Originally intended to be the start of analyzing Rings of Power Season 2, I instead take the time to remember the origin and purpose of the podcast. I also discuss how LOTRA will cover season 2 as a whole and why the focus is not speculation and opinion. I address why I like the unique approach and why I look positively at adaptations in general. Also more Elven Rings talk and some book reading.
