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.
