I'm stunned that no one anywhere has mentioned the fact that when Frodo "comes to" in Rivendell, Gandalf tells him it's "October". Since October comes from the Gregorian calendar how could it exist in the Middle Earth time frame? I thought this was a huge technical error and that everyone would scream about it. None of the Hobbit Heads seems to have noticed.

But, gee, everyone for the most part was speaking in modern English. What a huge technical error. You didn't even seem to notice this.

How do you manage to keep yourself so pissed off? I never read the books and I'm not a huge Tolkien fan, but I think it's a blast to see people so jazzed about something, especially something so inately sweet and positive.

These LOTR threads become all the more fun when you show up and try to pee all over the joy. You really are adorable.
