Poor Mikey R. He gets a “hosted by” credit, but we never get to see his face.
And then he has to read some really crappy copy.
They don’t even spring for someone who is perhaps somewhat familiar with the language of Tolkien tell him how to pronouce these strange words.
I’m still chuckling over the copy calling the Rohirrim “The Rohans.” I mean, yeah “Rohirrim” is a confusing word for a TV show, but you could of changed it to “The riders of Rohan” or “The people of Rohan”, but the way Mikey said it, it came out “The rohons.” Heheh. I kept thinking “Who are the Rohons? I’ve never heard of them before.”
And the line about “If Edoras is Heaven on middle earth, then Helm’s deep must surely be Hell.” — who wrote that, a 12-year-old? Neither place resembles either a heaven or a hell.
Yes, it’s nitpicking, but really – Have someone look over the copy before it goes out.
