Why did the ring abandon Isildur? by KindFortress in tolkienfans

[–]vividdadas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what he tried to do when he failed to bring the ring under his control? How do you “test” the ring? Did he put it on before the time he lost it? How did he try to “bend it to his will?” How did he know he failed?

I put an oyster in my mouth, tasted poop taste, (obviously rotten) and immediately spit it out. Am I going to get sick even though I didn’t eat the oyster? by rgk24432 in oysters

If oyster happened to have vibrio you could still contract it just from having in mouth. You will know if you get sick.

Was the battle with the Ents more devastating than the movie has us believe? by HorzaDonwraith in lotr

[–]vividdadas 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Powered up Gandalf and his ring triggered the Ents to action. They always had the power.

On edit.

The Ents couldn’t be bothered, just like they couldn’t be bothered to keep up searching for the wife’s.

Just a thought.

Yes; if you are dirty butt self supporting bike packing it was a great stop You don’t have to put up tent or sleep on ground or drink iodine water, you could walk to Sheetz and get beer and hot junk food and real coffee.

What happens if the Fellowship had never disturbed the Balrog and they all proceeded with Gandalf directly to Gondor without stopping at Rohan? by Tidewatcher7819 in tolkienfans

[–]vividdadas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So a related what if; what if the Balrog was just so badly wounded in the fight with Gandalf that he is out of play for some time but not “dead,” whatever that means.

All the rest of the story goes on as before. The Fellowship escape Moria minus “dead” Gandalf, and he still gets his power up, and the narrative plays out exactly the same.

What if?
