He traded for their tobacco and even went to the Shire when banished. Of course by then he was mad with power so he took it over and ruined it, but it seemed like at one time he liked Hobbits. It would have tied back to the questioning on whether he was a friend or a threat to them. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris <cite>Maniac64 posted [p:968777654] in The Lord o...

Mr_Lasastryke 10/18/22 2:46:48 AM #111:	i prefer IMDb to RT for gauging the audience reaction and rings of power has a 6.9 over there. not an amazing score but solid enough. i will say that the reaction to the show by all of the youtube reviewers i know has been universally negative, though. i literally can't think of a single one who liked it from the start. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta <cite>Mr_Lasastryke posted [p:968793927] in The Lord o...

HanOfTheNekos 10/18/22 7:21:25 AM #114:	I think it's solid as a season-long arc, but they really failed to make the first half of the episodes interesting on their own.

guffguy89 10/18/22 2:37:37 PM #116:	Also, you always gotta view those imdb ratings as a range rather than an absolute number. I find them generally reliable, if you give them maybe a 2 point leeway in either direction based on individual preferences. I've seen a lot of 6's given for movies/shows that I felt deserved higher. --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. <cite>guffguy89 posted [p:968803055] in The Lord o...

JJH777 10/18/22 5:24:57 PM #119:	UltimaterializerX posted... Im happy for you but the audience score isnt 39% by accident, and it would be around 15% if reviews werent being censored. There are some flagrant issues. The idea that this show is worse than 85% of other TV shows is so absurd. People are rating it that low because they got caught up in a culture war. Even just among middle earth adaptations in no universe are The Hobbit films better than this show. It has plenty of issues but 15% is ridiculous. --- 9/2/13-The Hero of GameFAQs fought bravely but fell to an unrelenting horde supported by a corrupt tyranny. R.I.P.

Or he manipulated her into doing everything he wanted, and once she realized she was being played, he directly tried to seduce her into joining the dark side.
