that doesnt sound very scientific, i thought we were trusting the science. according to science, we all came from one jogger in africa named Lucy. she just randomly appeared one day and started popping black, asian, and white babies out spontaneously and they populated the planet.

Also on topic, this is going to be rank shit.

You may not have noticed how definitions get changed by irrational people, so while the definition used by Lithose was correct (as I said), it is not the definition that the show runners for the Ghetto Shire show is using or possibly even aware of. Is a Nation a Tribe?

No, it isn't. But, a collection of tribes can be a nation. Words mean what they mean and misuse does not change their meaning. I have no desire to continue arguing semantics, or linguistics. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat some strawberries while I resume my first viewing of Stargate SG-1. Have a good day, sir.

Not surprised about the timeline. Will most likely be the 2nd millenium of the Second Age when Sauron first appears in his elvish/maiar form and forges the rings of power. It's also around the same time Elrond constructs Rivendell, Galadriel shows up, and Numenor is formed.

So thats the first we've seen of a release date, 9/2/22 for the first episode drop.
The show has filmed 2 seasons, back to back, and season 1 is 8 episodes.
synopsis from amazon website
This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

I agree with the comment on this video on youtube... this will either be great, or suck. There is no middle ground.

Not sure if serious, but just in case, shadows of war is a super fun fanfic. Nothing that happens in it is canon and it even changes stuff just to fit it's nonsense.
But if this does have sauron in his fair form, and it is about, or at least shows the creation of the rings, then yes celebrimbor SHOULD be in this

Considering the casting we know of so far, I'm not sure it can be focused anywhere other than Numenor, unless we're going to get PoC Elves. Given how WoT was ruined, I can only see this as a disappointment.
