... that's actually not a bad idea.
I just seriously doubt that the team writing the script has the chops to pull it off, given how it's going so far.
It would be a good idea only as far as it makes a good story. If they followed the books closely, this will already be the case and Sauron already has an interesting backstory.
Agreed. And I have very little faith in Amazon's ability to get what was written onto the screen without screwing it up wilfully.
