gollum

Hello! So I stumbled upon something! This quote: "I wondered often how Gollum came by a Great Ring, as plainly it was - that at least was clear from the beginning." Now later in that chapter Gandalf says that fate of Seven and Nine is known. So given that, he should have guessed it is The One...

After the snake lake monster destroyed the Mellon Gate, Gandalf said that there was only one way out, on the other side. However, Gandalf had destroyed that bridge in the Balrog fight. So how did Gollum get out?

I know they ditched the cooking gear and all and had lost their armor and had stolen orc armor (which I think they might have ditched as well to lighten the load.). But I could have sworn that in Frodo's confrontation with Gollum outside the Crack of Doom that he threatened Smeagol with his...

After getting the information about Shire and Baggins and that the Ring had been found again, Sauron let Smeagol go, instead of having him executed. This move seemed to have turned out to be one of Sauron's worst mistakes, up there with his underestimating Eru with the Numenorean plan...

Let's say the Ring simply tumbled into the fire below during the fight between Gollum and Frodo. Then would Gollum have sailed with the other ring bearers? Would he have been too heart-broken to survive the destruction of his precious?

Bilbo had the ring for 60 years and never aged yet he aged to 111 after a week without the ring. Gollum had the ring 500 years yet lost the ring for 60 years and never aged a day after he lost it. Did the ring keep him alive because it wanted him to keep searching for it?

Any way of dismissing this pop up other than clicking on the forum rules link?

... do you really think that Shelob would just ignore The One Ring? I mean, she is a daughter of Maia, and I assume, she have some of Ungoliant magic in herself. She had huge ambition to eat, eat, and eat (who could assume that, considering how humble her mother was?). Don't you think that...

The spooky dude at the end of trailer #4 says: "You have been told many lies of Middle-earth." Any thoughts what this may mean?

Okay, so my favorite YouTube channel posted a video about gollum having disassociate identity disorder (DID). And I am not quite sure what I think about it and I do not know enough of the lore to respond. I always thought Smeagol was his own personality and that Gollum was the rings influence...

I'm sure this will be a train-wreck... Source

I aways wondered, if Gollum had not died at the end and the Eldar were willing to take him to the undying lands would him have been able to recover (both in body and mind)?

In other words, just how corrupted did Gollum become, and what are his real feelings for Frodo? What impact did the Faramir scene at the lake have for this relationship? Did he evetually realise they were the same race?

What Happened to The Soul Of Gollum After He Had Died in The Fires Of Mount Doom?

Some mammal’s eyes (deer for one) seem to glow when light is shone on them. I have been out in the woods on several occasions at night with only a flashlight and seeing glowing green eyes on what I assumed were deer or raccoons is very eerie. Some searching revealed this is caused by a layer...

Hello my knowledgeable Tolkien addicts, looking for the passages where Sam forgives Gollum and chooses not to slay him on mt Doom.

He was in the movie. Which means if Bilbo didnt find the ring then it would be game over. But is it from the book?

I was doing a bear crawl when I just figured and found out I can walk like the creature Gollum!!

Incase you wonder what "Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" is about?. Short story Its about a good doctor, who makes a serum to seperate good from evil. What happens is he gets two personalities, one who tries to outburst from his goodness is what he calls "Mr.Hyde", which does evil and malicious things...
