I was in Sainsburys on Friday doing my weekend shop when I happened upon a magazine that gave my heart a squeeze of delight. Empire film magazine was featuring an article with photos on the Rings of Power series. The temptation was too great. I succumbed and I choose the copy with the dwarves on the cover.... The Dwarven King and Queen look regal and rich. Then in Costa, with my latte, I enjoyed the read and poured over the attractive photos. I was intrigued to see how they handled the hobbits. Not bad but nothing about their story. The elves in Lindon looked great even with their short hair. Celebrimbor was not how I imagined him. On the whole I am interested to see how this second age series goes. Hopefully there will be a trailer soon.
Now the sad part for me... I had to wipe a few tears from my eyes as I sat there drinking my coffee. Memories came flooding back. I was reminded of the fun I had many years ago anticipating Jackson’s films and the wonderful time we had on these boards. I hope we can make some more good times together when the tv series begins this September.
