I've always wondered this, too. Did Elrond take a sample from the Ring and toss it into the cracks? "Yep, it disolved, just like we thought." How could they have possibly known for certain that Mt... |

Well sure, but not all at once. Is it possible for anyone other than Eru to be omnipresent, or at least for their will and perception to be omnipresent? That doesn't seem possible. So naturally there... |

Who in the world on a battlefield reacts to getting attacked by being "stunned"? Who's going to have that reaction? I have a little something to say about this, because a while ago I got bit by a... |

Essex has proved that it is somewhat understandable for TWK to fall down. I'm perfectly willing to accept that. But what I don't think anyone can explain is the complete helplessness of TWK after... |

Funny thread. Ha ha! :D Taking the French approach, I see. What would I do? Hmm... I know! I'd start a rumor that Turin came back to life, then I'd paint a sword black and charge at them.... |

Obviously, yes, in some ways that must be true. If inconsistency exists but is not noticed by someone then that person is definitely less... what should I say... observant. There's no denying that.... |

Oh, I'm sure I'm not the only one here who loves sarcasm. But if it bugs you that much I suppose I could cut back a bit. :rolleyes: Yes, and the Merry/WK incident is not possible, just as the... |

You've gotta be kidding me. You'd choose a greater number of book scenes over coherency?? Even if PJ makes a change, you want him to be faithful to the book in a later scene and ignore the... |

Yes yes, Essex, Merry was "overlooked" in the movie, just like in the book. I never complained about that. As "Tolkien tells us"??? How in the world does that relate to the movie? You are speaking... |

I thought that every blade that touched TWK was supposed to do that. Did Eowyn's not bust? Or did she drop it too quick to tell? Yeah. Can you get any more addle-brained, PJ? Bring in some little... |

Well, that's all fine and dandy for you, but non-readers certainly can't do this. There is no way for non-readers to reconcile the silliness of the WK's death. Yes! Thank you! It was a problem... |
