I humbly aplogise if this is kind of off-topic... I want to point out that even though Gollum may not have made a tragic sacrifice (though that would have been quite touching), does that mean he was...

In LotR there is one passage that always makes me if not laugh, then at least smile. Or this one, also (suprisingly) by Gimli: But, though all my favourite comical parts involve Gimli, I think...

Rhod the red, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you in this. Gandalf does change. He is somehow more distant and more god-like, and therefore less like an individual character.

I think I would...

I had no ideas of what should my screenname be, so I decided to call myself Glaurung. I've always liked dragons very much, and Glaurung especially. So that's it. Nothing interesting, I must say... :)...

I agree that in leaving some things incomplete, Tolkien made his readers even more excited and interested in Middle-Earth. Also, it is worth consideration that in explaining every little detail,...

I myself guess that Tolkien wouldn't be very satisfied to the movies. Of course they bring more readers to his books. But still, sometimes when watching the movies I wonder if Tolkien would have...

In the movies I simply adored the music. The landscapes (especially the Shire) were magnificent, of course, and some of the actors were outstandingly great (eg. Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Ian Holm as...

Interesting question. Probably it would have some orcish features like a human orphaned to a wolf's family would have some features of a human(this was an extremely stupid example, but anyway). BUT I...

ha ha ha... :D Excellent point, I dare say... Never thought about that, really, but I have to agree with Nogrod here (though comparing Tolkien and the nazis might be a bit of an overreaction...). By...

Still babbling about Gollum... Of course it sounds stupid that Gollum would be a deux ex machina, but doesn't it sound weird that such a story as LotR ends when a skinny little creature just slips...

I suppose I myself am a world-lover, though I love the story too... :eek: Maybe I am a 35% story 65% world LotR fan. I think at first I was a story fan (might be because I was very little when LotR...

Tom has always been a mystery to me, and I suppose Tolkien meant him to be one. I've also been wondering who really is the oldest of all beings of Middle-Earth. Celeborn refers to Treebeard as the...

An interesting topic... I think it would be very weird if the eagles wouldn't refuse to do that. They weren't very interested in the wars of men anyway, were they? And even if Gandalf would have one...

I'm Glaurung.. I've never been a member of any forum, so don't mind if I make some silly mistakes... :D This just seemed so interesting, that I decided to join in anyway. Hope this...
