First of all, he's a dragon. And I also rather like his talk with Bolbo in the Hobbit.

Personally, I have to go for

++ Sauron

When it comes to dragons, I'm with Anne McCaffrey: the bad ones get all the press. And if came down to Melkor versus Sauron, I'd be interested in seeing who actually comes out on top.

...though how anyone can prefer those Pernese pet dragons to Smaug is beyond me.

By the way, Steve, who's Bolbo?

Hey, he's the Once and Future Evil. He'll be back for Tolkien's version of Ragnarok, and as Durelin said, Grima is only semi-evil or evil-lite.

You've got to be kidding. Morgoth? He is not half as interesting as Gríma. Come on! Gríma:

1. Throws Palantír out of the window
2. Stabs Saruman
3. Looks at Gandalf like mad when he asks him whether he does not want to leave Saruman
4. Eats Lotho (okay, we didn't want to hear that)
5. Was a noble of Rohan (combine with the one above) and served his master honestly in the beginning
6. Was seen riding with a group of Orcs
7. is son of Gálmód, which just sounds too cool
8. was being picked up from the saddle by Treebeard and later, he was swimming to Orthanc.

And, eventually, in one version of the Hunt of the Ring, he was caught and intimidated by the Black Riders, WK himself, no less.

Morgoth was just a Dark Lord. We have seen many of those, he invented lots of interesting dragons and such, but then, that's just his job. Gríma is a MAN with a LIFE. He is very interesting.

++Gríma Wormtongue

Battling dragons...

Hey Tuor, why don't you pit Smaug and Glaurung against each other next round?

That would be cool.

Not necessarily. Smaug is the coolest dragon ev@, while Glaurung is just a witless worm.

Gandalf asked Grima if he liked hobbits and he thought

I'd hate to see Morgoth winning too, but Wormtongue even more so. I can't believe he's made it this far and for him to eliminate The Marrer himself just isn't right. He ain't worthy to kiss the soles of ++Morgoth's iron boots.

Hmm. Anti-dragon sentiment? Now who wished that there might be no
border between Orthanc and Mordor so they'd go against each other?

And anyway, that would be interfering in the brackets. Of course, it
would probably help Wormy. Hmm...........!

1933: Walsall 2-0 ArsenalDivision 3 South Walsall faced a hopeless situation when they drew first league leaders Arsenal for their 3rd round FA Cup playoff. At the time, the professional Arsenal team was worth thousands of pounds, whereas little Walsall’s team cost only £70. However, Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman made one fatal error. Believing the result was a foregone conclusion, he rested three of his top players. Walsall took its chance and scored two unanswered goals, to hand Arsenal a humiliating defeat.
3) 1980 Miracle on Ice U.S.A. over Russkies

2) Kim Cattrall upsets tennis fans:
Quote:
SEX AND THE CITY star KIM CATTRALL has angered sports fans and shown her lack of tennis know-how at the opening of the US OPEN championship in New York.

Kim - who plays sex-mad SAMANTHA in the hit show - was at Monday's start of the tournament when she walked out of the match between LLEYTON HEWITT and VICTOR HANESCU at an inappropriate moment.

The 47-year-old actress left at the end of an even-numbered game - angering spectators, who know you should only leave after odd-numbered games, when the players are swapping sides.


1) Frodo does not win Middle-earth Popularity Cup !

On to the semi-finals!

Carcharoth vs. Smaug
Glaurung vs. Grima son of Galmod


Next: Carcharoth vs. Smaug

Hooray! Gríma rulezz!!!

I like the way it came out, even though we could have been a bit more original still, but good, good. Thanks to good master Noggins, we have neither Sauron nor Morgoth here. Just a pity no Orc made it through...

As for the current match:

Eye

An argument for The Red Maw could be
that he was the greatest wolf to ever live (and
took out the Hound of Valinor ) while it
would hardly be argued that Smaug the Magnificent
was the greatest dragon to ever live (and, after all,
he was taken out by one human archer).

Just saying...

Now, as for voting...um...(later).
