Episode 477 The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power S01E01-02 A Shadow of the Past/Adrift

Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the hosts are currently watching, commentary and analysis of the Prime Video series  The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

 

This week on the SciFi TV Rewatch podcast we discuss the series premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and the possibility that we might see three or four characters embark on heroic journeys worthy of Joseph Campbell’s monomyth. Admittedly, we know how many of these storylines will play out, but not how we’ll get there.

 

In our What We're Watching segment, Wayne’s reading the classic Robert Heinlein novel Stranger in a Strange Land, and Dave admits that he’d forgotten he actually watched the second season of The Man in the High Castle. 

 

In Listener Feedback, Fred from the Netherlands admits that a certain level of mystery doesn’t appear to be part of the series’ mythos, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t questions to be explored.
