Swimming against the tide Ardamírë?

but not 'kick[ing] against the goads,' I'm sure. ;)
There is a long tradition in Arthuriana of grouping, ungrouping, regrouping, retelling, re-translating, reimagining and even continuing what are considered the original tales.
In a similar vein, I have to believe this is a sincere attempt to bring this material back into the light, to encourage people to engage with it for the first or twentieth time. The timing suggests that viewers, rightly I think, will want context for what they are watching. HarperCollins has been a good steward and presenter of Tolkien's works for decades, and I thank them for it.
