During & after my holiday in September I reread Pinto's Stone Dance of the Chameleon, and what occurred to me is that there might be something worth writing about re. the reception of LoTR in both this series and B5, and how the theme of power is treated in all three canons. (Possibly power and love, although I'm not sure if this applicable to LoTR. Then again, on second thoughts, it actually might be in some respects.)
So, since I'm probably going to have time & mental energy on my hands for a while now (bye, bye job, I've bitched about for 15 years, although through no fault or effort of mine), is this worth writing about? Or just a random collection of three canons I happen to know?
The question also is, do I actually want to re-read 1.400 pages of LoTR, on the off-chance that something actually might come off it? And re-watch B5, at least partly?
Decisions, decisions.
(But hey, it's good to have the mental space for decisions like this again. Yay, temporary freedom.)
