Sorry again about the delay!
Random Thoughts:
- How come Merry and Pippin were surprised to see Gandalf alive?
- I love the Gimli and Legolas are friends. It took a lot of forgiving and forgetting to do that, especially since Legolas's dad imprisoned Gimli's dad for a while.

7. Magic always has to have constraints. If it didn't, we'd want all the problems to be solved with magic. There is some powerful magic in Lord of the Rings. How do you think it works? What are the constraints? Why doesn't Gandalf just transport the ring to the Mount Doom or wipe out the armies with magic?
8. I feel like Tolkien wasn't a fan of technology or machinery. Did you pick up on any of that?
