"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair..."

Over the last 7 weeks, we've journeyed to many of those dark places... a darkness from Amazon as they recreated Tolkien's world into something bleak and amateurish. Between Dirty Little Sociopaths, Encino Man, and Halbro, they've completely ignored 16 of the rings, minimized Elves, re-imagined Mithril into a ridiculous lotion of light, and written the worst dialogue this side of the CW.

But there is much that is fair! Go now, and read Tolkien's original works, wash this darkness off and seek the beauty of what he truly created!
