Even Jeff Bezos' son is hoping Amazon's new "The Lord of the Rings" production is up to snuff.

The billionaire Amazon founder told the audience at the show premiere that his son warned him not to mess up the prequel series that debuts on Prime Video this Friday, Variety reported.

"After Amazon got involved in this project, my son came up to me one day, he looked me in the eyes, very sincerely, and he said: 'Dad, please don't eff this up,'" Bezos said, according to Variety. "And he was right. We know that this world is important to so many people, we know it's a privilege to work inside this world and we know it's a big responsibility."

Bezos has a 22-year-old son with his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott.

And there are tons of Freepers which discovered him as well. All he is interested in is great story telling, entertainment, and those things that connect us as humans. Which does not include ham fisted, woke lecturing in everything we get today.

Tyrion Lannister was one of the greatest TV characters ever. I could've watched a whole season of nothing but Tyrion and Lord Varys plotting, scheming, and drinking.

I agree. All the actors who played the Lannisters were terrific. I haven't been able to see that in the first episode of the House of Dragons. All the characters are flat. The actors are medicore.
