Loved reading this!

I know Frodo had the burden of being the ring-bearer and whatnot but Sam's loyalty, bravery and sheer force of will, have always made me root for him as the 2nd greatest hobbit. (Bilbo still leads for being the pioneer).

And Ted Lasso! So psyched for the new season. I know what you mean about waiting to watch the show at a run, but it runs the risk of encountering spoilers on social media. Besides, I am desperate to know what Nate has been upto.

Thank you, Rohan! I think that film Frodo was a bit of a different prospect than book Frodo who was far more resourceful and smart and brave than just the sort of "helpless" Elijah Woods naturally exudes with that hair and his baby blues :) But I agree with you that Samwise is love.

I don't mind spoilers for shows like Ted Lasso, to be very honest, it's much more the journey for me, so I'm fine taking the risk.

Yeah, very valid point on the Elijah Frodo being more hapless than in the book.

I gave in. Watching every Ted Lasso episode as it drops. 🙈
