Like a Phoenix from the ashes...in our recent obituary for MTV Geek we noted that the NY Post's Parallel Worlds site also seemed to be gone. And indeed, a NY Post website design claimed its young life. However, undeterred, editor Den Greenfield has teemed up with Asbury Park Comicon's Cliff Galbraith for a NEW SITE, 13th Dimension.

Galadriel, Arondir and Marnûkh stage a rescue in Gundabad on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 3, episode 4, which combines a shocking conclusion with an unexpected reveal in Numenor, and some questionable decisions for the titular story and the drama in Khazad-dum.
