Rings of Power season 2 annihilated me

Warning: Spoilers ahead! If you haven’t seen all episodes of Rings of Powerseasons one and two, you may want to stop reading now—unless you’re ready to spare yourself some emotional anguish.

Each episode left me with a deep sense of hopelessness. The good characters are relentlessly downtrodden, while the villains triumph, mutilate, and kill without reprieve.

Season one filled me with hope, especially towards the end, when it became clear that the falling star was most likely Gandalf. However, sea...

The Freedom to Write

I just went through my old files way back from 2009, and I have worked out that I’ve written 16 books. 

At this point I would like to republish them under my full name, just so that I can have them on my personal bookshelf to be proud of. At the moment none of them are published because I wrote in so many different genres, I was not sure if they should all be available as Suz Korb. 

I started writing young adult supernatural fiction, but then I also wrote romantic comedy and romcoms with a superna...

Apparently that was not my last blog post, teehee

I am afraid. I’m scared that if I continue writing chapter three of my current manuscript, I’m going to fuck it all up. You must understand that 15 years is a long time to write every day not feeling like you’ve found your niche. And I have restarted this manuscript for months now. That’s every day restarting after writing about two chapters. Countless versions of this novel have begun and ended because I was not happy with the character I was creating and the style I was using. But I managed to...

Last Blog Post

 For a while? Forever? I don’t know if this will be my last blog post ever. I am switching to my pen blogging because I am finally excited and writing with flow, So I want to express that exuberance on my pen name blog rather than spending time with this blog obsessing over one TV show.

I couldn’t bring myself to rewatch season two episode five for a second time, And that’s telling because I have been rewatch every other episode before on repeat since the start of season two. But I finally sorted...

I would do anything to be in Rings of Power

And/or write for it. Well, maybe not. I enjoy seeing what the writers and actors portray with every new episode. 

Spoilers ahead.

But also in my humble opinion, the actor who stopped playing Adar in season 1 made the wrong choice. If I was in this show, I would devote my life to it, and I wouldn’t care if I was typecast and it was the only acting job I ever had. But then again, I’m not him. So far the new Adar actor is okay, just takes some getting used to his face, especially when I keep watching...

Rings of Power alternate fanfiction brainstorming

Let’s create some fanfiction based off rings of power. What if Sauron had stayed on Numenor and Galadriel had escaped the very first day they arrived, and left for middle earth on her own. Sauron would have never got the idea for the rings. 
I have two ideas I want to contrast. 1. Sauron works in Numinor at the forge/blacksmith’s, maybe he finds a way to influence Numinor to help him conquer all. 2. What other path could Sauron take on Numinor? Does every path for him lead to evil? Or does he try...

Rings of Power season 2 episode 5

Well that episode really annoyed me. I don’t think I’ll rewatch that one again and again. Beware major spoilers ahead. It was all sad sad sad. Previous episodes have had some lifting moments, but not this one. Things just go from bad to worse to darker still. ☹️

So yeah I guess Valandil is off the show now. I can’t let myself get too upset about these things (even though I’m pissed off and gutted like he was) because it’s just a show. But man, I hate Eärien and Kemen. The writers have done a good...

Only Murders in the Building, Season 4 episode 3

Wow, I can’t believe we are on season four already. I am so glad this show exists and keeps going. Somehow they always manage to make up a new murder in the same building. How do they do it? Oh yeah, it’s fiction. Anything goes, and this season is probably the funniest so far . 
We are on season four episode three and spoilers ahead; I just loved the scene with Martin Short and Zach Galifianakis doing the 1980s sitcom intro together. That wasn't the only funny bit though. Lots of giggles already,...

I hope for dragons

In Rings of Power we’ve only seen dragons in battle for a brief scene when Morgoth first started war in middle earth. That was a glimpse in season 1 episode 1. So will there be more dragons? We are up to episode 4 of season 2 and I hope to Eru that there are actual dragons yet to come! Every fantasy story needs dragons, without dragons it’s not fantasy. Fact.

I can’t wait to add dragons into my own romantasy. I have three kingdoms created so far, and I’m exploring my magics. But I haven’t made ro...

Inconsistencies Between Seasons 1 & 2 - Rings of Power

Told you I'm obsessed with this show. I just keep watching it on repeat while I eat. And when I'm eating I'm taking a break from my own romantasy novel writing. Or I'm sitting down to catch my breath, I have an illness. Or I watch it over again between chores, errands, life.
Now I'm sure the writers and creators of the show have written every episode of however many seasons are intended to be made. Which is hopefully loads. Right now we are up to Season 2 episode 4 of weekly releases. So I don't ...
