesty of Galadriel.

One wig to rule them all. One wig to hide him. One wig to fool them all. And now they can not find him.

“NO HATE-WATCHING! NO. FUCKING. HATE-WATCHING!!!”

Ah, the modern entertainment industry. Where all 'creativity' is derived from checkboxes, percentages, value propositions, brand equity, quotas and focus groups. Truly inspired artistic enterprises.

I got goosebumps when Galadriel uttered "Set phasors to full!"

The numernorians saying elves took our jobs was and still is one of the dumbest epic scenes in history!

Everyone to Hobbit Movie Trilogy: "Perhaps we treated you too harshly."

Tolkien: "look at how they massacred my boy"

4.24 I was thinking "Ok, GaLADriel!" but then Drinker just nailed it.
