It starts off a little slow, but gets better as it goes along.

That's been an issue with most new fantasy shows that have these HUGE worlds and plots.  I just am in love with Middle Earth, and the show helped me really scratch that itch.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the follow up seasons, and the fall of Numenor.  It would be kind of nice if there was a bit of a time jump that allowed the rebuilding of Peligar and re-establishment of the Numenorian colonies that would later allow Elendil to found Gondor and Arnor with something better than those magical ships they use.

Yeah people seem to forget it took a while to get GoT off the ground too.  Season 1 ended with a bang/chop but before the finale it was a lot of world building and setting up the chessboard.  It didn't stop there we kept getting new characters from different areas in Westeros etc.  But people are quick to lose their mind about RoP building up the story.  People need to give some slack, they don't have access to all the source material and are trying to create new things while staying close to the lore as possible.

varking are you like associated with the making of the show?

I’m not personally a part of Prime Video or Amazon Studios. I run the shows subreddit at r/LOTR_on_Prime and I’m a part of FellowshipofFans which was the main group of leakers for season 1. 
 

Amazon took note of what I was doing and made me, the subreddit and our team a part of their marketing campaign. They flew me to London in July and took me around Oxford to see Tolkiens local school, pub, grave. Then they took us to meet the showrunners, John Howe and Ramsay Avery and watch 20 minutes of footage well before anyone had seen anything. 
 

After that they started sending me exclusive information about the show to share on the sub before their official social media channels posted them. 
 

Then they flew me out to San Diego for SDCC where we sat down with the main cast and showrunners and had lunch and a party after SDCC. From there I made friendships with a few of the actors and actually daily text two of them via iMessages. We also got to see the trailer before anyone else who’s there. Oh and they signed a limited print print art piece for us, gave us Rings of Power mugs, phone chargers, rain jackets and a bunch of other merch. 
 

Then me and my gf got flown to NY to see the first two episodes about two weeks before the show went live. 
 

During the show coming out each week I got to interview:

Princess Disa, Isildur, Earien, Miriel, Durin IV, Marigold and Nori. When the show ended I got to interview Jamie Wilson the Head of Prosthetics. These were all on Reddit via Reddit Talks which were audio interviews like Radio.
 

There’s a lot coming up for season 2 marketing and I will be a part of all of that as well. 
 

I am under NDA but my NDA is simply I can’t talk about anything they haven’t given me the green light to talk about, but once I get the green light I can be as honest as I want. 
 

Durin season 1 I was one of eight people who got a feedback form sent specifically to them to fill out for feedback about each episode as they aired and it required us to watch the show twice as soon as it aired at midnight for me. 
 

It’s been wild.

    • Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.
    • Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*
    • Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
