I'm surprised that no-one picked this up. Bilbo was NOT the only one to have given up the ring. Sam wore the ring for an extended time on the borders of Mordor, and gave it back to Frodo.

Interesting quote Phantom, and in this context it made me think of something (which is probably why you posted it). I'd be willing to bet that hardly anyone ever thought about Gandalfs age, so a...

I don't favour the idea that Aragorn was a 'wizard's pupil'. TA2956 Aragorn met Gandalf and they became friends. Aragorn was 25 at the time, but had lived at Imladris for 18 years, and had been...

The thing about the killing of Saruman was that it was a murder, albeit commited under extreme provocation. Neither Aragorn nor Eomer would have committed murder under any circumstances, indeed, I...

If Sauron did not trust men, why was the lieutenant of Barad Dur a man who was deep in his plots? In the whole history of the Ring never once did a being already in the service of Sauron handle it. ...

I don't think Gothmog was a Nazgul for two reasons: The Witch King wouldn't have tolerated a being with as much power as one of the other Nazgul in his place. Instead he would have had a lesser...

On Orodruin, the light of the phial of Galadriel went out after Gollum went over the edge. Would this not point to the power being lost immediately. Sauron's power was lost instantly, and the Elven...
