Yeah. Sad to say, but yeah.

I suspect I'm not in their demographic either in that regard. I just don't care much about age appropriateness (with regard to what I want to watch).
These books were such a huge part of my teenage/young adult years that there's no way I'm not going to give it a shot.

Your TEENAGE years? Oish, now I feel really freaking old. WEALLY OLD.

The advantage I have going in, is that I don't really NEED the show to be anything: good/bad; canon/completely off the rez; LoTR/Not LoTR--if I like it, I like it. And if I don't... oh well. No harm, no foul.
I do think they're very smart to hedge their bets on the High Fantasy vs Post-apoc SF front, though. Should garner them a decent mix of fans of both--depending on how they ultimately play it.

Yes, you're probably right, but I admit, codger that I am, the modern spin on it, mixed with dwarves, (or dwarfs, depending on who you're reading), elves, magical hero's quest, magical items, shadowen, etc. is sorta off-putting to my OCD brains. But who knows? I may love it. I'll definitely try it; I'm not yet so set in my ways that I won't even do THAT.
