C'mon...

That guy was just a trouble and had no raison d'être to be. His being just confuses and does not settle anything and gives the story no new direction.

Yes we can play with the early ones, but as Tom has no part in the unfolding of the events, then he's just dead weight? Yes, there was lots before the story goes on and it's nice to see the "older entities", but still, why that kind of a pop-singer in the middle of the story that otherwise is so believable?

Bad-pop, no future!

I second Kuru. The Witch-King is a puppet, and not even an interesting one.

++The Witch-King

PS. Don't you guys dare to kill Maglor! Tsk, tsk. He's a good guy.

I think I'll join morm on the Elf slaugher...for now. Besides, why do we want a winner who was won to win again??

Back to back would be a serious accomplishment...if it is achieved. But, I would encourage for TV rating purposes to hold out on Maglor, all the viewers will be caught up in 'Can it be a repeat performance' hype, and 'How long of a run can Maglor make it...' You want to get rid of an Elf, join me in kicking out Celebrimbor...the guy made some cheap rings to his own profit.

Boromir, I see your point. I'm ready to switch to your campaign if the situation looks bad for Maglor. He's a brother of my favourite, after all. (Though Celebrimbor is my favourite's nephew... Darn.)

What about Ori? He's useless and doesn't have a personality either. Besides, his name means "stallion" in Finnish. Get rid of this dwarf-horse, I say!

I'll go for Ori, I want interesting match ups, feuds, and storylines...Ori just stands there and is non existant anyway. Plus, he doesn't adds no interest to the series at all

Lommy is making a lot of sense here!

Why to carry a minuscule stallion dragging us down here? The lack of personality or any specialness is a reason for lynching that beats just someone being a teflon-faced pop-star...

What exactly does Maglor do except walk around singing and acting all sad and tragic?

Supports his brother (who is lovely) and makes wonderful music!

For one age and something: alternately slaying orcs and kin.

For two ages and some more: well, nothing really. But you have to admire the perseverence in it! It takes a lot to sing and act sad and walk by the shores for several thousand years.

How can you even consider eliminating Maglor?!

Having said that, I'm very fine with the ending of the existance of Ori. What did he do on Bilbo's companionship anyway.
