It’s time to walk across Mordor!.
More comedic orc duos!
This Nazgul wants YOUR name and number.
A gobler?

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book VI, Chapter 1, The Tower of Cirith Ungol
In this chapter we are back with Caitlin’s favourite Hobbit! But that still isn’t enough to save this chapter from being mostly boring.
There’s architecture. And orcs!
There’s more architecture and more orcs!
There’s a touching reunion!
Also, uh, stay until the very end after the sign off if you want to hear us continue that Redwall discussion.

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 10, The Black Gate Opens
In this chapter the army spends a lot of time getting to a battle…and then not much time on the battle.
Merry is left behind!
We were wrong last week about miles. Which is just typical us.
As the army retraces Frodo and Sam’s steps, how much have we forgotten from The Two Towers?
And Hobbits, man. They rock.

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 9, The Last Debate
It’s a chapter of standing around a talking in two different parts!
The Fellowship is reunited!…mostly.
Caitlin still doesn’t understand miles?
How far is it from Minas Tirith to the Black Gate? I have a feeling Twitter will let us know.
And Hobbits, man. They rock.

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 8, The Houses of Healing
Some people are healthy, and some are not. We will point out each one just in case you are confused.
We meet Tolkein’s self-insert, self-burn.
Also another woman! That we had forgotten about. Whoa.
Caitlin has her most egregious forgetting of a name to date.
And Hobbits, man. They rock.

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 7, The Pyre of Denethor.
Our favourite boy does just a *little* murder, and maybe a bit of treason.
Feanor, thousands of years later, still causing problems for everyone.
Murder-Suicide always seems like the best plan, right?
We still don’t understand how the afterlife works in MiddeEarth. Presumably, we never will.

This week Caitlin, Rachel, and Emmy discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 6, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
Dernhelm is a girl? What?
Who killed the Witchking? Why was there a prophesy about that?
And, most importantly, Gimli has his axe.

This week we discuss Return of the King, Book V, Chapter 5, the Ride of the Rohirrim.
A little less Ride and a little more Eavesdropping. Come and discuss with us as Merry is very observant, but misses some vital facts. Theoden gives some speeches and steals a horn. Eomer is racist, and Snowmane is the best horse ever.
Well, the best horse that wasn’t stolen by Gandalf.
