BT can't be bothered to do maintenance on the lines for broadband, so as a consequence, internet doesn't work properly when we get a tiny, intsty winsty dusting of snow...

Elrond and Galadriel make several trips between Lindon and Ereigon, but only one on trip do they encounter the Barrow Downs? I can see how people think it's bad. I think I could forgive the errors in the timeline, and poetic licensing with OCs, and changes to characters, as that happens with most adaptations but the lack of knowledge of the terrain, unexplained plot holes (like Isildur being captured by spiders and

The implausible journey length times also stand out quite badly, too. It takes Bilbo, Thorin and the Dwarves, and the Fellowship months to travel to Erebor, and cross Middle-Earth to Gondor, so the quick journey times (especially from Númenor to Mordor in the first series), is just plain silly. Maybe it's the short number of episodes, bad editing or lack of time stamps (time stamps are very useful for epic stories)

It's quite mixed, over all, but it gets brownie points for Tom Bombadil, since all other adaptations aside from LOTRO cut him out of the narrative.

I've been watching series 2 of Rings of Power, and so far, Tom Bombadil (despite being no where near the Old Forest), is about the only character that is close to the book.
These NHS text message apps are a load of shite because they don't tell you who the appointment is for, or what it's about.
If there is one thing I find off putting in holiday lets is when they use photos where there is crap all over the dining table, coffee table, etc... It makes me feel like I've got to spend half an hour to an hour cleaning up after a long journey to get there before I can settle in and unpack.
