Hello,

I too fail to see the logic in your point about how LOTR is flat and two-dimensional, maybe another read would cure that short-sightedness. I addition, your point defending Sauron as being...

I agree with the Knight of Gondor, Minas Ithil(then Morgul) was a Numerorean creation and the statues outside where rather fitting but extremely inaccurate. The Orcs destroyed, they did not build. In...

Someone earlier stated that the throwing of the palantir was not a significant action in the book but i would disagree completely. The use of the palantir by Pippin forces Gandalf to speed on to...

I believe that Sauron's power was very great indeed, he was the lieutenant of Morgoth, his second in command and this certainly demonstrated his power or at least his malevolence. He was skilled in...

If this is such a stupid point please shout at me very loudly. As u said Smeagol would not be able to endure Valinor. Why tho, was it because he was an evil being? If that was the case then Melkor...

As a Silvan Elf Legolas's longing for Valinor would be subdued until he saw the saw or in his case as in Galadriel's messages heard the sound of gulls. Legolas and Gimli both make it to Valinor as...
