Just finished bingeing Rings of Power. Need some help from LOTR nerds, hopefully without spoiling anything upcoming

  1. What was Sauron doing on that shipwreck?
  2. Why doesnā€™t Sauron just kill Galadriel?
  3. I thought Sauronā€™s one ring controlled all the other rings. But it seems that the Elvesā€™ rings are made before the one ring? How does that work?
  4. Whatā€™s the deal with all the tunnels the orcs were digging?
  5. Who are those three ?people who mistook Gandalf from Sauron?

Finally caught up on White Lotus. Ready for finale. So many questions. Hereā€™s one:

I donā€™t get whatā€™s up with Greg being the only dude that gay dude (whose name is apparently Quentin) every loved. If itā€™s just a coincidence, thatā€™s super weird. If itā€™s not, then why the fuck would Quentin just leave those photos lying around. Especially in the room when she knows the Italian dude is going to bang her. I guess some dude who would bang his fake nephew with the door open probably lacks awareness, but I think weā€™re suppose to conclude that this guy is some sort of sophisticated con artist.

Iā€™m sure there is probably a way to write their way out of this, but Iā€™m skeptical that they will pull it off well.

Overall, the series has been great and I really hope there is a S3.

Finished 1899. Wants to be epic but isnā€™t. Didnā€™t give a shit by the end. Fine if thereā€™s no season 2.

Anyone seen willow yet ? 84% Tomatometer but 24% audience score is pretty wild.

I have not seen it. Usually those kids of ratios happen when fantasy loving incels get themselves riled up because a remake includes a black person or a woman who has too many opinions.

White LotusAll I will predict is that the grandpa is going to have a heart attack underneath the lounge singer.

Hereā€™s a free link to the Wall Street Journalā€™s deep dive on Portia:

The show probably ruined someoneā€™s childhood.

Woke agendas are ruining everyoneā€™s childhood, IMO.

One of the best ways to ruin your childhood is by keep living it as an adult.
