A lot of diehard Tolkien fans are currently holding reservations about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power due to its time period and subject matter. Taking place in the Second Age of Middle-earth, this is essentially a period that the British author hasn’t really discussed in length, and the only thing the showrunners have to go on are the appendices to The Lord of the Rings itself.
That’s why the writers, including executive producers Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne, have had to come up with most of the narrative details, including the dialogue between the characters. Because unlike The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, the timeline of the Second Age is mostly told through little factual snippets, as if reading a history book.
