Alan Sisto

you know, working on the story.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

If it's told as a flashback and we get Eleanor kind of playing a role, I like that idea.

This is interesting.

What should we think?

Truth be told, I am going back to earlier in this episode, right?

Truth to tell, I have been burned a little bit with my optimism.

Over the last few years, as you and I have spoken about a few times, I was deeply optimistic about Amazon's Rings of Power.

And in some cases, I've been proved right.

There's some great elements to that show, but there are some that are less than great.

And so I've probably become a little more skeptical, not cynical yet.

I think I've avoided cynicism.

I think what I am now is hopeful rather than optimistic, if that makes sense.

In other words, I'm not expecting anything, but I am hoping for good.

And there is a part of me that thinks if there's anybody who I can count on...

to be relatively faithful to the Lord, it's going to be somebody like Stephen Colbert.

Yeah.

You and I have talked about that before.

I want the kingdom of Arnor and the split into the, the, the, the, the three other kingdoms and the death of Arvid.
