Yeah I know that feeling Gorwingel. I felt to ignorant and had not but the slightest hunge of a clue what everyone was talking about. I tried a few threads but I was always redirected to the novices and newcomers section.
I felt so stupid. Then I read lotr. And I hardly ever go to the movie forum anymore. Maybe after Rotk. But not sure. The thing is, that if you read the books, you finaly feel like a real downer. That was my opinion anyway. Someone who has not read Tolkien can of course go to the books, it is free to anyone. But if you only say: Wow did not know that, or : is Tom really a Maya, what is a Maya they sound cool? it can get really annoying in my opinion. And I urge to say: My opinion.
But the Silmarillion was indeed an enlightment.
Suilad,
