[Hot, crispy nice hobbit]

Gee, I am back for more in the morning I know that I am a Nazgul raver last night; I still am, but I think I mean what I said when I said that the Nazgul are indestructible, though I should have added "except by prophesy, destruction of the ring and prolonged exposure to songs about Elbereth". <P>Sure, they fled from Aragorn who was wielding a couple of firebrands, but they fled unscathed, except for the Witchking who got hurt by Frodo's utterance In the film, the one of the Nazgul remained behind for some reason, and got set on fire! Now, in the book we are told that the nine Nazgul attacked Gandalf at night, and there were a great fire show on Weathertop just before Frodo & co. arrived. Yet, Gandalf could not withstand against all the nine, and was chased after by just four! Do I see some imbalance of physical and magical power down here?<P>Oh, that scene where the Frodo OFFERED the ring to the Nazgul: I am not talking about the winged beasts. Nazgul cannot be hurt by normal weapons except when induced by prophesy (not that we are told that in the film) One thing I am certain of is that the Nazgul really did not see the ring any more after Weathertop, and I am completely smashed by that scene alone. Here we have the Ringbearer practically giving the ring to the Nazgul and that Nazgul just sit there waiting for an arrow to pierce his mount so that he can fly off?!? It just plainly does not make any sense!<P>By the way, the Nazgul did not just use fear as a weapon, though it worked best most of the time. The Witchking used his sorcery to break Frodo's sword and make him dumb and Black Breath is even more horrible. But obviously, with everyone so interested instead on the Aragorn's ghost army, no one would be bothered about these minor tidbits.<P>Urm, I guess I really need to tone down my voice on this... it is not very nice to whine about the films even when if I like the book. I guess I am the only one about who like to whine on the Nazgul though <BR>
