It's called morning wood. It's normal.

oh thank God.

plot holes all over the place in that one.

ok a summary of what gandalf does: gives the ring to a child (ring = all of fate), and then goes and pisses around for ages in libraries and on his ass. story moves along and we find him chatting to a moth for a friggin age, or he becomes a moth and flies away, but point is, he does nothing again, remember he is a wizard, i'd be getting my wizarding shit out all over the place, there'd be hobbit babes all over my pad.

also did anyone else think that the eagles at the end could have just flown one of the guys TO the firey pit bit and they could have thrown the ring in then.

i watched it the other day aswell. it's realllly long

hobbit babes?!

come on none of them are really that babe like, elves surely.

also yea the whole scary eye thing, good point, idunno how he became that, they skimmed over the details a bit there, did his own eye get massively enlarged? or is he just looking through a massive magnifying glass so it just looks huge? or maybe youre just meant to accept it and not question it etc.

The Silmarillion covers a great many things not dealt with in the Lord of The Rings. Unfortunately (for many people,) it reads much more like a history book, and less like a story, so many people have a hard time getting through it.

YOU DARE QUESTION THE POWER OF SAURON?? <<poof>>

Problem 1: the sauron problem:

*Simarilion explains most of Sauron's life. In short he was kind of an immortal shapeshifting tool that took power himself during the First Age but was defeated a few times and couldn't fully take physical form anymore. Cutting off the ring kinda punched a hole in his balloon-like form again.

I guess those sneaky hobbitses needed to go and destroy the ring in secret since the eagles wouldn't be able to reach the firy pit cuz of the nazgul air police. Ok,maybe if Gandalf rode on Gwahir (the coolest of the eagles btw) and used his famous light burst attack again they might have been able to pull it off.

Problem 2: the morning wood problem

depending on your personal preferences there are many options to solve the problem:

*wife/girlfriend/drunk stranger laying next to you
*Clarkebar/any other willing member of the kamikaze gay army
*cold shower/picture of your mother
*left hand/right hand
*oven fresh pie with a comfortable 30-35°C temperature
* ///censored: ewwww - that stuff is illegal in 48 US states you perv - if you are even remotely thinking about the other possibilities here, I will report you to kdicefreak ///

Anyway, these questions have been circulating on the forum a few times now. Vermont, I suggest you add both problems to your FAQ

ready and willing

hmmm Kgay, if you had logged in as Sophalis and wrote that, I am sure you would have managed to have a few nerds rushing to the airport.

But nevertheless, best of luck with fulfilling your dreams now too.

The Sauron thing:

The bad guys and good guys had rules of engagement. The Nazgul couldn't use their flying thingies for half the campaign and were not supposed to go west of the River. And they didn't know at first exactly where the Shire was. So a nine-Nazgul flying Chinese diamond may not have been the best search strategy. And commando-style landing behind the Minas Tirith walls just doesnt have the pizzazz that knocking down the gate did.

Eagles were noted for their policy of noninvolvement.

In the book, Sauron has already been killed/stunned before the ring was cut off his hand. He had played his hand (no pun intended) too soon.
