I reckon it's deffo Gandalf, same dynamic with the hobbit kid and the horse and carriage.

They've all but confirmed it with the follow your nose nonsense. If it's not it'll just be a cynical way to create a twist in the plot. If it is then it leads into the Big G's love for the shirefolk after his adventures with Nuri. 

 

I'll stick with it but with the last few episodes aside, I found it really tedious. No one to root for except the stranger and nuri, everyone else is deeply dislikesble. Oren is interesting but I suspect will die shortly.

I enjoyed it, but I was watching it with my 12 year old son so probably had a bit of an optimistic mindset.
Maybe as soon as you start thinking it’s a bit shit then there is quite a lot that you can easily spot that is a bit shit.

 

Mind you we have both been taking this piss out of Leo the worst acting weird lurching Manc kid from the first episode. Great fun for the boy, “Where’s me mother?” “Is it bedtime mother?” “Mother, should I brush my teeth now, mother?”

The queen has  cracking bosoms but she keeps them under wraps.

 

She's also a massively boring bint.

She lobs them out in Spartacus.

Spartacus was brilliant, the exact opposite of this rubbish.

I think you'll find it's this really expensive rubbish.  Not sure how you can spend a billion and the end result is this.

Cheers, I thought I recognised the actress from somewhere. Spartacus was a brilliant series.

She was a huge downgrade on the woman She replaced in Spartacus.

I really liked it.

I'm on episode 3. It's a mess. A great looking mess, but a mess. I don't know who I'm supposed to be rooting for, or who the baddie is. I don't need to see slow motion of people riding horses, or Lenny Henry doing an Irish accent with a pile of straw on his head. Did Jeff Bezos write the screenplay? 

 

Galadriel would get it though, fit as.

Turn the sound off and listen to an album as you watch it. You'll miss nothing and enjoy it far more.

 

Galadriel is fit but a total fucking head buster.

Galadriel is Welsh. That's fucked up. That hobbit bird is 28 and Australian too.

Halbrand is an Aussie as well.  As is the annoying manc kid Leo I think.  What happened to giving all the Kiwi actors jobs?  Peter Jackson will be rolling in his grave.

Sums it up quite nicely.

You’re giving credence to a bloke who’s near enough a right-wing Trumpian incel?

I enjoyed it. Shoot me.

Seconded. Has its faults, but not everything can be SNW.

Seen the LOTR and Hobbit extended edition trilogies are currently both £14.99 on Amazon Video. 
 

Bit of a bargain for three films.

Should have known you were a wrong’un with peas on everything.

My affections have moved from Galadriel to Bronwyn. I've always liked the name Bronwyn. And I like tits, so she's a winner.

Admitedly not hard though

I enjoyed the series, overall. Wasn't the best thing I've ever watched, and the budget is a huge millstone around it's neck, but it did a job. I was a bit disappointed with the last two episodes though. And some of the script writing was abysmal. Would it have hurt to put a couple of laughs in now and again? 

 

6.5/10.

 

Mildly looking forward to series 2.

I've watched all those Roasts and I have to say they're absolutely brilliant.
