[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] About Merry's sword - it's a coincidence I was reading up the Complete Guide to M-E by Robert Foster etc. and was flicking back and forth and I realised that there is no problem with omiting the Barrow-Wight scene. Merry's sword is now 'an Elven sword' given to him by Aragorn. Spoilers ahead $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ That should do. The fact that Merry's sword was a Barrow knife - doesn't really matter. Neither does it about any weapon - like Eowyns. The fact is or was that the prophecy was that no 'man' could kill the Witch-King/Head Nazg�l. It was a hobbit and a woman. It wasn't the sorwd being of Arnor - it did indeed have magics these could have originally been Elvish in origin anyway... cast about it - by whom is lost in time - but as mentioned above this seemed to only change the way the sword perished. They BOTH came under the Black-breath (Merry and Eowyn). Eowyn was particularly susceptible - says in the complete guide - because she had spent many a year doting on Th�oden. Plus she was enamoured with Aragorn and was overly concerned about him going the paths of the DEAD... plus she had to conceal her identity - she was already suffering before she took on the Witch-King. It comes down to Merry being a Hobbit and Eowyn being a Woman. I'd LOVE to see (it'll never happen) some other stories of Middle-Earth being done by PJ... maybe a DVD extra!?! I'd love to see events such as the War after Sauron revealed the one ring - and Ost-in-Edhil was lost and nearly all of Eriador was lost until help came from N�menor - see "Unfinished Tales" Or maybe I hope PJ shows some of the events that take place after the destruction of the one ring - the Attacks on L�rien from Dol Guldur, The Ents wiping out the Orcs from giving up on L�rien and trying to invade Rohan. The Battle of the Dale, where Easterlings invade the northern lands and The Dwarves of Erebor and the men of Esgaroth and the Dale take them on - after a 3 day seige of the Lonely mountain. ALSO Galadriel and Celeborn crossing the Anduin and cleansing Dol Guldur and Mirkwood - helped by Thranduil - and eventually renaming Mirkwood - Eryn Lasgalen (The forest of Greenleaves)! (All mentioned in the Appendices!) I wonder if we'll see Osgiliath or Pelagir or Dol Amroth!?! Anyone reckon that they should maybe turn a part of the Silmarillion into a movie!?! Maybe Beren and Luthien!?! [/QB][/QUOTE]
