Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

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.

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

Thanks. I knew it was vaguely like that, but I was missing a few letters.

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.

ETA: way x-posty. Why am I distracted by work when trying to post on important Tolkien issues, I ask you?!!1

After Frodo finishes his book and passes it on to Sam, Sam adds to it, doesn't he?

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

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

What exactly does Sam add? In the movie, it seems like Frodo finishes the Lord of the Rings story, but I guess he couldn't actually write about anything that happened after he left.

I think that there is more stuff about his family -- and about Merry and Pippin and their families.

I think that one of Sam's daughters goes to Minas Tirith to be a Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Arwen, for example.

And I think that Elanor marries Pippin's son Faramir.

I'm planning to reread these after the RoTK EE comes out, I swear.

Thanks.

I think Sam keeps track of Merry and Pippin and himself, with accounts of King Elessar.

Also the stuff at the beginning of the book? The forward or prologue or whatever? "On hobbits" and "On pipeweed" -- that's from the Red Book of Westmarch.
