  Hey everyone — apologies for the long gap between videos. I was in hospital with myocarditis and it took longer than expected to get back on my feet. I'm doing well now and back to work. Thank you for being patient, and thanks for watching. This one was a labour of love and I think you'll enjoy it. Sauron in the Third Age is on the way.

  This is the missing piece of the Trilogy that Aragorn was such a fundamental part of. He went by many names but always for a singular purpose. Lord of the Rings is NOT a trilogy. They had to  release it in three volumes because producing a 900+ page book on it’s own was quite cost prohibitive. I absolutely adore this body of work. Especially Aragorn’s adventures!

  "History became legend, legend became myth, and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost."--- Thank you for this deep dive into the lore, I only hope that the film does it justice.

  Don't forget pity. It was pity that Thranduel's men let Gollum climb trees during their capture of him where he eventually escaped. Pity is a core element that permeates the entire story.

  Nothing will ever beat the original 3 films. Once you accept that, your life becomes much easier.<br><br>As John Cleese said: &quot;It&apos;s not the despair, I can take the despair. It&apos;s the hope I can&apos;t stand.&quot;

  It is 2026: I assume all new movies suck and all franchises get dragged into the dirt. I hope I am wrong... 😢😢

  If we&apos;re lucky this could be the Rogue One of the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies

  The only thing more impressive than the 3 movies were the novels. They are worth taking the time to read.

  Considering what Andy Serkis did with Animal Farm I wouldn&apos;t get too excited about him directing this.

  When I was a kid I&apos;d dream of the day when they had the technology to bring the story to life on the screan. They would always say &quot;we just can&apos;t do it, we dont have the technology&quot; Then I saw the trilogy come to life and remember thinking, they&apos;ve finally done it. Imagine how excited I was after that. Now Imagine how disappointed I get when I hear they&apos;re going to destroy a story I love for an audience that apparently doesn&apos;t exist
