Could Lord Of The Rings' Gollum Appear In The Rings Of Power?

This episode examines the potential for the character Gollum to appear in the television series The Rings of Power, despite the show being set thousands of years before his birth. The author highlights that while Tolkien's original timeline presents significant chronological hurdles, the showrunners have already demonstrated a willingness to compress time and reorder historical events. The episode notes that the series has already introduced the Stoors, the specific Hobbit ancestors from whom the character descends, providing a narrative foundation for his arrival. Potential methods for his inclusion include future season arcs, epilogues, or a significant departure from the source material's history. Ultimately, the source discusses how the production might bridge the massive temporal gap to feature one of Middle-earth's most iconic figures.
