A post shared by Fellowship of Fans (@fellowshipoffans)

Some breaking news from Fellowship of Fans this morning that "Rings of Power" has been renewed for a 3rd season!!! :D They were alerted that the latest issue of Production Weekly posted the show is looking for crew members to help work on season 3 which will film in 2024 and have a scan from the magazine as the 2nd picture here (along with a list of other shows/movies). Still need to wait on Amazon and the trades to announce but Deadline had already reported when the writers strike started that the show had already started early planning for season 3. Now that the writers strike is over they are back to work on it and any possible reshoots for season 2. Even though the show got a 5 season commitment order they still have to formally renew it each time but 3 is in the works.

Dwarven Princess Disa, the Glorious

Lady Disa is everything that Dwarves and our Dwarven lovers have deserved and not gotten since time began. On top of being a wonderful character, an equal in all measures to the dense and valourous immovability of dwarven men, but best of all, she has PRESENCE!

Gimli nearly stole the trilogy and it was only Aragorns firm kindness and Legolas's graceful rivalry together that balanced his forceful nature in the movies. I was nervous, because Dwarves are a lot (not in a bad way, but even dwarves must admit, they are a lot) and I worried that any portrayal of dwarven women might be a simply masculine portrayal.

But dear Manwë how wrong I was. Sophia Nomvete's Lady Disa swept the room with her power and brazen audacity and I loved every second of it. The way she cut through Durin's hurt straight to his love by pointing out the Tree, recognizing that while Durin's feelings might be valid, he'd regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't fix it, and treating Elrond with love and kindness despite how badly hurt she knew Durin was, because in the end, no matter how hurt he was, he still cared for that tree.

She balances out the crudity of dwarven men not by being elven proper, but by dwarven keen. Oh, she's clever and reads those around her like the Sunday newspaper. She's steady in the way she presents herself, sturdy in the way she balances out the more ridiculous sides of her husband, and absolutely steadfast in her control of the situation.

She makes me believe that had Dwarven women been in the peace talks between the Elven kingdoms in the first age, they might have had peace sooner, one way or another. Because let's face it, she might have been the absolute picture of kindness and hospitality but she also scared me a little. I would not want to be on her badside.

There were few things in this show that I didn't know I needed, but between the friendship of Durin and Elrond and The great lady just being herself...

And the juxtaposition of Disa and the other great ladies of Middle-earth! Eowyn is mighty and must express it in battle, Galadriel is just so amazing and this post isn't about her so I'll stop there, and Arwen, whose power of choice and grace speaks volumes, but only Disa made me feel at home (and a little scared, the looks she gives are terrifying lol).

And to you Dwarven kind out there saddened by the lack of beard... I hear you, truly. But, tell me it was not amazing seeing a real Dwarven princess be an actual legend on screen? I think the Dwarven legendarium deserves this wonderful woman and just like Elrond's reception by the lady herself, it was such an unexpected joy.

"God, I love dwarfs" I said, tearing up, while watching the second episode of The rings of power.

Found Family

[buffyfan145]

Major update about "Rings of Power" season 2 as the cast are now doing ADR/Automated Dialogue Replacement (FOF added on to this tweet that they had a typo). That means the actors re-record their lines now in editing to help fix the sound. This is allowed even with the writers and actors strike going on in the US as there is a loophole many shows are doing as by UK law the actors who are a part of the UK actors union Equity have to still work by the UK contract even if they are also part of the US actors union SAG-AFTRA. It's how "House of the Dragon" and other American shows that film in the UK and a few other countries are still filming. As far as I know almost all the main cast are part of Equity but not sure for Ismael since he's American. It all depends if he's part of Equity too but they might just wait to redo his ADR, if it's needed, when the actors strike ends. So the show is pretty far along in editing if they've gotten to the ADR stage and still on track for s2 to be out sometime next year. :)
