April 03, 2023 The Main Character of The Lord of the Rings Is...Middle-Earth
Many
people find Tolkien’s long descriptions of landscapes, scenery, and
other features of his world boring, but pay a little attention and
you begin to realize Middle-earth is more than a place, it’s a
character unto itself.

March 27, 2023 Barad-dur, its Foundations, and the Ring: Did Tolkien Leave a Contradiction in Lord of the Rings?
Tolkien gives us a pretty clear timeline of the major events of the Second Age, including when construction of the Barad-dur, Sauron’s fortress, was begun.
Elrond tells us the foundations were made with the power of the Ring. The only problem is, the Ring was made 600 years later….

March 25, 2023 Life Is an Adventure, Miserable Drudgery but So Worth It | Tolkien Reading Day 2023
It’s
Tolkien Reading Day again, so it’s time for Tolkien YouTube to
bring you plenty of extra content! This year’s them is “travel
and adventure,” and if ever there was something Tolkien handled
realistically, it’s the rough and tumble of what we romantically
call “adventure,” which translates very well to life as a whole.

March 20, 2023 Book vs. Movie Legolas: Ethereal Stoic or Emotional Jokester?
Peter Jackson did some interesting things with Elves in his movies, and Legolas’ personality is the main victim. Far from the always-steady, joyless stoic portrayed by Orlando Bloom, Legolas was much more emotional and humorous.

March 16, 2023 Thursday Tolkien Thoughts: Do the Wizard’s Staves Contain the Power of Each Wizard?
I have one final theory about wizard staves to share, and this one is much more speculative and likely not true, but hinges on some...interesting words that Saruman has for Gandalf.

March 13, 2023 Tolkien Book Review: The Fall of Numenor
I know I’m late to the party on this, but at long last here’s my review of The Fall of Numenor, edited by Brian Sibley and illustrated by Alan Lee. Do you need to get this book? Probably not, but you might still want it.

March 09, 2023 Thursday Tolkien Thoughts: Theory—Wizards’ Staves Are a Limitation, Not a Source of Power
Earlier this week (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1GRzWjH_V4) I took a look at whether the Istari, or wizards, of Middle-earth actually needed their staves to perform magic. In this follow-up, I explain my theory as to why exactly they need them.

March 06, 2023 Do the Wizards of The Lord of the Rings Need a Staff to Do Magic?
The Wizards we meet in The Lord of the Rings always seem to be carrying a staff, and those pieces of wood sure seem important, but are they actually necessary to the Wizards’ use of magic?
