Huh. Tolkien was very specific about Tom's wardrobe, and the photo doesn't match that at all. Of course you'd expect Tom to change his clothes at least once in 3,000+ years. But I'd have envisioned Tom to be utterly unchanging -- he is the spirit of the forest primeval. I also always envisioned him as beardless, though I don't think that's justified in the text. If he's "oldest" he'd probably have a very long beard if he had one at all, but his behavior is youthful and I envisioned his appearance to match. Regardless, I hope they get their feet under them in season 2. I've heard almost exclusively bad things -- some of which sound merited, others not. So I wasn't rushing out to watch it, though I'd love to have a great new thing available.
