@coin I'm not sure where they can go with a billion dollar Lord of the Rings show based on a young Aragorn's adventures. It's guaranteed to at least piss off the loyalists since it'd need to be 99% new material, just for starters.

Also if they can't actually do anything to alter the course of the books, so say... Strider can't meet Frodo, expose Saruman or any of that stuff, then they might as well set it on any other time period (Beren and Luthien? Fourth Age stuff?) or even just ditch the LotR angle and use original material. And I say this as a huge Middle Earth fan.
