Rally a people to go to war or prevent them from going so. How different are Merry and Pippin, Fili and Kili and Celegorm and Curufin are from each other?
(You can either take it seriously or lightheartedly.☺️)
We now see the events of the previous chapter through the eyes of Pippin and Merry and their captors, the orcs including the Uruk-Hai. The previous chapter introduced the Riders of the Mark and explained how they operated and were organised, and this chapter does the same with the orc band who...
As Obi-wan Kenobi would put it, he would find out "These are not the Hobbits you're looking for", and, what's more, would realize that he just revealed to Sauron that he was a traitor by trying to take the Ring for himself. While capturing them may have helped prevent the two from rousing the...
After their return to the Shire, they formed a band:
Released some albums:
Even made a few movies, I hear.
It wasn't too long before they broke up.
And, oh yeah:
I saw the two Hobbits in an interview with Steven Colbert, and it reminded me of a pet peeve of mine, that I don't think I've ever mentioned here....
Am I the only one who thinks Billy Boyd looks more like a "Merry", and Dominic Monaghan should have been "Pippin"? I mean, who was doing this...
I would like to wish each and every member of The Tolkien Forum a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This is will be TTF's 12th year on the Net ... 14th year, if you can recall the old message boards at THELORDOFTHERINGS.com, in the Net that is forgotten.
We now even have, in a way, second...
In the prologue, Bullroarer is listed as 4'5" tall, and we know Merry and Pippin was taller than he, but where is it listed that they were 4'6"? Is that an inference? Page numbers or chapters would be appreciated.
Hey dol! Merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Tom's so perplexing I cannot damn chill-o!
Yes, to the abyss he has been explored!
And because of this I know you're all bored!
But why dost Tom deserve such a stigma!
So let us now truly ponder this enigma!
I know the nature, persona, character and...
Once more, I have the privilege of wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and the best hopes for a Happy New Year.
We will enter our eighth year online in 2008, an eternity when it comes to sites such as these. With recent announcements about new motion pictures from New Line Cinema, TTF may...
Sixteen-year-old Meriadoc Brandybuck lay in his warm bed, asleep at the moment, but not for long. His mom, Esmeralda was outside the door. She rapped on the doorway lightly, poking her head in to see if Merry was stirring yet. Merry rolled away, facing the wall opposite his bed. His eyes...
Well another year is almost over, and it's the holiday season that we all love: Christmas, or in LOTR terms Yuletide. I haven't been a member for that long (2 1/2 months) compared to some people, but it's been fun. So basically just wishing everyone a nice and safe Christmas, and be good. So, if...
:confused: The part in Two Towers I am really confused about is when Merry & Pippin are alone in Fangorn Forest, and Merry is drinking something that makes him sound like a tree and he even grows taller, then Pippin grabs the jug and starts drinking and the same thing happens to him, then they...
In the movie, when Merry and Pippin were riding on the Orcs backs, Pippin told the Orcs that Merry is sick, so the Orcs gave him this brownish drink, and then Merry choked on it, and then Merry told Pippin he's fine and not to worry about him.
What was in the drink? And was Merry really sick or...
In FOTR when Saruman was speaking to the orcs before they set out to find the band of 9, or 8 without Gandalf, what exactly did he say? (In the movie) He was saying: "You don't know fear, you don't know pain, you will taste.......!" Did he say "Vengence", or did he say "Something flesh", or did...
I find it very sad that PJ has decided to make M&P nothing more than Abbot and Costello for these movies. I felt that the over blowing of their idiocy (especially Pippin) in FoTR was to show the contrast from their impulsive immaturity to when they mature to responsible and heroic hobbits...
