S2E4: The Forest’s Grief

This week's poem is from Winterbloom's perspective, inspired by her words that forgiveness takes an age. It's about the grief of losing what took a long time to grow, and how healing cannot be rushed. 🌿

S2E3: A Debt to My Mother

Inspired by Isildur’s conversation with Estrid, this poem explores the guilt he carries over his mother’s sacrifice, and his belief that he must do something extraordinary to make the life she saved worthwhile.

Screenshot of the end credits, with the subtitles showing the line from the song playing which is: “And his boots are yellow…” This shows that they’re playing the song of Old Tom Bombadil, and that I don’t know how to post online given I’m trying to make an audio gag a visual one.

This is also great. Ents should be beautiful, but they are also kind of terrifying.

Soon, all of them.

This will never not be funny.

At least with this show being more diverse than other Rings media the black character won’t be the first to- Oh.

It’s still absolutely crazy that they decided to put him in the series. But I’m so glad that they did. And that they got Kinnear to do this. Even if his accent is terrible. (But then, what accent should the Eldest have..?)

I know I’ve said this before, but whilst that is a very nice, large set for the Stoor village, I’m never convinced it’s actually in the same location as the landscape it’s actually meant to be in. There’s a reason Ihey actually built Hobbiton on location for the films…

One day they’ll do Old Man Willow in the right place in one of these adaptations. But that is not this day…

Time for this week’s #TROPRewatch, and it’s time to think about visiting… er… well that’s not Britain. I wonder how many plates they’ve got saved for the rest of series…
