When I finished reading TTT, I was absolutely stunned... you know, how the last sentence is something like, "Frodo was alive, but in the hands of the enemy." I remember closing the book with a...

Expanding on Aina's idea about elves making educated guesses... I suppose that, after living for hundreds of years, you begin to see patterns emerge and realize that everything repeats itself... so...

I wanted to trust Gollum, and I was hoping that he would change... but after "Journey to the Crossroads" I suspected that he wasn't. I was really disappointed that he betrayed Sam and Frodo, but I...

The whole Frodo-and-Sam-yelling-at-each-other thing does happen in the books-- just later on, I think. In ROTK, when Sam offers to carry the Ring, Frodo says, "No, no! No you won't, you thief!" ...

I was really surprised when I first heard LOTR fans complaining about the movies. The LOTR movies were the first movies-from-books I ever saw that actually did justice to the books. Sure, they...

Wow, that's amazing. I wonder if the Shire was inspired by these places. I've also heard that in Scotland there are lots of Shirelike green rolling hills... I've never been there though.
