I'm sure the TV series will be like LOTRO or the films, I can tell it's Middle Earth, some "off menu" changes I will really like, some I wont but most importantly do I enjoy it, in its own right? If I do I'll watch it if I don't I won't and it will have no impact on me reading the books, playing lotro or watching the films. Perfect example, the Hobbit films, I thought were awful, watched once never again did they make me change how I feel about lotro, lotr books or lotr films, nope.
