The entire first season of The Rings of Power has been released. Because I did an initial reaction show to the first two episodes with Dr. Sørina Higgins, I thought it would be fun to have her back. Joining her is Dr. Charlie Starr to reflect on The Rings of Power now that the premier season has ended. About the first thirty minutes are spoiler free, as more general issues like the problem or challenge of adaptation are addressed. As before, comparing and contrasting The Rings of Power as a TV show vs. a Tolkien adaptation is explored.
