I didn’t take it as mercy, on the raft Sauron saw an opportunity. He didn’t precisely know how it would benefit him, but he was adding cards to his hand that he could play to his advantage later. Scheming, devious, selfish not a shred of mercy

Please forgive me for coining a phrase from another franchise, but ‘you must unlearn what you have learned’.

That seems to be philosophy of the whole RoP writing team! Or perhaps, not learn it in the first place.

Working through another edition of the Roving Ranger I noticed an interesting "missing data point"...

The line mentioned above:

"... was estimated the second series cost $700m (£533m), with three film units working independently around the country"

has essentially disappeared from the spaces it was mentioned.

The only mention still available online is this BBC 3 Instagram post I am saving here for the moment as this is one of the items in the series' discussion that should have made more of a splash during season 2 - but I would assume for the time being that was a topic best not mentioned.

Another post with Stagerunner also links to posts made by the studio on the money spent - with them no longer being available online.

With the Internet Archive's downtimes I cannot look for additional items, unfortunately. It is really of paramount importance to have this archive survive...
