Ogres are certainly fantasy even in Middle-Earth but I wouldn't be certain about Giants.See my comment in the "Questions about Stone-Giants" thread.

I think the Balrog may have been attracted by the power of the Ring and that is why it goes after the Fellowship and didn't blame the noise on the Orcs.

Also,the Maia nature of Gandalf might be...

well,Melephelphen they are actually dubbed in two languages. Upper line is Dutch,lower line is French. Quite confusing at first.

I wondered about this too.
They look like this guy to me.PJ might have based them on brontotheres (http://geosrv01.bgsu.edu/Yacobucci/Paleo%20Stuff/Brontothere_head.jpg).

Well, in the song about the Ents and Entwives they say they'll meet 'in the west' and both of them will go this way so I suppose they did eventually go to Valinor. It might seem a strange idea for an...

I'd say Legolas,Gandalf,the Hobbits and Gimli not being too vulnerable to it's power so I'd have to say Aragorn.Not because he is weakest but because he is the most likely to succumb.

I suppose you don't know the power of an elephant (or Oliphaunt) in battle? An elephant can surely kick in the door,so to speak. I wouldn't want to be at the other side of a door with a batter-ram...

Well,The Ring fitted it's size to it's bearer so I'm sure it would have adjusted it's size to Smaugs claw. That would have possibly made it large enough for Bilbo to use it as a hoop! ...

I think Sauron could have made an alliance with Smaug (or make Smaug believe this was the case but in reality using him.)

The idea of Smaug getting the Ring from Bilbo is very interesting....would...

I think these Giants represent a different species of humanoid,untold of elsewhere in Tolkiens work.
They certainly weren't Hobbits,Dwarves,Druedain or Elves. No need for explaining why.

Near the end of RotK the Fellowship, Elrond,Galadriel and Celeborn visit Isengard. Treebeard then mentions something about Orcs coming but being defeated by the Ents and 'the great ones gathered...

I think Denethor was very well done. He was really bitter and so mean to Faramir. The running off to fall was over the top (no pun intended) though.

If Dwarf Women resemble Dwarf Men so greatly that others can't hold them apart and Dwarf Men allways have beards,it's only logical to assume the Women did too.

Spawning pits are a movie thing.Fact is,they're never mentioned in the books while the Silmarillion says something like "the Orcs multiplied in the manner of the Children of Illuvatar" Nuff said.
