What Would Have Happened If Frodo Had Died in Moria? Who Knows!

26m · The Tolkien Lore Podcast · 22 Apr 05:00

A viewer asked me in an email what I thought would have happened if Frodo hadn't been wearing Bilbo's mithril coat and had instead been killed in Moria. I tried to come up with a response, but as it turns out there are just too many possibilities, so instead I made this video describing my thought process and why "what if" questions can be dangerous roads to travel.

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.

Embracer Group has finally announced details of its planned first foray into the world of Middle-earth from a cinematic angle, with a working title of “The Hunt for Gollum.” I give the details so far, my thoughts, and maybe some snide remarks about a certain other company.

How to Convince a Christian that Lord of the Rings Isn’t Full of Forbidden Witchcraft

Decades ago, when Dungeons and Dragons first got started, there were a fairly large number of Christians in the United States who thought it (and many other fantasy properties) were dangerous and anti-Biblical. That was always based mainly on a misunderstanding, and you’d think by now that would have been cleared up. I recently found out, though, that there are still people who think even Lord of the Rings is somehow religiously dangerous….

My video on the ways in which Lord of the Rings is fundamentally Christian is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AWD7UWsn4w
