Welcome. Welcome to Doug Too Deep, the officially unofficial podcast for the Lord of the Rings

of Power on Amazon Prime. I'm Jim. I'm Iran. And we're back. Maybe this comes to surprise to people, I don't know, but we're back.

That's season is about to say.

Because I think we left things a little up in the air last season and we've made some some semi-public statements when some of the fans have asked and we're like

No, no, we're not gonna come back to this this silly show but then start looking at the

schedule looking at some of the season two trailers and we've decided to give the

second age of Middle Earth a second chance.

Yeah, yeah, and then we'll give the third age a third chance and there probably be ages after that.

No, the real thing is we looked at the calendar, like you said.

And it was either a choice to do this or Darryl Dixon.

And it was like, well, you know,

Darryl Dixon had its moments, but also it wasn't all good.

And this seemed like the thing that would please the most people, I think, when you look at a show that has 1 million people

versus a hundred million people watching it what what can you do and our numbers

really bore that out like Darrell Dixon was just on a downward trajectory. This one was on an upward trajectory as we exited last season, so figure you know, I am...

Give it a try. I'm a little worried we're being rope a rope a doped by the trailers.

Maybe. You know last season is I didn't I didn't think was very good in the middle part it was sometimes terrible in my opinion but it's it's a

it's a weird season because it was also bookended by some of the best fantasy I've ever

seen most beautiful fantasy I've ever seen,

most beautiful fantasy I've ever seen.

The first two episodes and the finale episode of season one

were kind of everything I was hoping to get from the series.
