My favorite joke ever is when the hobbits are in the flet, and pippin says he will never sleep because he is scared of falling off. And Sam says something like "Well, once I'm asleep I won't wake up...

I don't mean to ever imply that gollum was purely evil, but the evil WAS much stronger than the good.

Also to clarify, I also think when gollum petted Frodo at Cirith Ungol it was out of...

I think what you have to understand about Sam is that he is emotional, and not very cerebral. HE loves with all his heart, but he hates with all his heart also. He was mean to gollum, but not a big...

OK, I definitely think Sam changed smeagol's mind at the moment and Cirith Ungol. But I think that the movie would have brought up that question. They portrayed it badly. I really don't think...

Well, I like the characters better the way they ended (now I'm on "treason of Isengard" - fascinating - huh?

Personally, I think that the reason many characters are flat is because of the type of story. As was mentioned earlier, the hobbits let us into the...

actually it says something like "when the leaves are gold, at this time of the year"
I was just talking about the point of the sentence - not exact wording

Sting Elrond's big mistake?

I was just wondering if anyone else thought of this - Elrond tells frodo when he is at rivendell to look for Bilbo the next year in the fall, right?

Well by my calculations(and I did doublecheck...

Also, and I think this is probably what was meant by pippin, Pip is an apple seed and "pippin" is an apple - so he is small. That is a more british thing though, I believe.

also, I would say that Gandalf is really not the most humble character in LotR (by a long shot) I love Gandalf, but he is very self assured. Take for example his conversation with frodo when he...

Galadriel I always thought meant "tree-lady" because the "-iel" part means lady and the Galadrim were tree people. But that is not based on fact - just an assumption.

Also - I don't know if this...

It was definitely a loyalty. HE worshiped frodo, but they were not great friends (although they were "on friendly terms") until, probably when Frodo finally realizes that he needs sam at the boats. ...

ONe thing I disliked about the movie was the whole "promise" thing. Sam made no promise to Gandalf. He could have turned back whenever he wanted, just as Elrond said. I don't believe he was...

They must have died - mortality was a gift, just as immortality. But it is fun to make up beautiful and/or melodramatic stories about their reunion

I just thought of something - is humbleness a word - or is it humility (although to me humility is more the opposite of pride, not like working-class)

Well, I hope there are people who DISAGREE!...
