![]() OK, my fault. I knew I'd burn my wings when talking of things I'm not sure of. I confess, I haven't read the Silmarillion. Nevertheless I have read elsewhere of the waking of the elves, and there... |

![]() I agree on the Ring changing size for it to fit Hobbit fingers, but I disagree on the weight. The Ring getting heavier as Frodo approaches Orodruin is purely the Ring's affect on Frodo and it's not... |

![]() The names of the first-born Elves are given in the Silmarillion, and Tom isn't in them. I won't address the issue of Tom's beard. smilies/wink.gif |

![]() Oh, ok! Agree on that. That can be explained with the loss of motivation, as I stated previously. Wormtongue, Sméagol was a Hobbit. A primitive form of them, at least. Their descendants were the... |

![]() What makes you think that Gollum lost much of his memory? As for the aging, 500 years in the company of the Ring makes you very lustful of it. Gollum was merely alive after Bilbo took the Ring from... |

![]() Of course there is an analogy between Hobbit & Human ages. Say Men reach maturity at 18; if Hobbits reach maturity (for the sake of the comparison we'll admit both physical & mental) at age 33, then... |

![]() That's a good idea, though it would definitely have to be in RotK. We meet Faramir in TTT, so maybe the flashbacks (if any?) will be then. In Henneth Annûn maybe? Flashbacks would introduce Denethor... |

![]() Bilbo's farewell party takes place 50-33=17 years earlier than the Council of Elrond (Frodo's 50 in the rest of LotR and 33 in the party). That means it's in 1418-17=1401 SR. Merry, Pippin & Sam were... |

![]() There was no indication against the theory that it was Caradhras itself that refused to let the Fellowship pass. Saruman had probably nothing to do with it, and Sauron even less. |

![]() What do you mean lathspell? If Frodo was dead, there's no reason to rescue him in the first place. It would be too late if he was dead. If Sam succeeded alone, Gwaihir & Gandalf would rescue Sam only... |

![]() Sorry to be perfectionist, but what we call the (recent) Ice Age took place about 65 million years after the extinction of the Dinosaurs. It ended some 10-12,000 years ago. |
