The thought of "Middle Earth X-Files" just popped into my head. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You might want to include the Dreudain / watch-stone question, and (maybe) the Barrow-wight.

Those mysteries and anomalies really provoke questions that can never be answered, but they add to the interest of the entire work. The stories, after all, have from the beginning contained a lot of elements that defy the natural as we know it. To be honest, I never really stopped to try to "logicize" Bombadil, Beorn, et. al.; I just took them as they were and enjoyed.
