As a companion to doug*platypus's <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=002565" TARGET=_blank>Where and Back Again?!</A> thread, this thread is designed to celebrate that wonderful old trick of making the audience fear that a major character has either died or is about to die. I think the trilogy collectively sets a record for most seeming deaths that is not likely to be broken anytime soon.<P>Without even having to think about it, there are at least three "Is he...?"'s for Frodo: (1) skewered by the cave troll, (2) stung by Shelob, (3) whoops! over the cliff and (almost) into the Fire.<P>Can you think of more "Is he...?"'s?
