Wow, Manwe, I think you were smoking Old Toady when you came up with that one! I mean, I'm a huge believer in parallels between SW and movieLOTR. How'd you like the Nazgul/Frodo scene?!?! "I'll never join you!" *flap* *flap*<P>Gollum is Darth Vader. There is good in him. I can feel it. He even felt Frodo's presence... well, sleeve, but you know what he was getting at. <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The other character that could be redeemed (as foreshadowed by actions in The Two Towers) was Gríma. It's very subtle, but after he is telling Saruman the weakness of Helm's Deep and Saruman shows him the assembled Uruk-hai, he (Gríma) sheds a tear. It seems as if his background as one of the Rohirrim hasn't entirely left him, and he could be ready and willing to abandon Saruman when Gandalf and Théoden come to Isengard. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Interesting perception. My take on that was that Grima was struck by the evil beauty of all that destructive power, and was moved to a tear of pride or happiness or something. Glad to get another perspective. Time will tell. I don't expect something as complicated as the Redemption of Wormtongue from PJ, though.
