It seemed to me that the power of the ring was the main (only?) reason for Gollum's long existence. He was a halfling-relative species so he was a mortal being with halfling-length lifespan. I think...

Sure! He's a fighting man, a soldier. Even in his depictions in paint from the brothers Hildebrandt he wears a helm. He's pretty high up on the ladder of importance, being the Steward's son, I've...

I was born and raised Roman Catholic and when I was old enough to learn fantasy from reality, I gave it up. I absorb more Christian views watching five minutes of Monty Python's "Life of Brian" than...

Merry and Pippin were an integral part of the tale of the Ring. With their help, directly or otherwise, they managed to have a hand in some major events (Eowen,Ents,etc). I'm still not positive that...
