Brilliant vid, Dan! Great to learn the full context of the words I voiced for it! (I’m a fan, but not a Tolkien scholar like Dan). Thanks for all the kind words too, peeps, hope I’m doing Húrin justice!

[@ballin0ut0fCtrl]

You did a fantastic job, David. Nice work!

[@phillairious]

You did an outstanding job as Húrin! I'm looking forward to hearing more from you in the future!

[@DanielSennaOfficial]

I love this series! Are you planning on continuing it? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@LOLrus11]

Please continue this series, it has helped me so much in reading and enjoying the silmarillion and I will honestly feel lost without this companion series for it.

[@josephhoskins7354]

Please continue this series. I've just rewatched it for the second time.

[@FreestyleFitnessUSA]

I’m so sad that this series is not complete… 😢 It’s been so helpful for me. I’ve listened to them all three times now, and every time I catch something I had missed before.

[@nuhamohamoud6308]

Hey Dan, please continue with the Silmarillion explained, love the videos

[@roshniaamom7089]

Happy new year! Please do continue this series! You gave insights that I have not seen elsewhere and it would be a real shame if this was not completed!

[@rarknivesandleatherwork8045]

It's 43 years since I read The Silmarillion so your summary and explanation videos were perfect as a reintroduction. Being retired I indulged myself by binge watching all of them in a day. Like several others who have commented I really really hope you get around to completing this series. I've enabled the notification bell in hope of seeing chapter 19 appear! Meanwhile I'll settle down with the very same book I read back in 1979.

[@shanenolan8252]

Bravo dad of geekdom .

[@Desertninja173]

May 2023, on the last video! And my heart is broken, muster the rohirrim and fight on sir! We need more!

[@colekimball4945]

Just binged all of these over the last few days. I look forward to the rest! Beren & Luthien, the wizards coming to Middle Earth, I can't wait!!!

[@storiesnotstuff]

Are you okay? Why didn't you finish? Right before 19 😢 x

[@thebrotherskrynn]

This video was perfect! Your dad is such a talented man my friend, cannot wait to hear him once more as Hurin & to see your Beren and Luthien video. Am really excited to hear their voices!

[@SquantoShinyShorts]

This is the best series on the silmarillion please continue lol

[@mero2845]

Recently watched the silmarillion explained playlist and i loved it. I hope that you can conclude this series. Keep up the good work

[@kevinlloyd7545]

Gotta say, ive watched about 5 of your vids now and i am thoroughly won over. You know your sh*t and with relish. Look forward to seeing more from you. Thank you for your time.

[@janakitejeda275]

i love this channel, i had an accident that that does not allow me to long books or anything really and this audiobook channel has been lovely, thank you.

[@richardfairley9882]

I've found this series exceptionally helpful - what happened? I hope all is well.

[@amandab7962]

I’ve adored this series, thank you so much for making it. As others have said, I hope you can continue at some point in the future. Such an excellent series!

[@samuelbattershell3413]

Your father has the weight and authority of a king of men, a chieftain of the Edian, a lord of elf-friends in his voice.

[@sunflowerbeth3830]

I'll try my best to pop in. Much love and support 🥰✌🌻

[@MustafaAhmed-us1ro]

Is there going to a continuation on this series??? We need them back please

[@tjbrooks_me]

When is the next chapter coming out?

[@VoiceofGeekdom]

Potentially late October. I'm quite busy at the moment!

[@Provostwillem]

Hey are you planning on finishing this series? Been binging it.

[@Wesomusicusa]

Amazing videos, sad to see you haven’t finished the book !

[@WhoIsCalli]

Terrific series so far. Loving every one of them! And having your father guest voice a character - what a lovely touch 😊

[@thomasferraro479]

Great to hear your Dad in the video!

[@meghdadandarabi3131]

if you are reading this father, thanks for your contribution. 😍

[@javiervenegaspicero3597]

I love this playlist so much! Wonder where I can find the next chapter and the ones that follow!

[@DrTSquare]

I love how you spotted the fact that the sons of Ulfang following Caranthir were the ones that were traitors, while Bor and his sons remained faithful. I love how you pointed out how it’s telling of the characters of the children of Feanor.

[@nicwestra2088]

I really hope you continue this series. It would be very dossapponting if you did not. The year break from videos is bad enough. Why start if you won't finish?

[@MJC1891]

Dude so great. Love your brake downs. Some of the best.

[@nataliamorelos6374]

I’m reading The Silmarillion for the first time and all of your videos have been really helpful! When are you going to post the next chapter? Can’t wait!

[@shay2276]

I've been watching these videos as I read the Silmarillion, and I'm finding them very helpful. Im looking forward to the next installment!

[@austingoodnight6976]

Loved this series, as I am reading the Silmarillion for the first time, it has helped me understand what's going on in Tolkien's world. When are you continuing this series?

[@divinemental]

I sincerely hope Dan didn’t die. Pls finish this series mate!

[@arvetis]

My brother how can you stop before Beren and Luthien How can you forsake us like this

[@TheMarineIguanaStudios]

A few months late to the game, but kudos to Daddy Geekdom for the awesome performance :)

[@tjk3430]

Oh no I guess I'll have to finally pick up my copy of the Silmarillion and finish where this left off. I'll be back to hear the rest though. Thanks brother!

[@viggoxp7246]

MOOORE LETS GET THIS SERIES FINISHED

[@ballin0ut0fCtrl]

Bro, I’ve been checking almost daily for the “Of Beren and Lúthien” vid since this one dropped. How can I help you put this video out? I’ll join your Patreon if that’s what it takes! I’m fading fast! 😜

[@KendallLankford]

Did you stop making these?

[@larrymcgovern]

Dan, thank you for these videos! This past summer, I read the Silmarillion with my high school age daughter as we prepared for The Rings of Power, and your videos were indispensable to understanding and enjoying the text. We’re really looking forward to your video on Beren and Luthien, our favorite story from the text. We’ve also really enjoyed the new RoP series, and would love to hear your analysis when Season 1 is over.

[@VoiceofGeekdom]

Thank you so much!!

[@Parmetheus]

"When the world needed him most he vanished" Here's hoping you continue this series, I really enjoy your explanations 🧙‍♂️🧝‍♂️🐉

Please continue this series. You did a splendid job, and I love to hear your description of each chapter of events.

Why are you not making more videos in this series?

[@lukeelkins2242]

I have watched every one of your videos in the last 2 weeks whilst concurrently reading the Silmarillion. Thank you so much for helping me understand. Shout out to Dad of Geekdom as well for his excellent voice acting!

[@elizabethjansen2684]

the best voice actors I've heard. Even professional audios rarely do as well.

[@WillFredward7167]

For your father’s voice acting, I can think of know kinder words than that I thought you’d hired a professional. Though for all I know, he might be one😊

[@lucasbocalon4949]

Oh I’m so sad to see that this series hasn’t finished 😢 is the creator OK? We are still up for a continuation 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@akiiKOMORIai]

I am so heartbroken to find out you stopped at CH 18. These videos have helped me so mucb resding this for the fkrst time. I dont know how im going to understand the rest of this without your visuals and explanations.

[@elivestich7308]

Come on man! Just before Beren and Luthien? Has Melkor imprisoned you? Please come back!

[@endconnr]

What it ends! Noooooo! What!? It is so close to being complete. I have been accompanying this with each chapter on my first read thru. Please finish it! You are a hero and we do not deserve you!

[@funkdoc2001]

Great job dad! Another really helpful video. Any sign of chapter 19? 🙏

[@athenaspsyche]

So it's been a really long while and there are no new videos in this series. Does that mean you won't finish it?

[@zeratulcraft]

Beren and Luthien! Time to listen to Nightfall in Middle-Earth and Karliene's Tolkien songs.

[@Ian-Saxon]

Great to see you back with another excellent upload Dan 👌 the story of, and the fall of Gondolin is I must say my favourite of all Tolkiens works along with the tale of Beren & Luthien.

i cannot find the continuation of the story, is that because its yet to be made or is this the last episode?

What happened?

So... is this over now?

[@andycortes123110]

Hey Dan, I'm sort of new to your channel and a first time reader of the Silmarilion, been enjoying the book a lot and watching your videos is also part of why I'm enjoying it, it's very informative hearing you break down each chapter, really helps me understand it more, love the series a lot, I understand you're taking a break from the series and working on other things, looking forward to watching more of this series and THE RETURN OF THE KING!

[@Corporal-Clegg]

Dearest Voice of Geekdom, In the halls of my mind, I have found solace and delight in your masterful retellings of the tales within the Silmarillion. Yet, my heart longs for the tale of Beren and Lûthien, a story that holds great significance in the woven tapestry of Arda's history. The passage of time feels as heavy as the weight of the One Ring, as I patiently await your next installment. When shall the echoes of your voice grace our ears with this enchanting tale? Your channel has brought new life to these stories, and we, your loyal audience, yearn for the day when Beren and Lûthien's love shall be celebrated in your esteemed portrayal.

[@themadotaku]

I really appreciate this series. I'm reading along for the first time and just a little ahead of you now. It's been so helpful for understanding what's happening and commiting it to memory better. I enjoy your art selections and the voice acting. I know this takes a lot of time/effort and you're a busy guy, so I really want to thank you for making such an excellent reading companion. I'm very much looking forward to the rest, particularly the next chapter. Keep up the great work! Tolkien fans are very lucky that you share such wonderful content with us.

[@abubakartahir2736]

In a week, I have watched all the Silmarillion Videos, I don't read books but this has made me order the book, I can't wait. whilst on the topic of waiting, we are eagerly awaiting the rest of the chapters. cheers.

[@connielewis3623]

I love Morwen so much. Her life was really hell though even before the events of CoH and fun fact!! The art used here that was done by forestials was done by my request!

[@VoiceofGeekdom]

It's a lovely piece of work! There aren't that many renditions of a young Morwen out there; most focus on her reuniting with Húrin after the events of Narn i Chîn Húrin. I love their depictions of Nerdanel and some of the other women of The Silmarillion, as well. :)

[@connielewis3623]

@@VoiceofGeekdom I write a lot of stories about younger Morwen so I've gotten some wonderful illustrations for it including the other one forestials did that might be my favorite. It's Morwen and Túrin post Nirnaeth

[@bill6177]

I REALLY hope you continue this series! I LOVE IT!

[@groovinhooves]

Shadows cast by an arch deceiver may "lie" in any or all intransitive verbal senses of that word - a 'pleasant' mixture of them all, perhaps...?

[@groovinhooves]

Tolkien did not choose "lie" lightly, without thought for anything other than poetic meter. Upon that you may depend.

[@shaunlan5193]

This series is so excellent! Thank you!

[@NoxAtlas]

You see that Tolkien was heavily inspired by Norse mythology as most names almost sound the same. Take a shot every time a dude's name in a mythology or saga starts with "Thor" and you'll die of alcohol poisoning. Easy for the author, makes sense for the characters but is a pain in the ass for readers not familiar with the culture or language.
