Neo24

Now that we know the lab where Khan was created was apparently based in Toronto, my new head-canon is that Orphan Black is actually set in the Star Trek universe lol. The whole augmentation project is actually an offshoot of Leda/Castor/Dyad/Neolution and the Noonien-Singh after whom the lab was named (and who probably created Khan himself) was originally a part of that.

Now we just need Tatiana Maslany to show up in an episode somehow lol.

(Yeah, I know OB deliberately kept its setting somewhat vague, but at the end of the day, it was obviously Toronto/Canada. Just chalk up any weirdness/inconsistencies to effects of travel time shenanigans!)

Ilúvatar means "All-Father"... and it actually vaguely sounds like that (ilu - all, vatar - father). It being present from the earliest phases of the mythology, when the languages were not yet as fully developed and the Anglo-Saxon aspect of the mythology was arguably at one of its strongest points, I wonder if that's exactly how the word came about, by playing around with existing English (or Old English) words. And then it just stuck, because it sounds good, even though in-universe it can be at most a coincidence.

Unrelated but interesting, I knew the name "Eru" came later and that it was just "Ilúvatar" at the start, but didn't realize "Eru" first shows up only in 1951 (at least accordin

It was fun writing it, and some people liked it - so I present, episode two: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wp7HyrTx4uKZ5btYyThz1kmbjxVfsnZe/view?usp=sharing

Only took me 8 months, lol. (My appreciation for writers who have to churn out scripts at relatively short notice has definitely grown.)

Same disclaimers as last time - I do not own anything from Tolkien's work, no commercial intent, any (unlikely) similarity to the actual show is coincidental. Just for fun and the creative challenge.

Any feedback appreciated. What do you

I didn't really start out intending to write this, I've never really written fan-fiction. But with so little news coming out (come on, Amazon, give us at least some character names, that'd keep us busy for a while) and a bunch of spare time, and starting from my previous posts, my mind has been boiling with ideas, and started imagining scenes and dialogue. I had to get it out and it, er, grew in the telling.

So, here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HcE2tj_BPx_q_IsuqUN61fHmnpqBQXEW/view (pdf)

Note, I've never really written anything narratively before - well, at least not since school days. And English isn't my native language. With all that said, if anyone is interested, I'd love t

Ok, so I don't have inherently any problem with portraying the Federation as flawed and the tone being more ambiguous. I've enjoyed PIC reasonably well, so far. But the more I think about it, the more I believe that this portrayal itself is seriously flawed in regard to what the show aims to be about - because it's too narrow.

Pretty much all we've been presented so far is either some authority figures at the very top, or a rag-tag bunch of misfits operating on the edges of society. But... where's the rest of the Federation? What are they thinking? What was the Federation population's reaction to the synth attack, to abandoning the Romulans? Was it popular, unpopular? Was there a public ba

Warning, long! And SPOILERS, obviously.

Continuing on my previous post dealing with the show as a whole.

THE CHARACTERS

We can make some pretty good guesses which Elf characters will play a role in the show. However, a lot of them are really thinly drawn, if at all, and we need to differentiate them. I can see a couple of axes we can do that on - their relation to Middle Earth vs Valinor, their general optimism and idealism, the desire for power and gain vs joy in things for themselves, personal ambition, interests, opinions on other Free Peoples.

So. We know the show is supposed to have up to five seasons. From the teaser maps we have a solid (and eminently sensible) idea that there will be two main time-focuses of the show, the forging of the Rings, and the downfall of Numenor. How do we fit what we know of the Second Age story into five seasons that make sense as self-contained wholes and also as pieces of a bigger narrative? Here's my attempt.

First as a TLWR, a quick and dirty synopsis if you don't want to read a wall of text:

S1 - Introduction to the setting and the starting characters and the build-up to the forging of the Rings and the war

S2 - The rings are forged and then the rest of the season deals with
