    Galadriel’s Ability to See Things Seems to Outclass the Palantiri

    Galadriel’s Ability to See Things Seems to Outclass the Palantiri

    Galadriel tells the Company that she cannot see Gandalf from afar unless he is within the borders of Lothlorien. This is an implied limitation on a much more astonishing ability which is never explored in detail, but maybe we can tease out a few things from the text on what exactly
    Galadriel can and can’t see, and how and why as well.

    The Dark Night of Aragorn’s Confidence After Gandalf’s Fall in Moria

    The Dark Night of Aragorn’s Confidence After Gandalf’s Fall in Moria

    Aragorn has a significant amount of self doubt after Gandalf falls with the Balrog, in contrast to the dynamic, confident leader we see in much of the rest of his story. This hints at aspects of his relationship to Gandalf that aren’t really that explicit in the story, but we can find other bread crumbs....

    Why Hasn’t the Tolkien Estate Sold the Rights to Adapt the Silmarillion?

    Why Hasn’t the Tolkien Estate Sold the Rights to Adapt the Silmarillion?

    After the “Hunt for Gollum” movie announcement, I notice more than one person asking why the Tolkien Estate hasn’t sold the rights to the Silmarillion yet. It seems like a natural enough question following the death of Christopher Tolkien, but there are still plenty of obstacles to such a move.



    Want to know about that atrocious John Boorman LOTR script? Here are my videos on it:



    Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhKX7VdMiZU



    Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbxZU3mVRsc



    Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7BqeOwPcSE



    Part 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHGpbhTKq0w



    For good measure, here I talk about JRR Tolkien’s comments on another script he hated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMLLIFb_Pe8



    For my (very old) thoughts on how you might adapt the Silmarillion, check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cliHCmfpj3M

    Why Didn’t Sauron Know Where the Shire Was?

    Why Didn’t Sauron Know Where the Shire Was?

    Viewer coreyander286 wondered about this, and in the post Peter Jackson era it’s not a strange thing to wonder, but there’s a fairly simple answer.
