* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: While its usage in the series often causes SoundtrackDissonance, the music itself can be pretty darn good at times. The most prominent examples include the Nazgul theme (which is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4YnjQepUzk "Fire"]] by popular Soviet electronic composer Music/EduardArtemyev), referred to by fans as the [[FanNickname "Ringwraith Rave"]], and the opening and end credits songs. The latter two were commercially released in 1996, alongside other pieces from the series, as part of composer Andrei Romanov's LP ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUcKewkhfl4 Music of Middle-Earth]]'').

Added DiffLines:

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The piece that plays as the hobbits set out on their journey is a thinly-veiled take on Music/JethroTull's "Music/ThickAsABrick".

** Also like ''Film/TheHobbit'', this series pulls a GenderFlip on a canonically male elf. While that trilogy [[OCStandIn merely created Tauriel out of the nameless Captain of the Guard]], ''The Keepers'' went all out and made Legolas a woman.[[note]] It is possible that Legolas was meant to be a CrosscastRole, but if so, [[IncrediblyConspicuousDrag they didn't do a particularly good job at hiding the gender of the performer.]] Ultimately, the character [[TheVoiceless never speaks]] and is [[GenderNeutralWriting never referred to by any pronouns]], so it really is [[AmbiguousGender anybody's guess.]] [[/note]]
