Dana LoeschHOST
And that Samwise Gamgee even went to the Undying Lands.
Dana LoeschHOST
Gimli was the first and only dwarf allowed to stay in the Undying Lands.
Dana LoeschHOST
And at one point, and I know you remember at the very end of The Return of the King, at the very end of The Hobbit actually, of The Ring, or The Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien had included, and this was portrayed beautifully in the film, Frodo had told Samwise, he's like, "The Shire's been saved, but not for me." And I always thought it interesting that...
Dana LoeschHOST
But the, the, the difference between Frodo and Aragorn.
Dan HeatonHOST
I'm great.
Dan HeatonHOST
I'm just walking around going, "Gimli.
Dan HeatonHOST
Gimli," carrying a big ax or something and just, um, trying not to think of Lord of the Rings.
Dan HeatonHOST
Trying to think-
Jessica LieseHOST
[laughs]
Dan HeatonHOST
... of where they went, the... to Gimli, not John Rhys-Davies talking about, "My ax," and everything else.
Dan HeatonHOST
No. I'm gonna focus on what's important here, which is the penultimate leg of Amazing Race Canada, and someone got eliminated, Jess.
Jessica LieseHOST
This was unexpected.
James StreckerHOST
So, Man Ray was also in this episode, in many episodes of SpongeBob after the first time where John Rhys-Davies played him.
James StreckerHOST
He's also Gimli in all the Lord of the Rings video games.
James StreckerHOST
And he voiced Sala in the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland.
James StreckerHOST
So, like, any time that you have, like, a, oh, John Rhys-Davies is too expensive for this, like, offshoot thing.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
guy.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Attempted to be Gimli.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
And like went on tape for Gimli.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Original Gimli?
Austin WalkerHOST
Huh.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Yeah.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Yeah.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
It's great.
Nick RitterHOST
And then here we have a parallel to the description of, uh, hell's hall, uh, strong mm-hmm , uh, the hall she saw standing fairer than the sun, not further than the sun thatched with gold.
Nick RitterHOST
at Gimli.
Nick RitterHOST
So Gimli, my, my previsional, uh, hypothetical translation would be the, the gem, the, the, the meadow of gems or the gem meadow.
Nick RitterHOST
Um, So they're the, like, the noble ones shall enjoy good things that are going to happen to people up there.
Nick RitterHOST
What is your translations?
speaker_1HOST
Mm-hmm.
speaker_1HOST
Yep.
Nick RitterHOST
Um, and I was also thinking Gimli, the, the Lee or the, the meadow of gems business would be a good term for a field of stars.
SeánPANELIST
But then when you watch it, Legolas is not a character in Lord of the Rings.
SeánPANELIST
Gimli is far more likeable and badass than Legolas.
AaronPANELIST
Yeah.
AaronPANELIST
Legolas kind of does...
JohnHOST
Yeah.
JohnHOST
And it gives it gives a real insight to the character, you know, you know, little Gimli vibes as well, you know, not in the same way.
JohnHOST
But, you know, Gimli, when he was fighting in Lord of the Rings, he had a lot of attitude on the battlefield.
JohnHOST
You know, there was always the quips and the one liners as he was taking down all the orcs.
JohnHOST
So this gives a little bit of that kind of of a vibe to him.
Connor HalleyHOST
But, well, there's some legends.
Connor HalleyHOST
Gord Oil says, I think giving it to a Gimli is so easy.
Connor HalleyHOST
You're not giving a Gimli deck enough credit.
Connor HalleyHOST
Well, geez, Louis, they're both Hall of Famers.
Connor HalleyHOST
He's a stud.
EzraHOST
She's just this, you know, the Lady of Light, right? She has, like, they want...
EzraHOST
Gimli wants some of her hair.
EzraHOST
Like, just Gandalf, I think the way they kind of portray it in the film, again, he's always...
EzraHOST
Not in awe of her, but I mean, there's that, people get this playfulness between Gandalf, yeah, reverence, there you go, for her and stuff, and it's like, if that were going on, which, I mean, maybe they're trying to do some of that in the show, they're just doing it really badly, it's, And then you haven't set her up to be the character who you would have reverence for.
Julia GoldingHOST
I think it's just brilliantly put together.
Julia GoldingHOST
So the next chapter takes us back away from Minas Tirith, back to Aragorn and Merry and Legolas and Gimli.
Julia GoldingHOST
And I think one of the really fun things about The Return of the King is what a varied diet we get in these chapters.
Julia GoldingHOST
We're never spending too long in any one place.
