“LOTR is fantasy to start with. Getting bent out of shape over black hobbits is asinine.”

Roger that. You want a diverse cast in a fantasy epic like this. Actually, so far the character actors and secondary roles are much more interesting than the leads. Better acted too. I think the hard core Tolkien fans are the ones most ticked over this. And most of the actual racists are so used to diverse casts they’ve resigned themselves not to let it get in the way of a good flick.

I forced myself to watch the second episode and it was better. But still I’d give it 6/10 only and half of that is for the CGI and cinematography. I’d give the GOT prequel 8.5 after last night.

You do?

Why?

I know! Let's do "The Journey to the West" and have it all played by Bushmen.

That would be very diverse.
