Dongfeng Race Team Onboard Reporter Jérémie Lecaudey describes how his crewmates differ in their behavior when taking the helm:

It took me a while to understand that Pascal was driving, his body against the stack of sails, one of these stylish positions that some drivers end up having. Stu puts one of his hand upside down, Charles drives like a cowboy on a big truck, Daryl… looks like he’s driving his own car really… he’ll talk to you in 30 + knots and still follow your conversation as if nothing was happening when you’re s*** scared, every wave stopping the boat from gliding perfectly on the ocean unlike tonight, the boat smoothly follows the waves and gain speed up to 20 knots in the gusts.

Daryl’s average when I look at the polar percentage is always around 105, surely one of the best but what the hell, Jeremie, Carolijn, Jackson, they are all the best at it anyway…

Then Freya stirred and spoke with a clear voice, indeed with a voice clearer and more powerful than Samuela had ever heard her use, and it rose above the throb and turmoil of Mount Doom, ringing in the roof and walls.

‘I have come,’ she said. ‘But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. The Ring is mine!’ And suddenly, as she set it on her finger, she vanished from Samuela’s sight.

You know, Amazon could just do this. That’d be 100% okay with me.

If amazon tries to sex up lord of the rings to compete with game of thrones i will raise Tolkien from the dead myself to tell them to fuck off

I haven’t read up on this at all. I have an odd (to me) attitude about Amazon doing some kind of LOTR adaptation. I know the odds are it will be terrible, because the odds are that any screen adaptation of a beloved novel will be terrible. Even the people who delivered an imperfect but wonderful adaptation like the LOTR movies still screwed up The Hobbit.*

*Not really the same people. Not completely screwed up in every regard. Not my clown/not my circus. I’m glad you love Tauriel. This is an infinite-possibilities/infinite-fandoms-friendly blog. YMMV. PDQ. KTHXBYE.

But.

I’m okay with them doing this. It might actually be okay. Exhibit A in my Might Actually Be Okay case: The 2005 P&P. Which had no business being made, because a perfect and wonderful and impossible-to-improve-upon adaptation already existed. So I went and sat in the theater and said okay, Joe Wright, do your worst. And… it was enchanting and wonderful and completely different and yes it was bound by its runtime and okay if forced I have to say Jennifer’s Lizzy reigns supreme where Keira’s, to my mind, merely did what she had to to make the beautiful images work but that’s just me and it’s not a contest and there are different kinds of perfect and don’t make me use the asterisk again, okay?

The point is I loved it. And even a chance for something like that is worth many, many things that suck.

I did see a tiny something about the Amazon thing that seemed to imply it would be Silmarillion-based rather than Third Age? Which, if true, go get ’em. But even if not, go make this thing that’s completely different than the source material, and problematic like GOT is problematic compared to ASOIAF; I don’t care. I mean, I care. But it doesn’t exist, and once you’ve made it it will exist. And in order to live in a world that has beauties that pierce like swords and burn like cold iron; in order for hearts, wounded with sweet words, to overflow; in order to pass in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness, you have to let people make things. Even if most of them suck.
