Hmm, good point, Formandacil. I had forgotten about the fact that Gandalf wasn't a man, just a maia in a man's form. And that the Balrog certainly wasn't "normal". I guess they could survive a...

It was certainly longer than mine! (Which was basically "Hi, I'm new.") Welcome to the Downs, Formandacil, and I hope you enjoy the book forums, if nothing else. I know I do.

I just thought of another! The completely random Rohirrim dude that walks by with a greyhound in RotK when they're all standing around in Meduseld trying to decide what to do. I've always thought...

I don't think so. If Tolkien had just wanted her out of the way, he could've killed her off just as easily. If not even easier, because a death, perhaps even an accident, would've been easier to...

AbercrombieOfRohan, eh? Is that a spin-off of "Gap of Rohan", the oldest LotR joke in the book, that's oddly still funny? :D

Oh, yes, the doe-eyed Rohirrim children are adorable! And they also double as the (still) doe-eyed Hobbit children Bilbo is telling his story at the party in FotR. Did anyone else notice that?

I've just done a search at both CoE and The Encyclopedia of Arda, and neither mention a "Narfforc" under any category. Where'd you get this information, Narfforc?

Oh, really? Our mystery blond elf being Thranduil or Oropher makes sense. Although I agree, PJ is waaaay too fond of historically-rare blond elves!

I agree with dancing spawn of ungoliant's assessment of Liv. She had the whole "aloof Elf princess" thing down perfectly, and she can't help having crummy lines. And, yeah, her voice is a bit...

Your right, Boro, your question is entirely different than people making up sexual relationships (sometimes homosexual ones) between LotR characters. In fact, I've often wondered the same thing --...

Oops! Yes, I guess I did. I'm not into anything "new age", so to me "spiritually" means "religion". I thought being affected "spiritually" meant being more religious because of, I don't know,...

I've seen it, too, and can think of no better word than "interesting" to describe it. It was slightly amusing, until I had "boil 'em, mash 'em, stick-them-in-a-stew" in my head for days and was...

Yeah, good point. I wonder if the One Ring controlled all Rings of Power in general, or just the ones he and the Elves made? Moot point, because no one else made any, I know, but an interesting...
