ANNOUNCEMENT
I'm sorry to announce that real life as intervened and your friendly Middle Earth mods need to postpone the marathon and discussion for THE TWO TOWERS & THE RETURN OF THE KING.

We'll let you know the new schedule as soon as we can coordinate a new date.

SORRY!

	Awww, that's OK, hope RL is kinda to you all soon. Still plenty to talk about from FOTR anyway, TBH! Some of the questions are almost a paper's worth of consideration! ;) (Reply to this)

You read my mind. I've only now had enough time to read through the themes of discussions. You were really fast with questions.

BTW, Arwen rarely appeared in a book. That was the reason why I yelled for Lady of Rohan. Aragorn and Eowyn = TEH LOVE. She seemed to me more of life, more of action than pale Arwen Undomiel. I had to try very hard not to hate the film Arwen. Anyway, in both cases, I've got an impression that decisions about ladyloves were reached a little bit forced - Aragorn/Arwen, Faramir/Eowyn - even though it was quite evident that there were sparks, touchable
sparks, between Aragorn and Eowyn. I term such conclusion an "Ivanhoe syndrome".

Galadriel was the only one strong woman represented in a book and even she had only few and short scenes. Considering this I prefer The Silmarillion. Have you read it yet?
