Our Reactions to ‘LOTR: Rings of Power’? + a ‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ spoiler-free discussion

The Squad! books a few giant eagle express tickets and returns to Middle Earth to cover the two-episode premiere of Amazon Prime Video’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Set in the Second Age, long before the events of the original trilogy, we follow elves, men, dwarves, and hobbits – I mean er, harfoots – as darkness falls across the land and plans for a great forge are laid.

Next we zip over to the Star Trek universe to discuss a lesser-known but refreshingly hilarious Star Trek: Lower Decks animated series. Ever wonder what’s happening beyond the bridge? Curious about the stories of the lower-ranking cannon fodder that keep the ship running? For Star Trek fans of any intensity, Lower Decks is a refreshing counterpoint you can binge all two and a half seasons of right now on Paramount+!
