Now normally, I’d write some kind of lengthy preamble about how different and important Aaron Sorkin’s incredible drama series “The West Wing” was and is. And I probably will.

But, mostly because “The Lord of the Rings” remains one of our favorite fandoms, this featurette from Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” was the absolute standout. Maybe because we heard Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) speak the most important words in the whole of the saga. And, he does it PERFECTLY. IN BLACK SPEECH! But that moment isn’t in THIS video like it was for us in…
