Episode 111 - Holiday Special 2024
Q: Could Megalor have been more active in later Middle-earth?

Q: Did Tolkien make Ancalagon too big?

Episode 111 - Holiday Special 2024
Q: What do you think Melian saw in Thingol that made her fall in love so deeply?
She likely saw his potential, believing he could change over time, and it broke her heart when he didn't live up to it.
Episode 111 - Holiday Special 2024
Q: What do you think happened to Megalor in the Third Age?
