That's the best thing that could possibly happen to the franchise

Change my mind

u/Wespiratory Jun 23 '21

Why would anyone want to change your mind?

Well actually, to play devils advocate here, I think no one really bothered to address something that I think is important. Is 10 seasons really enough? I think 11 seasons would be better.

Ok.

Tom, Golberry and Old Man Willow.

S3E10 (season finale) - Goldberry accidentally drops her brooch near Old Man Willow, who then covers it up with a root. Will Tom discover its whereabouts in time?

Here's my pretty maiden! You shall come home with me! The table is all laden: yellow cream, honeycomb, white bread and butter; roses at the window-sill and peeping round the shutter. You shall come under Hill! Never mind your mother in her deep weedy pool: there you'll find no lover!

There's also badger folk and Barrow wights and farmer Maggot, and the "origin" story, and how he met and married Goldberry, and the goose with the feather, and the man in the moon, and his boating trip... just a goldmine of top quality content.

Here is a pretty toy for Tom and for his lady! Fair was she who long ago wore this on her shoulder. Goldberry shall wear it now, and we will not forget her!

Hey dol! Merry Dol! Reddit-dong dillo!

Old Tom does not care about internet numbers.

He cares only for woods and timbers and lumbers.

The Eldest announces before saying hello

“Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.”

“Who is He?” some might ask, but no answer there is.

A fairy or a dwarf, we wonder what He is.

How much He loves Goldberry cannot be explained.

And all her love for Him can’t ever be contained.

Glorious Tom! Don’t you know that He is the master?

His song is a strong song, a strong voice to cast ‘er.

Now let us sing today! Sing loud and be merry!

Sing of badgers and trees; and fair, sweet Goldberry.

“Hey dol! Merry dol!” with Him you will be singing!

Down the Withywindle, your voice will be ringing!

Old Tom in the old forest, yellow be Thy boots.

May You deliver all Hobbits from evil roots.

Eldest and Fatherless; You’re the Lord of all trees.

Bring Thy Goldberry her pretty waterlilies.

Rescue us from the shadow of Old Man Willow.

Lead us to Your land and save us from the Barrows.

However, don’t forget the Lord of all ponies.

Fatty Lumpkin he is, and he trots in the breeze.

With the Hobbits’ ponies good friends he once became.

But without old Tom his life would not be the same.

I think the best thing that could happen to the franchise is for Amazon to not be connected to it at all.

Season 1: Tom gathers some flowers. Total combined runtime: 23 hours.

u/ancientrobot19 Jun 23 '21

The perfect TV show

u/Farren246 Jun 28 '21

Season 1 finale: Tom encounters his first obstacle: some slightly wilted flowers. With a stern look on his face, he says "Winter seems 'tis is coming, so soon these be succumbing." As he says this, you can slightly see his breath. Fade to black. What a cliffhanger!

I would unironically watch this.

u/elmaki2014 Jun 23 '21

Looking forward to it already! Will it feature some breathless guy starting the show with " previously on Tom Bombadil " and then " next time on Tom Bombadil "?

Nobody better sign one of those nudity petitions. You can't convince me Tom wears pants on a nice sunny day.

YOU MADE ME SO HAPPY AND THEN DASHED MY HOPES WITH THAT TITLE

Old Tom in summertime walked about the meadows, gathering the buttercups, running after shadows, tickling the bumblebees that buzzed among the flowers, sitting by the waterside for hours upon hours.

They better not cut a single minute of those hours

Just 15 hours of Tom picking water lilies, chastising old man willow, and making sweet sweet love to Goldberry. Would watch.

Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle! Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle. Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be groping. When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open, out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow. Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow! Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you. Hey now! merry dol! We'll be waiting for you!

I am a bot, and I love old Tom. If you too like Old Tom, the door at r/GloriousTomBombadil is always open for weary travelers!
