During the brief discussion of "Melkor's Lunar Base" it is a shame there was not more time to discuss real world scientific theories. I cannot recall when I saw some nerdy documentary explaining the "Theia" origin theory of a collision. So, that got me wondering, what was the most prevalent...

The Stranger is The Doctor. Nori is his new Companion. They are going to Rhun to find the TARDIS.

When Corey spoke about Eru's message to the newly awakened elves to not stray far, he suggested that they were at least guilty of folly. He did a cute "We told you, but did you listen? I was DYING for him to say, "It's unnatural. And trouble will come of it."

If I was directing this scene for a film... Bilbo sings the whole song while gazing out the window, UNTIL... Looks at Frodo: "Listening for returning feet and voices at the door." .

"From what we have read so far in the book, the natural assumption is that the crebain (if (as seems clear) are 'spying out the land') are doing so on behalf of Sauron, rather than Saruman. " If the reader was paying close attention to the Council of Elrond, and wore out the map page from...

No, Sauruman's mere essay in the craft - a trifle only Sauruman fancies - cannot empower him to see Celebrimbor's Master Work. I'll be caught up in a couple of months, when I will have more clever things others should have said in real time. Yours in Estel, Abelard's Junk

A "boulder chucking move" is NOT required to add more rocks and boulders to the flood. I have shoveled dirt while standing knee deep in water, and was pleasantly surprised how much easier it was than regular dirt. Gandalf, whose concentration was already riding the wave, need only extend some...
