LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".  

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Canadian tv is going to air the Montreal LotR concert!

I assume that Bravo! isn't the same as Bravo in the US, is it? (Darn the luck.)

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

sumi, thanks! I've written it on my calendar.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What's the name of the mountain that the Fellowship tries to cross in FoTR before they're forced to go through Moria?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Caradhras. It's got a bunch of different namesin the book btu I'm pretty sure that's the only name it gets in the movie.

Redhorn is another name.

I can't even.

The Elves call it Caradhras the Cruel and men call it Redhorn (see also the Redhorn pass they are trying to reach).

Apparently, the dwarvish name is Barazinbar.

I've abused more people for this paper, I swear.

Yes -- Sam finishes the book and it goes to his heirs.
