I look more rad than Lutheranism

I've never read the books, but it seems pretty well obvious that Aragorn is who they mean when they say "return of the king." I mean, it's not Elvis, right?

Not Elvis?!? Well, I have no reason to see it now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think advertising alone would make it really hard to remain unspoiled on that front -- he made the cover of Newsweek in full Gondorian war-garb

You'll just have to trust me when I say that full Gondorian war-garb = not much of a spoiler to the unspoiled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But anyway, even if he returns at the beginning, only to be defeated, I'm going to take an unspoiled stance and say King=Aragorn is not a spoiler.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hate to be a killjoy, but new threads frighten me, right now. Should we not wait til we're on the new server and healthy, rather than satiate threadlust?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Would closing a thread and opening a new one be a resource-drain? t /does not know much about such things

We just opened Good Riddance, so this would be an additional thread, no?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Would closing a thread and opening a new one be a resource-drain?

Not really. The data is all in the same database. Also, I can archive a couple of more threads before we move, which will bring the total number of threads down.

Nobody

Would closing a thread and opening a new one be a resource-drain?

This is really only the equivalent of closing Angel 4 and opening Angel 5, anyhow.

Thrive to spite them

Tonight I saw several trailers for RoTK and one of them (which I saw twice) was pretty explicit that Aragorn was the Returning King.
