This is a very strange part of the story that's allways intrigued me. Legolas is telling: ". It then seemed plain to us that the attack had been made for his rescue, and that he knew of it beforehand. How that was contrived we cannot guess; but Gollum is cunning, and the spies of the Enemy are many." Du you have any idea about how Gollum and the rescuer communicated?
Thanks for uploading this and explaining so clearly! I have been reading the UT and some parts are utterly confusing including the different scenarios of how Sauron locates the Shire. But this brought a lot of clarity! Can you do a video on Ciriol and Eorl too?
That this was near to the hated land of Lothlorien he did not doubt, if it were not within the fences of the realm itself. But the power of the White Ring he would not defy ...
@@TolkienLorePodcast but would they have died in the 'undying lands?' I like to think that was their reward for giving up their 'normal' happy-go-lucky hobbit lives and therefore would have got used to Gandalf/Olorin as a spiritual being, considering they've been exposed already in Middle-earth to the spiritual existence of certain creatures?
I’m only aware of “Unfinished Tales: The Lost Lore of Middle-Earth.” I’m not sure what the other you mentioned is but it could be an alternate title for the same book.
Ok that makes sense. Thank you so much ive loved lote since a kid nd heavily am back into it for life and have been reading all the books. Your videoa help out so much understanding things. Im on the silmarillion right now. Its amazing
Hi, Tolkien Geek. I just discovered your channel and really enjoy your content. Your analysis of Tolkien's work and the adaptations is so thorough and thoughtful. I'm not sure if this is correct place for this but I had a video request. I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a video discussing this Cracked After-Hours episode on The Lord of the Rings...ua-cam.com/video/0kmUgRXzn_o/v-deo.html . I liked After Hours but this video really didn't seem understand Tolkien or his work well enough to do an effective critique. I'm not sure if you've watched it yourself but I'd love to hear your thoughts on their commentary. Keep up the great work!
Ok, so I see what you’re getting at, but I’m not sure I can “respond” to it because it’s not really meant to be an intelligent critique. Maybe I could use it as a jumping off point for a discussion of race but I’ve already done a video on Tolkien and racism. The point is the video, like much of their stuff, is meant to be (as far as I can tell, anyway) absurd.
@@TolkienLorePodcast Your explanation makes perfect sense to me. I was overlooking the tongue-in cheek humor while watching it. I really appreciate you looking into it.
I wish the barrow wights were in the film at least the extend version
I really like these videos focusing on the history of middle earth series. Great content. Loads of extra materials that I never knew. Keep it up!
This should had been in the movies! I mean ,it can be interesting .

Nope, but I have wondered.
I love LotR but don't have the time or inclination to read through the Unfinished Tales and history books. These kind of videos are great for me 👍

Once back in the Undying Lands, do you think Gandalf turned back into Olórin the Maya?
In the sense that he shed his incarnate body? I imagine he would have eventually, perhaps after Frodo and Bilbo died.

Yes, Tolkien makes it explicit in a letter that they would die.
Show what book this is. Theres one called numenor and middle earth and one called lore of middle eartblh. Are they the same book????

I might have seen it before a while ago. I’ll have to check it out again.
