Really? Well I sure got that wrong. I wonder why I thought it was Richard E Grant?

You think the first campaign session ever is using 4'th (if even 3'rd) edition rules?!
I don't care how low his ThAC0 is, that's clearly a crit.


Hah! That's awesome. I didn't know if anyone could relate to ThACO so I was making the 4th edition rules up as I went along!

Shelley Duvall and the Mouth of Sauron from the deleted scenes of The Return of the King... separated at birth? You decide!

I always assumed that Gandalf is smart enough not to trust Sauron. Certainly there's something fishy going on. If Sauron had the ring, there would be no sense in bargaining. If he didn't, then Gandalf needed to hold his attention as long as possible to keep his attention off the ringbearer.

But the reason I like this scene in the book is because of Gandalf's surprising response to the offer: that the two hobbits are not worth the price.

This scene was better in the book.



I do like this scene, mainly because it offers an improvement on the theatrical cut (which cannot be said of the majority of the extended scenes in ROTK, unlike the first two films) in that the Fellowship now believe Frodo to be dead, adding weight to their decision to fight on regardless. So in the films, it works. But like much of what merely "works" in the films (and don't misunderstand, I love these films), it would have been much better if they'd gone with how events played out in the book.

So as I remember it from the book, the Mouth of Sauron is a Númenorean (like Aragorn) and an officer in Sauron's army, not some hideously deformed monster. In fact he tried to bargain with the Fellowship, telling them that although Frodo was still alive, all of his posessions had been turned over to Sauron. He says that in exchange for the safe return of Frodo and Sam, the peoples of Middle-earth would be enslaved rather than destroyed, and would have to pay taxes to Mordor. But the reason I like this scene in the book is because of Gandalf's surprising response to the offer: that the two hobbits are not worth the price.

he may not be the mouth of sauron but he is a regime apologist.
and i am just appalled at his circular logic and his feeble attempts at conflation.
an academic?
he should hang his head in shame,that was pitiful.

I heard more independent thinking from the Mouth of Sauron than from this dude. *lies *kissing up

Is that the "Mouth of Sauron" she shoves the burger into?
