More to the point, why didn't Gandalf and Elrond save everyone a lot of time and trouble and just hand the ring to Gwaihir and let him fly into Mordor and drop the ring into the fire? |

Why didn't Morgulduin pollute the lower Anduin?
As they left Henneth Annun Frodo and Sam were warned by Faramir not to drink any water emanating from the Morgul Vale. Yet the Morgulduin flowed from there into the Anduin at Osgiliath. So was the... |

Come to think of it, once Boromir lost his horse at Tharbad, if he'd followed the road (the Greenway) he'd have arrived at either Sarn Ford or Bree, and from either of those places got a fresh horse... |

The dilution of Elven blood and subsequent mortality
Imrahil of Dol Amroth "had Elven blood in his veins" but was mortal. Does this mean that as the proportion of such blood is diminished in succeeding generations via marriage with mortals, that the... |

Gimli's forgetfulness?
At Helm's Deep Gimli tells Eomer: "till now I have hewed naught but wood since Moria". And yet when Boromir died Legolas told Aragorn that he and Gimli had killed many Orcs around Parth Galen. ... |

Mauhur and his lads
If memory serves correctly Gandalf was in Fangorn at the same time as Mauhur and his "Lads". Why didn't Gandalf use his powers to stop them? |

Manning the Rammas Echor
Tolkien stated that the Rammas Echor was "ten leagues or more" in length. How many men would Gondor have had to devote to garrisoning an out-wall that length? |

Why didn't Galadriel warn Aragorn that Boromir wanted the Ring?
Galadriel must have known before the Company left Lorien that Boromir wanted the ring. So why didn't she at least warn Aragorn? Or better still, detain Boromir in Lorien? |

How did Gildor's messages get to Aragorn and Rivendell so fast?
Aragorn told the hobbits in Bree that he'd received messages from "Gildor's folk" concerning their plight. Glorfindel stated that he'd received messages too. How did they do this so fast? |

From Tom Bombadil's house to the Road
When the 4 hobbits left Tom Bombadil's house to make their way to the Road, why didn't they just ride north along the eastern edge of the Old Forest rather than getting tangled up in the Barrow Downs? |

Yes, there WAS a ship that "would bear her hence", because after Aragorn died Legolas built one. And it's possible that Cirdan was still living at the Grey Havens at that time. |

It just struck me that not one of the Fellowship has a spouse. Except Aragorn, Sam, Merry and Pippin for sure. And it's perfectly possible that Legolas and Gimli eventually had wives too. |

In addition to the men in the Vale of Anduin, Woodmen of Mirkwood and the men of Dale (which was a sizeable realm at the time of the War of the Ring), what about the men of Dorwinion ? |
