I saw The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale on stage! Is it worth checking out?

For almost a century, J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” books have been cherished. Peter Jackson’s film versions continue to be popular today. Currently, Amazon Prime Video is debuting the second season of its prequel series, “The Rings of Power,” based on “The Lord of the Rings.” Perhaps a stage musical could also be included in this collection?

In the first season of Game of Thrones, a significant plot point revolved around the strength of the Baratheon lineage, casting doubt on Cersei Lannister’s blonde children being the trueborn offspring of her husband King Robert. The show House of the Dragon attempts to recreate this intrigue with Rhaenyra Targaryen’s children, suggesting their dark hair implies they are not the genuine progeny of her late husband Laenor Velaryon. However, this plot twist doesn’t resonate as effectively as its predecessor, potentially weakening the series each time it is mentioned.

Rick Berman had someone else in mind to play Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager

In the fourth season of Star Trek: Voyager, significant shifts were introduced. For instance, fans bid farewell to Kes, the nine-year lifespan Ocampan portrayed by Jennifer Lien, and welcomed Jeri Ryan, who assumed the role of Seven of Nine, the Borg drone rescued from the Collective by Voyager’s crew. It was clear that Ryan joined the team not just to enrich the storylines, but also to inject a touch of allure to boost viewership ratings. This strategy proved effective, despite the fact that producer Rick Berman had another actor in mind for Seven of Nine, as he visualized a very different character altogether.
