Tolkien Geekery Update

With apologies to Gary, I've been remiss the past couple weeks in keeping up with his Lord of the Ring posting. In fact, he is now nearly half way through The Two Towers, so rather than try to play chapter-by-chapter catch-up, I'll just suggest that you go on over and scroll. As always, lots of good stuff.

I'll try to pick up again with my own side-line commentary shortly. In the meantime, I'll just say that I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused by the chronology of events leading up to and immediately after the Battle of Helm's Deep, and that the mysterious appearances of smokes and steams over Isengard around that time that don't quite seem to coincide with the actions of the Ents look like an editing oversight.
