I’m actually doing a whole lot of things this weekend but I have so many The Rings of Powers thoughts in my head that I thought I’d put at least one down here. And that made me reconsider how I am using this blog. I feel occasional lists of what I am reading is going … Continue reading Brief Housekeeping Notes
This is a blog post about The Rings of Power Season 2. It contains spoilers. There is a scene in the first episode of the second season of The Rings of Power that still haunts me.
