    Would Gollum have turned to dust...

    Would Gollum have turned to dust if the ring had been distroyed and he had not died at the same time? In RotK, there's a passage where Sam and Frodo are almost there, and Gollum knows what they are up to, and he pleeds with them saying that he will turn to dust if the ring was destoryed. I...

    Smeagol/Gollum identity crisis

    I was watching FOTR yesterday, and I noticed something strange. (I know what happens next has been adapted). When Galadriel is saying her introduction, she says something along the lines of, "the creature Gollum found the Ring." Well that's interesting isn't it? As we all know that in ROTK it...

    Is Gollum really the Hero of LotR?

    For a long time, I (and many others) believed that Gollum was the hero of LotR, because he destroyed the Ring. I've always been of the impression that some inner part of Smeagol that was still good and true fought over the evil for just a moment long enough to cast himself into the fire and end...

    How did Gollum follow when the bridge was destroyed?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post even though I've browsed this server for years, I just got a chance to register an all. This is just something I kind of wonder about and theres probably no real answer but..... If Gollum was following the fellowship and the Bridge of Kazadum was...

    Jar Jar Binks or Gollum?

    I was watching a documentary on the Phantom Menace Special Features DVD the other night and I saw how they made Jar Jar Binks come alive, and it looked a lot like how PJ did Gollum on LOTR. So which creature is better (computer wise I mean not characteristically)? Which one looks realer?

    YayGollum 🧝Elf Question

    Sometimes YayGollum asks why people love elves or what is so great about them. I figure why not start a thread for it? What is so great about elves? I'll open with my answer... In summary: Above all I love elves because of their relationship with nature, and because they are excellent...

    YayGollum's Many As Well As Achingly Unique Tales Of Middle Earth Outcasts.

    Truor's History, Part One. Greetings. After reading part of a very refreshing Dwarf type story by someone around here with a Ghorim name, I was spurred into bringing some of my old stories back, with hopes that it will help me to start writing what's been ambling about in my brain for a while...

    YayGollum's Achingly Original As Well As Perhaps Entertaining Profiles!

    Greetings. Please excuse me if it is achingly evil for me to produce a thread just for my characters, but I see no obvious system for placement of profiles. Besides, I believe that everyone making their own thread just for any characters that they come up with is the best system. Redirect me if...

    Frodo's Intent in the Struggle With Gollum. . .

    In the additional struggle between Gollum and Frodo over the ring, after Gollum has taken Frodo's finger, Frodo has a very determined look on his face, but the determination is ambiguous, or at least it was to me. On the first viewing I automatically assumed, for some reason, that Frodo was...

    Saving Private Gollum

    Could Gollum have ever been healed and made whole after the ring was destroyed or was his only peace found in death?

    Gollum´s voice ???

    Hello I have been arguing with some people about Gollum´s voice. They say: Gollum´s voice in FOTR is different than TTT and ROTK :confused: (For me it´s the same voice) They say it´s explained in EE, the situation about Andy Serkins/Gollum´s voice being different after FOTR. My questions...
