I honestly do not hold up either actress from the movies as a model of beauty. (Now Miranda Otto on the other hand...)

In the book, it's hard to say, having not seen either of them. I am sure that...

I believe it was in one of the Histories of Middle-Earth that Tolkien wrote about how the art of ring-making was studied deeply by Saruman, in hopes that he too could one day obtain the ability to...

Having read the tale of Turin in The Silmarillion (and I think some of it was featured in Unfinished Tales, or perhaps the Book of Lost Tales Part 1), it is one of the darkest and most depressing...

Never saw him fighting Sauron, dude. Elendil and Isildur were mainly shown doing that. Gil-Galad was just shown stabbing someone. For such a pivotal character, he got precious little screen time. And...

I was mad at both of them after reading the story.

I believe that in The Hobbit, it is mentioned that Lakedown had seen fireworks, not necessarily of Gandalf's making. I would agree that the fireworks might have been the result of Gandalf's power (he...

Not possible. Absolutely inconceivable for there to be a train in Middle-Earth. I don't mean to sound unkind, but the answer comes as much from personal desire for there NOT to be a train in...

I don't think anyone, even the uninitiated, seriously believed Aragorn died at that moment. :)

I suspect most of us, if we met a true Elf, would be like Sam. Delighted, and come away the better for having met one, delighted at finding a creature more noble and higher than ourselves. (Remember...

I think Jackson's representation was great. It was made out of Yak hair, and neither too messy nor too kempt. Not too dirty, but not some glossy girly mop either.

Somewhat off-track, but don't you find it interesting that Tolkien specifies "never again as living man"? Does this not hint towards a return in another state? I've often puzzled about the end of the...

I agree; I don't think Aragorn was playing with her. He was interrupting her testosterone kick by catching her blade with his. (And yes, blade on blade, very bad.) He wasn't playing, and he wasn't...

There is the factual error that Tolkien's Middle-Earth has no God, because Illuvatar, Eru, The One, first sang Middle-Earth into existence.

And I think that readers of histories (The Silmarillion...

Tolkien Aragorn in Moria?

Like many here, I reread the trilogy somewhat frequently. I'm rereading Fellowship now, as it has been longer than usual since I've gone back through the books. And like most things you reread, you...

I do not think this is plausible. The fire brought by the (senseless) guards was real enough. Pippin feared for Faramir's life because of the flames. And Denethor's groaning in pain couldn't be just...

It's clear from conversations between Bilbo and Frodo that Bilbo had NOT seen the Ring. He wasn't completely sure it was even in Rivendell to begin with.

As for Shelob, it seems Gollum, who was...

Inconceivable!

I have photographic proof that that would be, as the immortal Vizzini said, inconceivable, in fact that the entire run of Denethor would be completely and totally inconceivable!
