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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
