Gandalf, Moria, and Arrest - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It's always sad to see a situation end this way. At the end of the day they're only books, and there's enough strife in the world without people getting up in arms over fiction. Ah, well.

Anyway, it seems obvious that neither Aragorn nor any other member of the Fellowship had the desire to stop following Gandalf, no matter the misgivings about their situation. He was the de facto leader from the start, and that too was never in question.

Look at the bright side, Gandalf is now safe from arrest or being bitten to death by Farmer Maggot's vicious dogs. It's a win-win situation.

Indeed. But it was probably doomed from the start– I suspect ”Moonraker" of really being a sock puppet account for a certain troll who was banned a few years back.

The Barrow-Wight Himself has ordered us all to get back on track– only, what is "on track", at this point?

You may be right.

As far as this thread is concerned, its premise was settled for me from the get go.
