#7 Turns out, although menus are not mentioned in the books, Saruman's orcs do know of picnics:
"But what are we going to do at sunrise?" said some of the Northerners. "Go on running," said Uglúk. "What do you think? Sit on the grass and wait for the Whiteskins to join the picnic?"
— LOTR: The Two Towers, book III chapter 3, The Uruk-hai

Sauman got bars tho. “You will taste man-flesh!” https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlaG9zM29oNG5mMDMyNnZwMndpOXVuZmZka2Y3ZWE1eGtrYTA0OXFtaiZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/AJwnLEsQyT9oA/200w.mp4

This concert was at Tushino Airfield, just outside Moscow, and it took place in 1991, in between the failed coup of Gorbachev and the official dissolution of the USSR.
Estimates of the attendance are up to 1.6 *million* people, which to this day means it's likely the 8th largest concert ever held.

If you think about, in the Shire, had Sam not been trimming the weeds under Frodos window at midnight, the Ring wouldn't have been destroyed.
snacksmoto
Sam was part of a group of concerned friends keeping watch on Frodo. He actually was eavesdropping and straight up lied about it to Gandalf.

#6 Get some stew that looks at you like Arwen looks at Rex Manning... On Rex Manning Day.

Say no more, mon amour!

Even funnier when you realize Rex Manning day was the 8th of April

#18 And he alone knew the truth about Frodo-- that in the end he succumbed to the ring and wanted to keep it for himself.
Munchman347
Frodo was exposed to the ring longer than anyone else...
davefleming19903
Didn't bilbo have it for like 80 years? I know the ring wasn't "active" or whatever but he still had it...
rshini
granted it was mostly on the mantlepiece and Bilbo wasn't actively trying to destroy it like Frodo was.
DukeDarkwood
I think that'd be Smeagol-Gollum, who had it for five centuries.

#6 What makes this slightly creepier is that Arwen's father, Elrond, had a twin brother names Elros who gave up his immortality to join the race of men and become the first king of Númenor. His descendant was Aragorn II. Meaning she fell in love with her uncle's descendant.
MetalSonicSixtyNine
On that type of timescale, we're all just cousins
Altqwenta
How many generatios wer they apart? I get what you are saying, but If there wher more than 3-5 generations, then its kind of... not so strange?
snacksmoto
IIRC, Aragorn is something in the neighbourhood of 65-70 generations of descendants after Elros
Altqwenta
Lmao. Then practically not related.
kahlas
Arwen was Elrond's child so one generation there. Aragon II was 62 or 68 generations removed depending on if you track the line through Arvedui or Fíriel who where also cousins who married and had children in his line.
Altqwenta
Did Tolkien wrote in such detail the genealogy?
kahlas
Yes. With a lot of gaps obviously. If you trace Aragon's lineage down the 68 generation side there are like 8 named people and the rest are not named. The Silmarillion is to Middle Earth what the Bible is supposed to be the history of the Earth according to Christians. The book Unfinished Tales is a selection of partial stories Tolkien's son published as is from the hundreds of partially completed stories his father had written before he died. The History of Middle Earth is 12 volumes.
Altqwenta
I read 2 times the silmarillion. I don't remember that haha

#8 "I will send Glorfindel, the legendary elven T-1000 who is famous for slaying a god-fucking Balrog in the first age, with you."
"Nooo, no, my dude Elrond, then we don't have space for all the Hobbits."
"I thought, just in case you stumble over a Balrog on your way, Gandalf, You know, Sauron being a former lieutenant of Melkor and all..."
"But that would ruin my full set of Hobbits. What, are we supposed to take mountaineering gear too? In case the gate of Rohan is suddenly blocked and we>
mercyPandaRunner
need to cross over the Caradhras pass instead? Elrond, you start to sound like Bilbos mom."
Altqwenta
Was Glorfindel still alive?
mercyPandaRunner
Yes. And he's the one in the books that picks up Frodo and sends the Nazgul river rafting instead of Arwen. He is also present in the council and is supposed to be part of the 9... fellows? But Gandalf wants all the Hobbits in the party.
So, yes, they left the Balrog slaying, just a few days ago ringwraith whooping, legendary first age Noldor warrior in Rivendell to take Merry and Pippin on the trip of getting hunted by ringwraith and jumped by Balrogs. And the crazy part is, it works.
Altqwenta
I did'nt read the first part of the fellowship, so I missed the river part and the council. It worked because of smeagol, he is the unexpected hero (haha). Is there a reason why Gandalf wanted all the hobits? Why they didn't send 10 instead of 9?
adiving
Because the ten just doesn't sound as cool as the nine. They'd lose the ring to it.
mercyPandaRunner
9 because they are the counterweight to the 9 Nazgul. Gandalf wanted to not separate friends. Friendship is a powerful thing and Hobbits are exactly what Gandalf thought was needed. "Firepower" wasn't going to win against Sauron. It was small acts of kindness, understanding, mercy, friendship and appreciating beauty that won the war of the ring. Frodo and Bilbo sparing Smeagol and Frodo believing in Smeagol being able to change. The Hobbits befriending Tom Bombadil, which led to the blade>
mercyPandaRunner
made by the old enemies of the Witchking being there on the Pelenor fields to kill the Witchking. Eowen taking Merry with her on the horse and into battle. The two standing with wounded Theoden. Merry and Pippin befriending the ents an convincing them to take out Isengard. Sam carrying and supporting Frodo.
It's a thematic thing, even theological. In Saga, evil is unsustainable in the face of good. Not because of the superior firepower of good, but because where a spark of good is kept alive,>
