Cameron KunzelmanHOST
And he lists some stuff.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
The fall of Gondolin, the lay of Beren and Luthien, in verse, the children of Hurin.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
I am distressed for myself to be unable to find the Rings of Power, which with the fall of Numenor is the link between the Silmarillion and the Hobbit world.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
But its essentials are included in chapter two of the Lord of the Rings.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Yours sincerely, Ronald Tolkien.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
So it sounds like from this point, right, like he's got some of the big pieces.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
We got the Fall of Gondolin, the Lay of Beren and Luthien, and the Children of Hurin, right, which are in the big tales of Middle-earth.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
These are the big ones.
Corey OlsenHOST
Yeah, when I think about it conceptually, really, I would call, rather than saying we end season seven with Aure and Deluva and Day coming again, and then in season eight, like the anticipated day comes, like the anticipated day does not come again in season eight, right? Instead, how I would characterize it and why I think, what I, why I felt that survival was a really great suggestion for this theme.
Corey OlsenHOST
It's like Hurin's cry of day coming again is just continuing to echo throughout season eight.
Corey OlsenHOST
Like the, it isn't, again, day isn't coming again really anywhere, right? It's just, but there is yet a determination, like a stubbornness that day will in fact still come.
Corey OlsenHOST
And so we're going to hang on.
Corey OlsenHOST
awesome Awesome.
Corey OlsenHOST
Okay, so let's think then, let's look at some of the ideas here, some of the specific storylines and things.
Corey OlsenHOST
So we have Morgoth and Hurin is the first one that we're talking about here.
Corey OlsenHOST
Now, Phil, you're connecting this with, we've got a couple things already, right? We've got the House of Hadar theme.
Medi Ann VolpeGUEST
But if you take it freely, I will say that your choice is right.
Medi Ann VolpeGUEST
And though all the mighty elf friends of old, Hedor and Hurin and Turin and Beren himself were assembled together, your seat should be among them." Elrond puts Frodo and the story in a really interesting place.
Medi Ann VolpeGUEST
Because he doesn't put Frodo in the beginning of the story, he puts Frodo at the end of the story.
Medi Ann VolpeGUEST
It's almost like he sees into Frodo's heart and says, yeah, this is going to happen.
Alan SistoHOST
Then he went swiftly away towards the north, as one in pursuit, or on an errand of great haste, and they heard him cry, until his voice died away in the woods.
Alan SistoHOST
But they knew not that Nargothrond had fallen, and this was Turin, son of Hurin, the black sword.
Alan SistoHOST
Thus, only for a moment and never again did the paths of those kinsmen, Turin and Tuor, draw together.
Alan SistoHOST
Christopher gives us the exact same moment again in the appendix to the Children of Hurin.
Alan SistoHOST
He's very careful about where it comes from, the prose saga of the fall of Gondolin that was begun, his word is probably, in 1951.
Alan SistoHOST
He quotes the description of the man in black, and then in his own voice tells us that that was Turin, hastening from the sack of Nargothrond, and that Turin and Voronoi did not speak as he passed.
Alan SistoHOST
Little indeed do you resemble the kin of Hador, whatever your name.
Alan SistoHOST
And what do you know of them? said Turin.
JessicaHOST
And then we get kind of the reversal of that in season two.
NorthieHOST
I also like from a legendarian perspective as well, and it could just be coincidence, but I like the light touch on Morgoth's successor with Hurin as well, and how because he failed to give information, Morgoth then threatened to kill, torture his children and watch them die in front of him, which... is pretty much what Galadriel says to Adara.
NorthieHOST
So I think, like you were saying about that darkness of it, it's a setup that if you continue to go down this path, It's a very dangerous road and it's Halbrand Sauron of all people who pause her in that moment.
NorthieHOST
So it's not nice to hear.
Corey OlsenHOST
Because, again, I think that Androg...
Corey OlsenHOST
I mean, once Forwig is gone, Androg, in the text, I mean, in all of the texts, including the Children of Hurin, Androg, after Forwig is gone, is the one who is like...
Marie ProsserPANELIST
Doing everything.
Corey OlsenHOST
Yeah, he's like the second greatest outlaw after Turin.
Corey OlsenHOST
Like if Algon can basically say, you know, It was chaos.
Corey OlsenHOST
It was chaos.
Corey OlsenHOST
Like I, I know I should have, like, I should have tried to get back to Lord Hurin.
Corey OlsenHOST
Uh, you know, I, I didn't, you know, but like, you know, we were, we were surrounded and, and like we were afraid and, and Forweg led the way.
Matthias AustinHOST
And we read in The Silmarillion, But now in the western battle Fingon and Turgon were assailed by a tide of foes thrice greater than all the force that was left to them.
Matthias AustinHOST
Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs, High Captain of Angband, was come, and he drove a dark wedge between the elven hosts, surrounding King Fingon and thrusting Turgon and Húrin aside towards the fen of Serech.
Matthias AustinHOST
Then he turned upon Fingon.
Matthias AustinHOST
That was a grim meeting.
Matthias AustinHOST
Then Gothmog hewed him with his black axe, and a white flame sprang up from the helm of Fingon as it was cloven.
Matthias AustinHOST
Thus fell the High King of the Noldor, and they beat him into the dust with their maces, and his banner, blue and silver, they trod into the mire of his blood.
Matthias AustinHOST
And after that battle, the Balrogs are again absent from the story, and Glaurung took center stage in The Children of Húrin.
Matthias AustinHOST
And I've got four episodes about that story, so check them out if you haven't.
ReneHOST
Uh, it, this is, I mean, this is, uh, this is ancient, um, like, past ages level of, uh...
ReneHOST
There was a, I wanna say this was about the Noldor, um, Hurin split.
ReneHOST
Like, it's basically-
JessGUEST
So even if you-
ReneHOST
There was a...
ReneHOST
I want to say this was about the Noldor-Hurin split.
ReneHOST
Like, it's basically, it is ancient history.
ReneHOST
Yeah,
Jonathan WatsonHOST
I know.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
It's so sad when we do something so awesome like, like The Children of Húrin, we're in the hundreds of views.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
Like, literally, like we drop.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
Like, YouTube just is, is meh.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
I mean, the, the, the, the podcast downloads are still at the same level.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
Everybody's listening to that.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
But the YouTube, man, YouTube, YouTube can't give us anything when they, when, when we throw up The Children of Húrin, and then you throw up the Rings of Power, and we go literally from like 300 views on YouTube to like 9,000.
Jonathan WatsonHOST
[laughs] They're like, "Oh yeah, you're gonna hate this show.
