It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 583 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 550 Views
Uh, nothing, I guess? They've made movies of everything they could, and way too soon for remakes. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 06:37:41 PM 364 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 529 Views

The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 579 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 544 Views
I didn't think it would end this way. / End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another Roland00 - 14/11/2017 06:49:38 PM 671 Views

I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 510 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 565 Views
Yeah, I see that now. Sloppy journalism. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:20:32 PM 534 Views
I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast random thoughts - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM 527 Views
Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 492 Views
there really isn't a scenario that doesn't have high a likelyhood of sucking random thoughts - 15/11/2017 03:14:46 AM 580 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 315 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 496 Views

Perhaps we can do a series about the EntWives The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:48:15 PM 526 Views
Also, if the network wants to go wild with Trump stand-ins they could do Numenor *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:44:58 PM 315 Views

I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 491 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 488 Views
I have no guilt. I'm done with guilt over what I do like and don't like! The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:12:50 PM 652 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 957 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 500 Views
Everything I hgave seen says a LOTR not a Hobbit prequel so I don't think you will get any first age random thoughts - 15/11/2017 02:42:50 PM 466 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 538 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 514 Views
It's not really a prequel if it was written before the thing it's a prequel to, is it? *NM* Tom - 17/11/2017 04:19:35 AM 350 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 521 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 513 Views
I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. Rebekah - 15/11/2017 03:33:46 PM 688 Views
Re: I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:36:57 PM 524 Views

Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 559 Views
