we're actually kind of lucky in North America that we can stream most international #cricket on Willow for $10/month. But everyone should tune into the last three #CountyChampionship matches on YouTube in a month. As Toxy says, the production values vary, but there's been some high drama, and with three of the top four playing each other in the final rounds, it promises to be a thirlling finish.

I've been wondering about the Celebrimbor banner thing but IIRC that detail is from the Unfinished Tales so they'd have to get approval from the Tolkien estate to use it. The show is already bloody enough that I'm not showing it to my pre-teen Tolkien fan offspring, but the showrunners did at some point say they're *not* going to include Game of Thrones level sex and violence, so I don't think it's going to get much more gruesome.

the one that keeps needling me is that Durin III and Durin IV shouldn't be alive at the same time since all the Durins are supposed to be reincarnations of the original. (But yes, in general, it's an adaptation; it's okay if things differ from the source material.)
