    They couldn’t get the rights to the Silmarillion sadly. The only canon resources they’re allowed to use are the appendices at the end of LOTR. I think they’re doing a fantastic job with such limited material. The last two episodes are awesome.

      From what I’ve read no, that has expanded some since the first season. In season 2 they literally said the word Silmaril in one scene.

      How on earth do you cope with the last 2 episodes being awesome? Each one is rising action to a battle that has no climax, they built and built to nothing. And then…

      Elrond falls in love and kisses Galadriel…the MOTHER of the woman he eventually married…

        Haha yeah I was laughing at that and explained it to my wife. I just really enjoyed it, I don’t know what to say.
