    0391 » Lord of the Rings Bk1.Ch02.Pt10 » The Shadow of the Past part 10 » Frodo, the Chosen One
    Sep 23 2024
    Welcome to Episode 21 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Frodo, The Chosen One". (This is episode 391 of The Tolkien Road podcast).
    ""It has been said that dragon-fire could melt and consume the Rings of Power, but there is not now any dragon left on earth in which the old fire is hot enough; nor was there ever any dragon, not even Ancalagon the Black, who could have harmed the One Ring, the Ruling Ring, for that was made by Sauron himself." - Gandalf, to Frodo
    In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Frodo wrestles with the inevitable mission for which he has been chosen.
    SECTION START: Frodo drew the Ring out of his pocket again and looked at it.
    SECTION END: “The Enemy is moving.”

    REVISITED » In the House of Tom Bombadil with CR Wiley
    Sep 20 2024
    Who is Tom Bombadil? This is a topic we’ve covered several times on the Tolkien Road, but it’s an undying enigma for Lord of the Rings fans, and we’re always hungry for new insights into the mysterious nature of The Old Forest’s Master.

    With the inclusion of Tom Bombadil in Season 2 of The Rings of Power, we're in a Tommy kind of mood, and will be revisiting a few episodes we've done on the engimatic fellow over the next week or so.

    Today, it's an interview from back in 2022 with CR Wiley, author of the book In the House of Tom Bombadil.

    0390 » Lord of the Rings Bk1.Ch02.Pt09 » The Shadow of the Past part 9 » The Power of Pity
    Sep 16 2024
    Welcome to Episode 20 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "The Power of Pity". (This is episode 390 of The Tolkien Road podcast).
    "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf, concerning Gollum, to Frodo
    In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how Bilbo’s pity for Gollum may in fact “Rule the fate of many.”
    SECTION START: A heavy silence fell in the room.
    SECTION END: ‘Try!’ said Gandalf. ‘Try now!’

  • REVISITED: The Rings of Power » Why The Details Of Middle-earth Matter

    REVISITED: The Rings of Power » Why The Details Of Middle-earth Matter
    Sep 12 2024
    Hey there, Fellowship!
    We interrupt your week to revisit this bonus episode from a few years back called "The Rings of Power » Why the Details of Middle-earth Matter". It came out a few months before The Rings of Power Season 1 debuted. In it, I offered my thoughts on the controversies surround the show, and, well, I think they probably still apply today, with the arrival of Season 2.
    So sit back and enjoy this episode of The Tolkien Road Revisited!

    0389 » Lord of the Rings Bk1.Ch02.Pt08 » The Shadow of the Past part 8 » Gandalf's Worst Mistake
    Sep 9 2024
    Welcome to Episode 19 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Gandalf's Worst Mistake".
    'The murder of Déagol haunted Gollum, and he had made up a defence, repeating it to his “Precious” over and over again, as he gnawed bones in the dark, until he almost believed it.'
    In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how he began to track Gollum but made a critical mistake.
    SECTION START: “You have seen Gollum?” exclaimed Frodo in amazement.
    SECTION END: “...down at last to the land of Mordor.”
