I had a feeling I wasn't going to learn what happened to the Entish women. *sigh* That's the best part Tolkien ever came up with (I'm a little bitter about his lack of women) and it's supposed to remain unresolved? Hmmph.
In the books, it's made very clear that Gandalf had suspicions about Bilbo's ring from the start. From the start as in, when Bilbo finds the ring? I don't really remember it that way.. he seems to piece it together quite late in the scheme of things. I guess that's kind of a lesser point than some of the others, though.. I mean, it's a little odd that Gandalf, who seems to know all sorts of things, doesn't figure something like that out.. but it's not really ODD.
Talking animals: Nope, I haven't seen any of the Hobbit movies. The eagles talked, and the wolves talked, and the large spiders they were attacked by, and so did Smaug, and basically anyone could understand them. That's why I think it's weird.
The dwarves I was referring to were the ones who didn't show up in any form other than Gimli for any of the big battles for Middle Earth. Again.. it just seems to be something that would affect many, and therefore they would have a part in the fighting.
I don't have time to post any more because it's past my bedtime already (forgot to check on the sheets so the bed is just now made.) Tomorrow!
