He was simply so charismatic.... <Reverend> [10/31 @ 18:46] (3/7)

To be fair <Curious> [11/1 @ 4:28] (1/4)

If we were going to be fair... <Reverend> [11/1 @ 7:37] (1/3)

There's also the fact that he's a pretty lousy general... <aragonvaar> [11/1 @ 18:54] (1/2)

Don't be so irrefutable... <Reverend> [11/1 @ 20:54] (1/1)

Is there any parallel between the decline of the Elves in ME after the War of the Ring and the decline of the British Empire after WWII <Methuselah> [10/31 @ 8:38] (2/7)

Oh no no no... <Dryhten> [10/31 @ 17:52] (1/5)

I can't believe that elves = Celts... <Hermione> [11/1 @ 2:54] (1/4)

I agree <beren_boy> [11/1 @ 14:06] (1/3)

I'm sorry, I should not have insulted Tolkien's academic knowledge.... <Dryhten> [11/1 @ 15:33] (2/2)

Elladan & Elrohir <White Gull> [10/31 @ 5:19] (3/5)

Tolkien changed his mind... <Reverend> [10/31 @ 7:20] (0/0)
There's an apparent contradiction <Watson> [10/31 @ 5:43] (1/2)

I always thought <PhantomS> [10/31 @ 16:37] (1/1)

Actually, he was their cranky old grandfather <Watson> [10/31 @ 17:34] (0/0)

Is the Ring that smart? <cabbage'n'taters> [10/31 @ 8:21] (1/4)

The Ring is that smart. <Curious> [10/31 @ 10:02] (1/3)

I agree <Mim the Petty Dwarf> [10/31 @ 21:10] (2/2)

Tolkien is SO clever! <Curious> [11/1 @ 8:44] (0/0)
Very much so, I think. <Kimi> [10/31 @ 21:47] (0/0)

I think the Riders were close enough <Morwen> [10/31 @ 6:44] (2/2)

I agree on both counts <Kimi> [10/31 @ 10:58] (0/0)
This makes so much sense to me... <Reverend> [10/31 @ 9:10] (0/0)

The Riders have something to do with it. <Curious> [10/31 @ 6:05] (4/17)

Strider is not omniscient. <Morwen> [10/31 @ 21:53] (1/1)

I agree, and <Curious> [11/1 @ 8:51] (0/0)

Strider's not on his own turf <NZ Strider> [10/31 @ 11:03] (2/9)

Aragorn's fears... <Kathira> [10/31 @ 13:22] (1/5)

Angmar is not <Curious> [10/31 @ 14:25] (1/4)

Aragorn's mindset and mistake... <Kathira> [10/31 @ 17:07] (1/3)

That's a little reminiscent <Kimi> [10/31 @ 17:12] (1/2)

I don't think that why... <Kathira> [10/31 @ 17:59] (1/1)

Oh, I agree (mostly) <Kimi> [10/31 @ 18:15] (0/0)

No ruckus necessary. <Curious> [10/31 @ 11:30] (1/2)

I have to disagree.... <Reverend> [10/31 @ 9:15] (1/8)

It was not an implied put-down. <Curious> [10/31 @ 10:08] (1/7)

Sincere condescension.... <Reverend> [10/31 @ 13:14] (1/6)
