I came across something that bugged me the other day. After watching FoTR for like the 20th time, I noticed something: How does Sauron know that Gollum/Smeagól had the ring?
After it betrayed Isildur, the ring was lost and passed into myth. Im not sure how exactly, but Gollum had it for about...
I'D LOVE TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLE'S REVIEWS OF THIS LITTLE FILM.
The film is set during the timespan of The Fellowship of the Ring. It takes place 17 years after Bilbo Baggins's 111th birthday party and just before Frodo Baggins leaves the Shire for Rivendell (an interval which was not outlined in...
Yes, Gollum is a unique and intriguing character, probably one of the most unique in all fantasy literature. I even pity him when in the book LOTR Gandalf mentions how playing riddles with Bilbo must have given Gollum pleasure. But, to like him, even as your favorite character?
I don't...
i'm interested in what happened to Smeagol's people after he left them.
Gandalf says that his people were akin to Hobbits - 'the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors' he called them. it appears that they were existing as a reasonably successfull community/society at Gladden Fields on the Anduin...
Bilbo found the ring but why was it in the place where Bilbo found it? If Gollumn kept it hidden on his little island then why did it end up off the island near the entrance to the underground lake?
This is something I've often wondered to myself. Gollum technically gets the answer right before he even makes his first guess.
I think he answered the question as inadvertently as Bilbo did the time riddle. However, there was no way at that time for Bilbo to realize that he had lost.
I just came up with this, and I haven't completely thought it through. Thought I would post it, and see what others think.
Loki is the trickster, and he is very sneaky. The gods tolerate him until Balder's death, but he is almost always up to no good. When he helps the gods its for his own...
I have noticed an interesting thing. In the appendices to LOTR, It says the Ring was found about 550 years before the War of the Ring. However, in the Silmarillion it says that the Ring was found "ere the kings failed in Gondor" - at least twice as many years ago. At first, one might think it...
Among other sites, the fan-made film "The Hunt For Gollum" is up on youtube
Thread for "The Hunt For Gollum" Discussion, IMO, I thought it was a great piece of cinematic fan fiction for just $5000
i got to thinking about something and i wanna ask you...ok so when he found the ring it made him live very long..but when he lost it and bilbo found it and took it why didnt he start aging again?? there was many years between when he lost it and what happened in LOTR yet he seems to of not aged...
Greetings, most. Having all kinds of fun? Oh, I hope so. Anyways, as you might have read, I happen to be bored, at least at the moment. Tell me of your animal companions, past or present. I happened upon this thought mostly because some co-workers were crazily speaking at each other about...
Don't know if this was posted before and if I'm posting in the right place. This is a topic discussed elsewhere that I think would make a great discussion here as well.
True enough, this is a very intruiging character in the book. Has anyone ever wondered what the thought or the inspiration...
