If Lord of the Rings was a soap opera...

Yes, i can imagine that too... But, the ring changes for it's bearers. So, here is a little example:

Ring before (Gollum):





Ring After(Frodo):

Well, well... we can see someone's desperate...

So the Ring must have been some kind of Goth girl when she was with Sauron? Or maybe a female version of a ring wraith. No wonder those Nazgul follow her around so much.

Heh, quiet humorious. But, i intended that earlier picture to tell what happens when you spend almost 400 years down in a water resivour with Gollum ...

Well I am envisioning a very bad soap opera where there are more planks in the cast than supporting the flimsy set. The title would surely be "The Road goes ever on"... There is so much material possible that you could start with the Great journey!!!! Hmmm give me a little time

I picture Aragorn as the sleeze of the show, who falls in and out of love with about every woman on the soap opera. One episode he marries Eowyn, couple weeks later, a drastic breakup and he flings with Arwen, and then the vicious cycle starts all over again.

Denethor, I see as this mafia leader, and he's trying to get his sons to carry along the family tradition. He is like the ringleader of all illegal actions on the show, but for some reason the Police Commisioner (played by Gandalf) can never pin him with the crime, and he always gets away, to continue his malfeasance!

I agree with Boromir that the Aragorn-Arwen-Eowyn love triangle would make some great soap opera material. Eowyn and Arwen would probably have some kind of show down, where Arwen would insist that she was pregnant with Aragorn's child, and Eowyn would confess that she is dying of some rare African disease.

Then, of course, there are the denied homosexual feelings between Frodo and Sam. Sam would become jealous of the ring, because the ring is seducing Frodo for his money to enable him to get back at his former lover, Sauron. But as it turns out, the ring just wanted to use Frodo as a vehicle to get back together with Sauron. But Gollum is unrequitedly in love with the ring, so he trys to get with Frodo in order to get back with the ring, but is constantly thwarted by Sam, the true "nice guy", who has true love for Frodo, and is tormented to watch all of this drama play itself out in front of his eyes.

These rock, you guys! If I wasn't in a public library right now I'd be laughing out loud, possibly on the floor. But I'm in a public library right now.

I can definately see that love triangle. Hee hee... some rare African disease. So soapy!
