    Session 7-06: The Union of Maedhros

    I'm not suggesting that the Eagles become go-fors for Turgon, just that they (Húrin or Fingon) send a message to Turgon at some point telling him of their plans. No response is even needed. He does come "unlooked for" after all. I believe that it was discussed in a fairly early season (3 or 4?)...

    Session 7-06: The Union of Maedhros

    Does he though? I think that would undermine how he treats others in regards to his policy of people leaving Gondolin. He only allowed his sister to leave with two escorts and only to see her cousins. He didn't allow Eol to leave, which resulted in the death of his sister. Hurin and Huor were...

    Session 7-06: The Union of Maedhros

    I was thinking about this when the Gondolin stuff was discussed last episode. How does Gondolin even know there's something to join? The simplest option would be to have messages relayed by the Eagles, I suppose. But with no one coming to or leaving Gondolin, how does Turgon know this is even...

    A name for "Bree"

    I have yet to really catch up on the seasons sessions (the last SilmFilm episode that popped up in my podcast feed was last seasons music session, on 9/1; and I'm not going to kill my phone by leaving a YouTube or twitch video running for 3-4 hours at a time) so who exactly are "those people"...

    A name for "Bree"

    On one hand I agree with Ilana; the names would not likely evolve over 6000+ years, but rather change completely. On the other hand, there will be less than 10 (?) seasons of SilmFilm tv between this seasons story and actually having Bree be Bree, so it might not seem as unnatural in that...

    Session 7-03: Sauron and Galadriel

    This does sound like a good post-War of Wrath plot for Sauron though.

    Session 7-03: Sauron and Galadriel

    Yeah, I tihnk corrupted was the wrong word... More along the lines of Sauron planting seeds in Mîm's/their heads to distrust elves and men. I know they already have a bit of a trust issue with elves after being run from Nargothrond, but they haven't really dealt with men that we've shown yet...

    Session 7-03: Sauron and Galadriel

    Shelob? Kidding. Could we perhaps have him come across Mîm and Petty Dwarves band? I like the idea of Sauron corrupting them a bit before they run into Túrin next season, more than I like the idea that they are evil because elves hunt them like animals. I believe they were last seen in the...

    Session 7-02: The Scope of Season 7

    How much time do we think should be focused on the "plague" story? Will there be much, or should it remain presented as it is in the Silmarillion/Narn, only shown in relation to the family of Hurin?

    Session 7-02: The Scope of Season 7

    Yes, rather than jumping fully into Hurin's "Aurë entuluva!" from the beginning of the season, we could start in Fingon's place of Auta i lómë! Utúlie'n aurë! (The night is passing, the day shall come) which leads into Hurin's Aurë entuluva, which eventually sort of leads to Turin's "this only...

    Session 7-01: A Look Ahead

    I was about to say the same thing. I like the idea of one stone, but you convinced me the two stone version would be better.

    Session 7-01: A Look Ahead

    And there's a version where it is...both. Enerdhil made the original that eventually went West with Earendil, while Celebrimbor made a second for Galadriel. While I like the idea that the one Galadriel has and is passed to Aragorn, I dislike the idea that the one passed to Aragorn is...

    Session 7-01: A Look Ahead

    Isn't it about time we started figuring out the Elfstone? The first (if we go with the two Elfstone version) was made in Gondolin, and Gondolin's only got 3, maybe 4 seasons left before their Fall. Soo we should at least see it made this season, if nothing else. Could possibly happen during...

    Narrative Irony in the Túrin story

    I'm not fond of flashback myself. But this wouldn't really be a traditional flashback, it's a HUGE flashback that has major reprecussions on the entire story. In the truest sense, isn't SilmFilm just one big flashback from a Third Age perspective? ;) I just feel the justification of this...

    Narrative Irony in the Túrin story

    While I see the benefits of using narrative irony in this case, I feel the story best served without it. That said, I would hate to completely lose (our knowledge of) Nienor and Morwen until the last episode or so, but any glimpse of Nienor once they arrive in Doriath will spoil the end. About...

    The (Unofficial) SilmFilm Organization Project©

    Hello, guys and gals! Sorry for the inactivity for the last 6 months to a year. I've had a pretty rough year. But, I need to get back in the saddle. With the couple of months hiatus between seasons 6 and 7, I would really like to do some catching up on the Organization aspect of SilmFilm...

    Actors who can sing

    Rege-Jean Page, of Bridgerton fame, sang in the Sandman Audio dramas, and has received alot of praise for doing so.

    7 Stars of Elendil

    It's Tolkien's explanation though. Straight from the appendices. Of the nine ships that escaped, 7 had a palantir on board. Those 7 ships had a banner flying that bore a single star to signify they bore a palantir. I'm sure the other ships of Numenor bore banners as well, what they are, he never...

    7 Stars of Elendil

    A post I made a couple of years ago. Basically, they represent the 7 stars on the banners of the ships that carried the Palantiri to Middle-earth after the Downfall of Numenor.

    Ring of Barahir

    So, since we likely have a few months (still 9 episodes to go through, every other week) before things need to be done, I am going to try to get a jump on doing some 3D models to present at the end of the season. I am probably going to try to do the Ring of Barahir, Finrod's Crown and maybe...
