NEEEERRRRRDDDDD! Thanks for the very sensible nerd words, MartinEdic. I never made it thought the Sim but it's good to hear from someone who has that they're reasonably on point. Personally, I'm enjoying the series more than the Jackson movies. The first episode was a bit slow and disjointed, but that's just because they decided to introduce so many principal characters all at once. (A questionable choice IMHO.) It really picked up in the second episode.
