Tolkien's most devastating chapter takes center stage: the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. Fingon's fall, dwarven defiance, and Morgoth's dark triumph are unpacked by Thomas Salerno, Patrick Mason, and Jeff Haecker. The post The Battle of Unnumbered Tears appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Miten lähtisit juuri tässä ajassa kuvittelemaan hyvää ja toivottavaa tulevaisuutta – utopiaa? Vai tuntuuko hyvän tulevaisuuden toivo ehkä naiivilta haihattelulta keskellä ekologista kriisiä, sota-aikaa, taloushuolia, hallituksen leikkauspolitiikkaa sekä kasvavaa eriarvoisuutta? Onko ihmisillä enää edes aikaa tai kykyä utooppiseen tulevaisuusajatteluun – ja jos ei ole, niin mitä tällöin menetetään? Utopia ei tarkoita ainoastaan jotakin hyvää ja toivottavaa ihannetta, vaan sananmukaisesti “ei paikkaa” – jotakin kuviteltavissa olevaa, mitä ei kuitenkaan vielä ole olemassa. Mutta miten päästä kiinni siihen, mitä ei vielä ole, ja miksi? Onko katseen kääntäminen kohti jotakin toivottua vain idealistista todellisuuspakoilua vai ehkä äärettömän merkityksellistä vaihtoehtoisten todellisuuksien luomista? Kenen utopiassa oikeastaan tällä hetkellä elämme ja uskaltaako tätä haastaa? Vieraina ovat radikaalin kuvittelun harjoittaja, Fingon kehityspolitiikan asiantuntija Eppu Mikkonen, tanssitaiteilija ja tulevaisuudentutkija Satu Tuittila sekä utopiatutkija Keijo Lakkala Lapin yliopistosta.

In this week's episode, I take a look back at the movies and TV shows I watched in Autumn 2024, and rate them from my least favorite to my favorite. TRANSCRIPT Hello, everyone. Welcome to episode 230 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is December the Sixth, 2024, and today we are looking at my movie/TV show roundup for Fall 2024. Before we get to that, we'll have an update on my current writing projects and then we will do Question of the Week.   First up, I'm pleased to report that the rough draft of Orc Hoard is done at 78,000 words, so it'll probably end up being about exactly the same length as Half-Orc Paladin, the previous book in the series. I've also written a short story called Commander's Wrath that newsletter subscribers will get a free ebook copy of when Orc Hoard comes out and hopefully we're on track to have that out before Christmas. I'm also 7,000 words into Shield of Deception, which will be the fourth book in The Shield War series and if all goes well, I'm hoping to have that out in January or February. In audiobook news, recording is currently underway for Cloak of Masks and that will probably be out towards the end of January or perhaps February, depending on how long processing takes.   00:01:02 Question of the Week   Question of the Week is designed to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question, what do you listen to while working: genre of music, audiobooks, podcast, nothing else so you can concentrate, et cetera. No wrong answers obviously, and we had quite a few answers.   David says: I listen to audiobooks and music. Music ranges from classical to country to pop, bands and soul artists to instrumental. No rap or heavy metal or dance music or I listen to music from YouTube channels. If I have to really focus on what I'm doing, I'll turn it low so it doesn't distract.   Justin says: video game music is my first choice. It can help you grind in real life just like it does in the game. If that isn't working for me, then rock or classical music with movie soundtracks at third.   Brooks says: I tend to gravitate towards hard rock/punk rock. I have to stay adrenalized. Outside work, I'll listen to almost anything.   Michael says: I find I can't listen to words or lyrics without getting distracted by them, so instrumental music is the way to go. Usually video game music too (the Stelara soundtrack is particularly epic), movie scores (Kingdom of Heaven is one of my favorites), or Dungeon Synth, an amazing music genre I only discovered recently.   Barbara says: sometimes I play music while writing, but most of the time I prefer the silence so I can better hear the voices in my head. Of course, I prefer very specific types of music that always end up coming back no matter how much I try to stray.   Jenny says: lots of EDM and techno if words would distract me or my solid nineties pop punk angsty mix. I also have a giant one I called “I heard it in a video game” for background music. John says: When I did/could work, I enjoyed outlaw country music, particularly that from Texas. Put me in a kick butt and take names kind of mood. When you're a plumber who gets paid by the work done, not the hour, that's where one wants to be.   (A different) John says: I only listen to music when I'm working in the kitchen. I'm eclectic. Sometimes classical music, sometimes ‘80s prog rock with Hawaiian music and occasionally jazz tossed in.   Juana says: I like rock and roll from many eras. I put my eclectic music on shuffle. I also listen to movie soundtracks: Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Animal House, et al.   Brandy says: If I'm cooking, I listen to Pandora. There's a pop ‘90s - ‘20s station. I do have a few that are specifically listed, angry or sad, one more angry German metal or Mongolian throat metal, the other more goth and industrial. I read books instead of listening. If I'm proofing, I usually have something on in the background. Today it's Sanctuary Season One.   Morgan says: ADHD means I jump around a lot on what I'm listening to depending on the day, but audiobooks- usually fantasy or horror. Podcasts- Pathfinder actual play podcasts, horror podcasts, and wrestling/gaming news podcasts. Music, whatever artist/album I'm obsessing over at the time, but usually prog rock, metal, or rap.   Matthew says: I always have my iPad for background noise. If I'm particularly invested in getting chapters done, I'll put on something largely audible.   Gary says: audiobooks, podcasts, worship music, Christian hard rock.   Bob says: Retired now, but when I was working I didn't listen to anything-needed to concentrate on what I was doing. When paying bills, I sometimes have some Morse Code on in the background (one of my previous means of paying the bills). On long car trips, it's nice to have some distraction -whatever radio station I can find, preferably one with a story. In truck stops, we used to find some stories on disc that had the actors doing the voice of the characters and some of them were pretty good.   For myself, I almost always listen to music while I'm working and that genre is usually soundtracks and video games, movies, and TV shows (in that order) that I liked, which makes it difficult to discuss music with people, I have to admit. I do listen to podcasts when I'm working outside, so long as I'm not using a power tool that requires earplugs for safe operation (which sadly seems to be most of the time).   00:04:42 Main Topic: Autumn 2024 Movie/TV Review Roundup   Now on to our main topic, the review roundup of the movies and streaming shows I watched in Autumn 2024. I was going to do a combined Autumn/Winter 2024 one, but it was getting a bit too long, so Winter 2024/2025 will be its own post in a few months. I seemed to watch a lot of time travel movies this time around and quite a few with Space Magic. As ever, the grades are totally subjective and based on nothing more than my own thoughts and opinions. Now let's take a look at the movies and streaming shows from least favorite to most favorite.   First up is Escanaba in Da Moonlight, which came out in 2001 and it is a surrealist comedy about hunting traditions set in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 42-year-old Reuben Sodi is the only man in his family who has never shot a buck, so when he complains about this to his Native American wife, she casts a spell to help Ruben bag his first buck, which results in a very bizarre nighttime journey/vision quest. This includes UFOs, visitations by nighttime spirits, and a Department of Natural Resources officer having a mental breakdown. This was a funny movie, but it was definitely very weird and even more specific. If you're at all familiar with the hunting culture of Upper American Midwest, you'll get the humor. If you're not familiar with it, this will be like watching a movie from another planet. Overall grade: C.   Next up is Looper, which came out in 2012. I didn't actually like this movie very much, but I respect how well done it was. Joseph Gordon Levitt plays Joe and is a type of assassin called a looper living in the US in 2044. About 30 years after 2044, time travel is invented but immediately outlawed. Since it's difficult to get away with murder in 2074 due to advanced technology, crime syndicates have taken to sending people they want eliminated back in time to 2044 where the loopers immediately execute the target in exchange for a big fat payout. Loopers can live like kings, but there's a price. Eventually the loop is closed and the looper's future self is sent back to be killed by his past self. Failure to comply results in an extremely grisly fate at the hands of the syndicate. Joe, being a hardened killer and drug addict, is fine with all this and even helps turn in a fellow looper who failed to close his own loop. Then Joe's future self arrives. Joe is about to kill Future Joe (played by Bruce Willis), but Future Joe escapes and Present Joe has to hunt down and kill Future Joe if he wants to survive.   In the process, Present Joe stumbles across the farm of a woman named Sarah (played by Emily Blunt) and her young son Sid. Present Joe realizes that future Joe has traveled back to kill the child, Sid, who will be responsible for the death of Future Joe's wife in the future. Despite everything he's done, Present Joe is not okay with this and gears up to help Sarah defend Sid from Future Joe. This movie was on the very dark side of noir filmmaking: no good characters, essentially only various degrees of bad people trying to navigate their way through the maze of time crimes. I did strongly dislike how fundamentally nihilistic the movie was and the addition of telekinesis did seem like kind of a plot crutch. There is also some unnecessary nudity. Rian Johnson is actually an excellent filmmaker. Knives Out and Glass Onion were both very good, but I cannot imagine how someone will watch Looper and think, hey, this guy is a good choice for a Star Wars movie. Overall Grade: B-   Next up is Agatha All Along, which came out in 2024. It was extremely well written and well-acted. You almost have to watch it twice just to admire how well put together the plot was. I wasn't expecting to like Agatha All Along, but it is an excellent example of writing a show with a villain protagonist and actually pulling it off. The show is also a good example of something I've talked about before on the podcast and the blog: characters can be likable, emotionally sympathetic, or both. It's sometimes tricky to write a character who's both, unlikable but emotionally sympathetic. By contrast, Agatha Harkness is an excellent example of a character who's both likable and highly, highly unsympathetic. Agatha All Along is indeed a show with a villain protagonist, but Agatha is charismatic enough to remain likable even though she's unquestionably an absolute monster who deserves every bit of suffering she endures.   Actress Kathryn Hahn deserves major credit for making someone as evil as Agatha so charismatic. Agatha retains just enough of a sliver of sympathy to keep the audience from turning on her, but even when she shows flashes of humanity, beneath that there are even more layers of monster. She also does a very sort of a modern Doctor Who/ Sherlock thing where she talks very fast and puts up a flippant and silly facade, but she's actually calculating things several steps in advance and manipulating everyone around her to her final goal. Anyway, the plot of Agatha All Along is that Agatha finally breaks free from the spell of the Scarlet Witch placed on here at the end of Wandavision. However, Agatha doesn't have any magic left, which is a major problem for her because she has very many enemies who very much want to see her dead as soon as possible, but then a mysterious teenager turns up and asks for Agatha's help. He wants to walk the legendary Witches' Road and it has said that someone who walks the road and survives to the end will receive their heart's desire. Since Agatha doesn't have any other options and she has some major enemies, she agrees. Agatha, the teenager, and the Witches' Road itself all have very dark secrets and their reveal makes for some major drama. As I mentioned, the show was very well written and acted. I suspect that may be the secret for movie or TV success in the 2020s economic climate: good actors, an excellent script, and keep your costs down. Overall grade: B   Our next movie is Field of Dreams, which came out in 1989. An Iowa farmer discovers he's a very specific kind of necromancer, like how sports medicine is a specific field of study. Maybe sports necromancy is a specific subclass for evil wizards or something. All joking aside, the main character is Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) and he's walking his cornfield one day and he hears a mysterious voice tell him “If you build it, he will come.” Ray builds a baseball field in one of his cornfields and began speaking to the ghost of Shoeless Joe, a popular baseball player who died in 1951. Soon a lot of other ghosts arrive and start playing baseball as well. The mysterious voice starts urging Ray to “ease his pain” and Ray concludes this must means Terrance Mann (played by James Earl Jones), an activist writer from the sixties who dropped out of the public eye and is living in seclusion. So Ray starts on a cross country trip to persuade Mann to come to his baseball field. This movie is really perhaps the ur-example of the Feel-Good Eighties Movies and maybe a Baby Boomer movie. The characters speak with near religious reverence for the ‘60s, baseball is the Great American Pastime, and Ray really wants to heal his relationship with the father he rebelled against back in the ‘60s. The best part of the movie was unquestionably James Earl Jones' character and his performance as he resigns himself to Ray's craziness and then starts to believe in it was pretty great. Overall grade: B Next up is Holiday, which came out in 1938. Holiday is a romantic comedy from the 1930s. Cary Grant plays Johnny Case, who has fallen in love with Julia Seton, the daughter of a wealthy New York banking family. However, his more individualistic outlook soon puts him at odds with Julia's more traditionalist family, though this draws the attention of Julia's elder sister Linda (played by Katharine Hepburn). It felt a bit like watching a play and a little research revealed that it was indeed based on a play from 1928, which may be why the film didn't do so well when it originally came out, though it is regarded as a classic today.   Viewers in the Great Depression era would probably find it difficult to sympathize with a man who wanted to turn down a well-paying job at a bank, not out of moral objections to the bank's business practices, but because he would feel constrained. The Seton family is played as eccentric and somewhat troubled, but not as buffoons or villains as rich people were often portrayed in other 1930s movies. Good performances and worth watching as a classic, though sound technology has improved quite a bit in the last 90 years, so you probably will want to watch it with the captions on. Overall grade: B   Next movie is Twisters, which came out in 2024. This is basically the same movie as Twister from back in 1995, but with some of the plot of Pride and Prejudice bolted on. Kate Carter (played by Daisy Edgar-Jones) is an Oklahoma storm chaser with her boyfriend and best friends. One day, one of their storm chases goes horribly wrong, killing Kate's boyfriend and most of their friends. Five years later, Kate is working for the National Weather Service in New York when her old friend Javi, the other survivor of that storm, asks for her help testing a new radar tracking system. Kate reluctantly agrees and they return to Oklahoma and crosses horns with storm YouTuber Tyler Owens (played by Glenn Powell) who makes videos of his truck shooting fireworks into tornadoes. Naturally, Kate and Tyler immediately misunderstand each other in the same way as in Pride and Prejudice but are forced to work together when it turns out that Javi's company might have ulterior motives. I thought this was a thoroughly enjoyable summer popcorn flick. Given how both Covid and the 2023 writers' strike hit this movie's production like two successive freight trains, it's astonishing it turned out so well. Overall grade: A-   Next up is The Rings of Power Season 2, which came out in 2024. I have the same attitude towards this as I do with Starfield. I really like it. In fact, my Xbox told me I played Starfield for 270 hours in 2024, but I get why some people do not. This show is essentially very elaborate fan fiction. The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, despite the changes from the book, was still recognizably The Lord of the Rings. The Rings of Power is almost entirely its own thing. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this for a couple of reasons and hope it continues. First, it's nice to have an epic fantasy TV series that's not a nihilistic pornographic torture fest like Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon and is more competently executed than Disney's ill-fated Willow Series.   Second, all things must be taken in their context. What do I mean by this? Perhaps a food comparison will illustrate the point. The book the Lord of the Rings is like Kobe beef prepared by the finest chefs in the world, the sort of experience you get maybe once or twice in your life if fortune smiles upon you. The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is like a high-quality supermarket steak grilled in the backyard by someone who's pretty good at it. The Rings of Power is like McDonald's, but there are times when you really want some McDonald's. In fact, I kind of want a Big Mac after saying all of that, but The Rings of Power is really good McDonald's, the kind of McDonald's you have after driving the car for 250 miles without stopping across one of America's flatter and less populous states. The only place to eat for like a hundred miles in any direction is this McDonald's in the same building as a gas station, so you stop and don't expect very much, but it turns out the fries are crispy and salty and the nuggets are just right.   I don't think it's surprising that The Rings of Power has had such a mixed reception. The Venn diagram of “enjoys Lord of the Rings” has some wildly divergent circles to it and that is a testament to the fact that the Lord of the Rings is such a great work of literature that so many people from so many very different ideological identity groups enjoy and identify with the book. Even ideological identity groups that are mortal foes agree on their approval of the Lord the Rings. So naturally each different group has its own strong opinion of what an adaptation should look like.   With that very long-winded introduction out of the way, I liked season two and I thought it was an improvement over Season One, a lot more narrative tension. Season One perhaps spent too much time setting the table and building context, but Season Two works well in making Season One better in hindsight. The Rings of Power version of Galadriel is improved in Season Two because she was one of the few characters in Season One able to throw off Sauron's mental domination and seduction. The highlight of the season was the toxic dynamic between Sauron and Celebrimbor.  Actors Charlie Vickers and Charles Edwards did an amazing job portraying the slow-moving disaster that Sauron and Celebrimbor's collaboration would create, two intellectual equals working together to create something great, but nonetheless, Sauron twists everything to his own ends. Their final scene together was just astonishingly good. The portrayal of Sauron is both very modern and true to Tolkien, a destructive narcissist who actually believes whatever lies he's speaking at any given moment. He really, truly believes he's going to heal Middle Earth, no matter how many people he has to kill to do it. The scenes with Prince Durin, his father, and one of the dwarven rings of power were great as well. It had the same sort of feel to it as an adult child watching with horror as a beloved parent succumbs to a drug addiction. The best new character the show created (in my opinion) is Adar, one of the progenitors of the orcs. Tolkien himself could never really decide on the origin of the orcs and came up with different thoughts throughout his lifetime. When editing The Silmarillion, Christopher Tolkien settled on the corrupted former elves version, which seems to be what his father had been leaning towards anyway. Rings of Power takes that to its logical conclusion. Adar wants his orcish progeny to live free of the dark lords Morgoth and Sauron, which makes sense because in the books, the orcs hated Morgoth and Sauron and only served them out of fear. Indeed, in The Lord of the Rings, Sauron seems to have secret police and informers among the orcs to keep track of their loyalties. Since the show displays how twisted and cruel Sauron really is, it makes sense that Adar is willing to go to any lengths to stop Sauron, no matter how extreme. The orcs are still monsters, including Adar himself, but they're monsters who want to be free of an even greater monster than themselves. If you've read The Silmarillion or The Lord of the Rings, you'll know all the characters' efforts are doomed to failure, especially Adar and Celebrimbor's, which lends an air of inevitable tragedy to everything that happens. I know some people were mad that Tom Bombadil was basically Wizard Yoda, but I thought it worked. Tom Bombadil is so inscrutable of a character that he can really do whatever he wants so long as he's inscrutable. It was also great how composer Bear McCreary wove a variation of Sauron's theme throughout the show. The soundtrack was A+ work in my opinion. Overall, I enjoyed the show and would like it to continue. If you know the difference between Fëanor, Finwë, Finrod, Felagund, Finarfin, Findulias, Fingon, and Fingolfin (without having to look it up), and in fact have everything about them from The Silmarillion memorized, you'll hate this show. But I think it's worth watching. Overall Grade: A-   Next up is Casa Bonita Mi Amor, which came out in 2024. Way back in the 1990s I saw an episode of Frasier where Frasier and his brother Niles decide to buy a restaurant. A series of hilarious cascading disasters result. At the time I decided I never wanted to own a restaurant and every piece of both factual information and fictional media I have consumed since has not changed this decision. Casa Bonita Mi Amor definitely will not challenge that decision. Apparently, Casa Bonita was a beloved theme restaurant in Colorado that went out of business during Covid. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, decided to buy the restaurant themselves and reopen it. They budgeted $3.6 million for the restoration of the building. Costs soon swelled to $40 million and the problems were still only just beginning. This is an excellent and entertaining example of the “rich man buys restaurant, soon finds himself over his head” genre of documentary filmmaking. Overall grade: A   Finally, my two favorite things I saw in Autumn 2024 and the first of them is the movie Frequency, which came out in 2000. It's another variant on a time travel story, but I like this one considerably better than Looper. Frank Sullivan is a firefighter and devoted family man living in New York circa 1969. His son John is a police detective living in the house 30 years later in 1999 with emotional problems because he never got over his father's tragic death in a dangerous fire 30 years earlier in 1969.   When the son of a friend stumbles across his father's old ham radio, John lets the kid goof around with it. Later that night, John starts talking to someone on that radio and to his astonishment realizes he's talking to his father from 30 years ago on the same ham radio. Desperate, John tries to warn Frank about the fire that kills him and it works. Frank survives the fire and instead of dying 1969, instead dies in 1989 from lung cancer due to a pack a day habit. The scene where history changes and John suddenly realizes what has happened was pretty great, but this isn't the ending. We're only 40% of the way through the movie. John successfully managed to put right what once went wrong.   However, in doing so, he accidentally also put wrong what once went right. His mother is a nurse and in the original timeline was on bereavement leave the day after Frank's death. In the new timeline, Frank is okay, so she goes to work and saves a patient who otherwise would've died in medical error and the patient happens to be the deadly serial killer known as the Nightingale. To his horror, John realizes that The Nightingale is now free to continue his murder spree and his new target is John's mother and Frank's wife.   As I've mentioned numerous times before, I'm not really a fan of time travel stories, but this one was quite well done. Interestingly, the plot structure was similar to Avengers Endgame. The Avengers go back in time to steal the Infinity Stones to undo Thanos' Snap, but Past Thanos figures out what's going on and follows the Avengers back to the present and attempts to make things even worse than they already are. John manages to save Frank from the fire, but this means the Nightingale serial killer survives and might create a worse present than the one John already has, so that really adds an altogether excellent element of dramatic tension to the entire movie. As one amusing side note, this movie shared Field of Dream's reverence for baseball as the Great American Pastime and John manages to convince Frank he's telling the truth about their time travel radio by accurately predicting the outcome of baseball games. Overall grade: A Now the second favorite thing I watched in Autumn 2024, The Grand Tour: One for the Road, which came out in 2024. I admit that when I started self-publishing in 2011, I knew absolutely nothing about the contemporary United Kingdom, like I couldn't even told you whether the UK used the Pound or the Euro. When I started getting book royalties from Amazon UK, let's just say I learned about currency conversion rates really fast, but as UK book royalties fluctuated as they do, I started reading the UK news since when there's an election or major news event in the UK, book royalties tend to drop for a few days after the same way they do when something similar happens in the US. Because of that, I saw the news article when Jeremy Clarkson was fired from Top Gear in 2015 for punching out a producer. At the time, there were some seasons of Top Gear on Netflix, so I was curious and started watching and was thoroughly entertained.   When Grand Tour started on Amazon, I started watching that as well and I was also thoroughly entertained, but all good things must come to an end. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May go on one last road trip adventure across Zimbabwe. The usual hijinks ensue for one last time, and it was a fitting end to Top Gear/The Grand Tour. I'll miss the show, but I am grateful for over a decade of entertainment from Top Gear/The Grand Tour and from the various spinoffs like Clarkson's Farm and James May's travel show. Overall grade: A   So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

Después de los actos heroicos de Beren y Lúthien, los hijos de Fëanor se inspiran para unir a los elfos y sus aliados contra Morgoth. Maedhros, el mayor de los hijos de Fëanor, organiza la Unión de Maedhros, una gran alianza de elfos, hombres y enanos. Sin embargo, las tensiones previas y las traiciones complican sus esfuerzos. Orodreth de Nargothrond se niega a enviar ayuda debido a la animosidad hacia los hijos de Fëanor, y Thingol también se abstiene por el deseo de los hijos de Fëanor de obtener su Silmaril. A pesar de estas dificultades, Maedhros logra reunir un ejército considerable, incluyendo a los enanos de Nogrod y Belegost, los hombres del este liderados por Bór y Ulfang, los elfos y hombres de Hithlum, y miembros de la Casa de Haleth. Incluso Turgon de Gondolin se une secretamente a la batalla con un ejército. El plan de Maedhros es atacar Angband desde el este sobre Anfauglith, mientras que Fingon atacaría desde el oeste desde Hithlum. Sin embargo, la traición de Ulfang retrasa a las fuerzas de Maedhros, y aunque Turgon llega con refuerzos de Gondolin, la batalla se convierte en un desastre para los elfos y sus aliados. La traición y la superioridad numérica de las fuerzas de Morgoth llevan a una derrota aplastante, conocida como la Batalla de las Lágrimas Innumerables debido a la gran pérdida de vidas. La eterna guerra contra el mal sigue adelante. Y ahora... ¡que comience la función! VOZ NARRACIÓN: MARÍA LARRALDE

Aredhel Ar—Feiniel, la Blanca Señora de los Noldor, hija de Fingolfin, vivía en Nevrast con su hermano Turgon, y me con él al Reino Escondido. Pero se cansó de la ciudad guardada de Gondolin, deseando más que nunca volver a cabalgar en las vastas tierras y andar por los bosques, como había sido su costumbre en Valinor; y cuando hubieron transcurrido doscientos años después de concluida la construcción de Gondolin, habló con Turgon y le pidió autorización para marcharse. Turgon se resistía a que se fuera, y durante mucho tiempo no lo consintió, pero por fin cedió, diciendo: —Ve, si ésa es tu voluntad, aunque se oponga a lo que me dicta mi buen juicio, y preveo que será para mal de los dos. Pero irás sólo en busca de Fingon, nuestro hermano; y los que envío contigo volverán a Gondolin tan de prisa como les sea posible... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Así continúa el capítulo 16 de El Silmarillion. Esperamos que lo disfruteis. VOZ NARRACIÓN: MARÍA LARRALDE

The enraged Eldar furiously pursue Morgoth's forces to the very gates of Angband. Morgoth unleashes his full strength on them. Then Ulfang carries out his treacherous plan and attacks Maedhhros from the rear. His forces are scattered and the sons of Fëanor retreat. Azaghâl, Lord of Belegost, and the Dwarves hold back Glaurung heroically. Azaghâl is defeated but he badly wounds the dragon, and the beasts of Angband retreat. Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, and a great army fight against Fingon and Turgon in the west. Fingon faces Gothmog alone. 01:28 Greg reads pages 191-195 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 14:40 Recap 16:05 Discussion "Some have said that even then the Eldar might have won the day, had all their hosts proved faithful." ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch this Episode on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Send feedback to beforethefellowship@gmail.com Follow us as we follow Tolkien: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Rings of Power comes to Amazon, but nothing compares to the real story JRR Tolkien wrote.

Greg, Dan, and Cameron discuss the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien (pages 111-124). "Beneath Ered Engrin he made a great tunnel, which issued south of the mountains; and there he made a mighty gate. But above this gate, and behind it even to the mountains, he piled the thunderous towers of Thangorodrim, that were made of the ash and slag of his subterranean furnaces, and the vast refuse of his tunnellings."

Fingon hears that his old friend Maedhros is captured, he goes alone to rescue him. He reaches the base of the precipice from which Maedhros hangs, and Maedhros begs him to kill him with an arrow. Fingon prays to Manwë to guide his arrow to put Maedhros out of his misery... Three friends read and react to the greatest story you've never heard — the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. 00:58 Greg reads pages 108-111 from the Silmarillion, 2nd Edition 10:30 Recap 11:24 Discussion "Fingon had been close in friendship with Maedhros; and though he knew not yet that Maedhros had not forgotten him at the burning of the ships, the thought of their ancient friendship stung his heart. Therefore he dared a deed which is Justly renowned among the feats of the princes of the Noldor: alone, and without the counsel of any, he set forth in search of Maedhros; and aided by the very darkness that Morgoth had made he came unseen into the fastness of his foes. High upon the shoulders of Thangorodrim he climbed, and looked in despair upon the desolation of the land; but no passage or crevice could he find through which he might come within Morgoth's stronghold."

Kevään eduskuntavaalien alla kehitysyhteistyö on noussut yhdeksi Valtiovarainministeriön ehdottamista leikkauskohteista. Onko kehitysyhteistyössä tinkimisen varaa? Entä mitä kehitysyhteistyöllä ylipäätään voidaan saavuttaa? Vaatiiko tuntuva, todellista muutosta aikaan saava apu ja polku kohti oikeudenmukaisempaa maailmaa kuitenkin kehitysyhteistyön määrärahoja järeämmät otteet? Jakson vieraina ovat Fingon vaikuttamistyön johtaja Ilmari Nalbantoolu, Suomen lähetysseuran johtava vaikuttamistyön asiantuntija Niko Humalisto ja kehityskysymyksiin erikoistunut, Taksvärkki ry.:n varapuheenjohtaja sekä The Ulkopolitistin Aasia ja Tyynimeri-aluetoimituksen toimittaja Lotta Kivinen. Jakson juontaa Annastina Haapasaari.

To celebrate Black History Month, we welcome Tolkien scholars Megan B. Abrahamson and Maria K. Alberto for a discussion on their in-progress research into Black fan art depictions of the elf Fingon. In between Fëanorian apologia, they share what inspired Tumblr artists to break with the 'default' depiction of Tolkien's elves as light-skinned.Note: We experienced some intermittent audio issues while recording this episode. Please excuse the audio quality in places.

Mika Aaltola kertoo, että ihmisten kanssa keskustellessa tuntuu, että nämä kaipaavat eritoten visioita: minne olemme matkalla ja miksi? Jos pari edeltävää koronavuotta eivät jo tarpeeksi vahvasti vieneet elämän peruskysymysten äärelle, niin viimeistään Euroopan olemassaolon perusteita ravisteli vuonna 2022 alkanut Ukrainan sota. Mutta mahtui vuoteen paljon muitakin huolenaiheita: väki vanhenee, demokratia kriisiytyy, väestöpommi uhkaa, 8 miljardin ihmisen laskennallinen rajapyykki meni jo rikki ja kaiken taustalla ihmiskunta ottaa komeita askelia yhä syvemmälle kohti globaalia ympäristö- ja kestävyyskriisiä. Onko ihmekään, jos jatkuvan selviytymistaistelun keskellä tuntuvat päämäärät olevan hiukan hukassa! Nyt on tosi kyseessä ja tilanne päällä, näitä muita asioita voidaan miettiä sitten jälkikäteen, eikö vain? Paitsi että se turbulentti murrosaika, joka tuntuu vievän meiltä kyvyn katsoa tätä hetkeä kauemmas, rakentaa jo tässä ja nyt myös sitä tulevaisuutta, jonka huomenna saamme. Olisiko vuoden vaihtuessa syytä katsoa peräpeiliin, koittaa oppia menneestä ja kääntää rohkeasti katse myös kohti sitä, minne voisimme toivoa olevamme matkalla? Minkälaisille peruspilareille voisi rakentua iso visio jostakin paremmasta ja mistä tulisi keskustella juuri nyt? Uuden vuoden ja tulevaisuuden kuvia - uusia visioita vai vanhoja lääkkeitä? Vieraina ovat Ulkopoliittisen instituutin johtaja, politiikan tutkija Mika Aaltola, Turun yliopiston tulevaisuudentutkimuksen yliopistonlehtori Katriina Siivonen ja Suomalaiset kehitysjärjestöt Fingon kehityspolitiikan asiantuntija Eppu Mikkonen. Ohjelman toimittavat Mikko Kurenlahti ja Hilkka Nevala.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12 —the first three verses there —Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #realtalk #face #instagram #amour #take #couple #dance #dancers #vogue #voguedqnce #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing H

Birds play a massive, iconic role in the legendarium of Middle-earth. From the great Eagles that always seem to appear at the most eucatastrophic moments to the tiny Thrush that proves the downfall of Smaug, Tolkien's love for birds seems to rise to the level of his love for languages and trees! A few months ago, long-time listener, patron, and ornithologist Jonathan Rice sent us a lengthy email about swans, crows, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. It was so interesting that we decided to have Jonathan join us and discuss the role of birds in Middle-earth as well as the accuracy of Tolkien's depictions of birds. This is a fascinating interview, so do yourself a favor and join us!

Jakson on toimittanut Sanna Ra.

Kehitysyhteistyö- ja ulkomaankauppaministeri Ville Skinnari puhui Fingon haastattelussa muun muassa Suomen kehitysyhteistyön painopisteistä, EU-puheenjohtajuuskauden mahdollisuuksista, mutta myös siitä millaista on olla toisen polven kansanedustaja ja kolmen lapsen isä. Haastattelija ja ohjelman tuottaja: Sanna Ra.

Meille toitotetaan jatkuvasti, että kuluttaja vaikuttaa valinnoilla. Emme saisi ajaa autolla, emme saisi käyttää muovia, emme saisi lentää lomarannoille, emme saisi ostaa halpatyövoimalla tuotettuja tavaroita emmekä saisi tukea epädemokraattisia maita matkustamalla niihin. Tuntuu siltä, että vastuu maailmanlaajuisesta uhkatilanteesta sysätään yksittäiselle ihmiselle. Mutta mitä yksi ihminen voi tässä suuressa kaaoksessa tehdä? Voi tavis pelastaa maailman? Voi suomalainen vaikuttaa Brasilian sademetsien säilymiseen tai Hongkongin demokratian tilaan? Roman Schatzin vieraina ovat Greenpeacen Suomen maajohtaja Sini Harkki ja Fingon eli suomalaisten kehitysjärjestöjen vaikuttamistyön johtaja Rilli Lappalainen.

Tämän jakson aiheena on raha. Käsittelemme EU:n kehityspolitiikkaa ja puolustusrahastoa. Studiovieraanamme on kehitysjärjestö Fingon vaikuttamistyön johtaja Rilli Lappalainen ja podcastin reportaasiosuudessa Timo Virtala ja Rauhaliiton toiminnanjohtaja Laura Lodenius keskustelevat Euroopan puolustusrahastosta.

Kestävä kehitys ja Agenda 2030 ovat nousseet uuden hallitusohjelman keskiöön. Mitä se tarkoittaa ja miten pitkälti se on järjestöjen ansiota? Entä mitä jäi käteen YK:n HLPF-kokouksesta? Keskustelemassa Mikael Långström ulkoministeriön kestävän kehityksen ja ilmastopolitiikan yksiköstä, vaikuttamistyön vastaava Jenni Kauppila YK-liitosta sekä Fingon vaikuttamistyön johtaja Rilli Lappalainen.

Ajankohtaista aihetta perkaavat Annika Lindblom ympäristöministeriöstä, Fingon kestävän kehityksen asiantuntija Jussi Kanner ja Fingon EU-puheenjohtajakausihankkeen projektipäällikö Anne Peltonen.

Kausi 2, 8/10. Innovaatiot ja teknologia on rantautunut kehitysyhteistyön satamaan! Fingon asiantuntija Kari-Pekka Murtonen keskittyy työssään erityisesti innovaatioihin ja kehitykseen. Kuuntele jaksosta minkälaiset luovat ratkaisut ovat vaikuttaneet esimerkiksi köyhyyden vähenemiseen ja edistäneet samalla ihmisoikeuksien toteutumista eri puolilla maailmaa. Jaksossa pohditaan myös yrityssektorin ja kehitysyhteistyön suhdetta uutena trendinä.

Pahimmillaan yritystoiminta kehittyvissä maissa tuhoaa ympäristöä, rikkoo ihmisoikeuksia ja riistää työntekijöitä. Miten velvoitetaan yritykset toimimaan vastuullisesti ja miksi Suomessa ei vielä ole yritysvastuulakia? Keskustelemassa Pelastakaa Lapset järjestön vaikuttamistyön asiantuntija Tapio Laakso, Finnwatchin toiminnanjohtaja Sonja Vartiala sekä Fingon kestävän talouden asiantuntija Senja Väätäinen- Chimpuku. Ohjelman on tuottanut ja juontaa Sanna Ra.

This week we discuss Chapter 20:Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad. Characters: Three main camps: Maedhros – son of Fëanor Naugrim – dwarves Newer arrived men to Beleriand – known as Easterlings Men of Bór Men of Ulfang – fuck you Uldor the accursed Fingon – son of Fingolfin A bunch of people in Hithlum? […]

Shout for joy with Fingon as day breaks on the morning of the Fifth Battle, Nirnaeth Arnoediad, in Chapter 20 of The Silmarillion. Shout for outrage at the treachery and brutality of Morgoth’s forces (these are the things we can do without). Elves and Men will shed Unnumbered Tears after Morgoth’s fears of defeat are turned into victory when the Dark Lord unleashes an army more terrible than any ever before seen in Middle-earth.  We dig deep into Tolkien’s early drafts to answer a listener question about Elvish agriculture, Alan goes out of his way to insult several states, and Shawn ignores a simple request from his co-host and reads what he wants, when he wants.

In Chapter 13 of The Silmarillion, Fëanor's host arrives in Middle-earth shortly before Fingolfin's, leading to an awkward family reunion that just gets more awkward when somebody calls Uncle Thingol. Fëanor's dream of revenge goes up in flames, and we tally up his good-or-evil score including Tolkien's own thoughts from his letters. We also read the inspiring story of Fingon and Maedhros, and have way too much fun with the new toy in Alan's studio.

As Fingolfin's host enters Beleriand, the sun rises, flowers bloom, and Melkor attempts to blot out the sun. Fingon searches for Maedros and a way to ease the strife between the groups of Noldor.Join our Patreon for weekly bonus episodes, early access, and ad-free listening: https://www.patreon.com/lotrlorecastAudiobooks.com- Get 3 FREE Audiobooks! https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-100173810-11099382?sid=floreLive Shows and game streams: youtube.com/c/robotsradioTalk Lord of the Rings and join the Robots Radio fam: Discord: discord.gg/JXKfVhMStay plugged in on Twitter: twitter.com/robots_radio Send me a note!
