Show Notes

A return to the Shire. The final chapter. The end of all things "Lord of the Rings" …well, except for the film, which they are covering next week! Join Luke & James in episode 131 as they say goodbye to one of the most beloved fantasy series of all time, yet debate whether it truly deserves the high praise it often receives. Also discussed: Michael Moorcock's "Epic Pooh", the value of the appendices, what Tolkien's legacy is with regards to modern fantasy, more great quotes, the philosophy of the LOTR, the value of mercy, the Eagles plot hole, the nature of return to status quo endings, and whether or not Arwen and Aragorn's relationship could've been a little more integrated in the story.

Ch. 4 The Field of Cormallen

Ch. 6 Many Partings
