  • The podcasters know their subject, but lack true understanding of the story (e.g. failing to recognise that an Orc-wielded Morgul weapon would be less deadly than one wielded by the Witch-King), and criticised the introduction of the female elf Lauriel (whom they repeatedly and discourteously dismissed as "the chick") while not objecting to the introduction of the male character Alfrid.
