Though I'm a little of a Tolkien purist, I normally quite all right with any minor changes to stories.

As long as they keep with the theme and the plot of the Second age (the main historical events) and they keep the characters not out of tune (if you know what I mean), then I'm quite fine with what will happen in the Tv series.

Besides if you have the series cover every single part of the Second Age as exactly as Tolkien had written it, then it would be a little dull to watch. (Not that the Second Age is boring, but a book is a different medium than films and episodes, and you can't hold the attention of your viewers as long as with a book). It's also good to have a bit of a mystery in the story.

Sorry for the long post.

P.s. They have John Howe as the concept artist
