I'm not particularly shocked about it, but it does make one wonder about the longevity of the show.

View original postAnd who do we meet but the young man Isildur. The eponymous rings have yet to be forged, yet Isildur is alive. Apparently we are compressing nearly 2,000 years of Second Age history into the lifetime of one Númenorean.
Even if they were always going to speed things up, you'd think they would have planned for multiple seasons, with the first one indeed set hundreds or thousands of years earlier - though of course that means only their Elven characters could carry over into later seasons. Which is probably why they didn't do that...
I guess there aren't too many major obstacles to lumping everything together like that, though. They'll just have the Rings working quite rapidly, while Elendil and Isildur are establishing Arnor and Gondor.
So we finally get to Númenor in episode 3

I will in all probability do exactly what I did with Amazon’s WOT show.

This was inevitable, and not one of the changes I mind

The rights to the Silmarillion, i.e. First Age, aren't available.

If it's good, maybe I should watch it

Yeah, you probably shouldn't watch it for any kind of storytelling pointers.

Yeah - it's a big first hurdle, but you won't get anywhere until you start climbing it... *NM*
