Not a chance they'll cut the Sam-Ringbearer part. Not only because it's a touchstone of the story, but also because it's so emotionally powerful, one of the moments that play into Hollywoods...

Gandalf wasn't 100% certain of the fate of all the Dwarven rings. I've long felt Gloin's sudden discomfort at the Council in Rivendell when the subject of the lost dwarven rings was brought up...

Chance? Or the deliberate intervention of the Valar?

I'm rereading the Silm for the first time since 1983, so be patient as the rusty wheels turn.

The Valar, Maiar and in fact the elves too by...

Fingolas, if I may add, I think there was a fourth remaining, but it looked only to the sea.

You're very welcome, Lush, and well come and well met Lostgariel! I'll be sure to check it out. I find both Viggo and Elijah to be interesting personalities off-screen.

Kalimac, interesting points all. Yes, Saruman's remark was well-aimed, but not the final straw.

I actually feel it was Sam's marriage to Rosie that was Frodo's final undoing. Bilbo age and...

Yes. The article is quite right. It is just like that.

A second chance was hinted at by Gandalf as well. What would it take for Saruman to redeem himself, given Galadriel's exile and her refusal of the ring finally allowing her to return?
