Good For Those That Only Like the Text
After listening to a few of the episodes including 10, these guys have a lot of knowledge and are clearly respected which is good, but be aware that they tend to take a jab at most elements that don’t line up with the text (even if there isn’t any relevant Second Age text). I feel that they look down their nose at adaptations, even elements of the ComicCon trailer, so for that reason I’ve become weary listening to the constant undercurrent of skepticism. If you only like the text, that’s fine, but I suggest that you just study the text and ignore the adaptations, and let others enjoy the adaptive trip back to Middle Earth.
