Where is the website which talks in depth about Black Speech? I'd like to give that one a look. Although I fear it'd probably be a bit sanctimonious and offensive with the suggestion/implication that...

Sting Democracy in ME?

What serious notions of democracy do we see in ME? Sure, Sam was the Mayor seventeen hundred times but this was really just a micro-scale rural deal. What instances of democracy and election were...

It is an interesting question, made even more pertinent by the abundance of nice pearly whites in the movies, and the contrast of Wormtongue's horrible teeth.

Maybe they used blades of grass like...

Bugger, I know! I knew I'd make a mistake or two, trying to think about three ages worth of stuff. Forgive me.

Sting Ponderings about the fates of the Noldor, Galadriel and what it all meant.

I was thinking before about the fate of the Noldor, specifically those who left the West to come to Middle Earth. This includes those who swore the Oath of Feanor and those who didn't. I recalled...

I wouldn't say irrational, more naive. Call me an idealist eh?

I have a real problem with this, like the rule about not 'fellowshipping' with liberals at Eruwen's school. Religion is one thing, many schools are religious across the board and this is perfectly...

I don't think anyone thought they were explicitly gay, just that by modern standards the Professor's description of their companionship and closeness raises eyebrows. Nor do I think here people even...

Whoa, slow down!

Having seen a few of these sites, I imagine the purpose was irony; in most cases the creators of these spoofs are among the most ardent fans. If you hated something so much, why...

I agree with Child, the style of writing reflected to mood of the story at that point and it was insightful of his to actively adapt it.

His origin of species stuff didn't bother me, actually....

Hmmm. It seems I shared many of these opinions, despite never having considered them. The Eagles do seem somewhat of a cop-out escape each time, but I like the Manwe connotations and the idea that he...

I wasn't referring to the Rangers disappearing in terms of thin air and their duties, more the tag of 'Rangers' itself. With the Re-united Kingdom, and Aragorn's promise (and subsequent undertaking)...

What is known about the time period of Elven rembodiment after they've spent time in the Halls of Mandos? Would the period of time spent 'dead' differ depending on the way they had died, and how they...
