The COVID-19 Diary: Saturday 17 September

The internet is having fun playing guessing games about the characters in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, to wit:

Sauron watch: Is <this character> going to turn out to be Sauron? Maybe <that character>?

Who dat: Who is <this yet to be identified character> going to turn out to be? Gandalf? No, Gandalf hasn’t shown up yet. Are they messing with the timeline?

Name that doom: Boy, <so-and-so> seems really evil. Will they tun out to be a Nazgûl, one of the Dead Men of Dunharrow, etc.?

That’s not in the book: The purists’ catch phrase every time a difference shows up. This is typically said in reply to a post about the show because a true purist wouldn’t be caught dead watching the show.

Stay healthy and safe.
