AlexHOST
Then the shapes slowly advanced.
AlexHOST
Terror overcame Pippin and Merry and they threw themselves flat on the ground.
AlexHOST
Sam shrank to Frodo's side.
AlexHOST
Frodo was hardly less terrified than his companions.
AlexHOST
I'm a woman.
AlexHOST
But everyone remembers Eowyn.
AlexHOST
What often gets overlooked, in my opinion anyway, is Merry, because Merry sneaks up behind him and stabs him with an ancient blade forged centuries before for the wars against Angmar.
AlexHOST
It breaks the spell, holding the Witch-King together, and Eowyn strikes the final blow.
Christopher SnyderGUEST
But we don't know that, right? We can hope that there's a good ending for Frodo.
David BorysHOST
While we will never know how it truly ended for Frodo, we do know that the hobbits retake the Shire and Samwise, Pippin, and Merry become the leaders.
David BorysHOST
But what happened showed Tolkien's uneasy relationship with technology.
David BorysHOST
He did not reject innovation, but feared it divorced us from wisdom and morality.
RobertHOST
The stewards and kings ruled Gondor, while the farmers and fisherfolk stayed farmers and fisherfolk.
RobertHOST
In the Shire, Bilbo, Frodo, Merry and Pippin seemed to happily live off their family money, while Sam and his family had to work for a living.
RobertHOST
Nowhere in Middle-earth was there much by way of social mobility or career choices.
RobertHOST
Tolkien did seem to be of the view that when the rulers of a land were good people, that land would prosper, and the people in it.
Mallory RubinHOST
I don't want to be grilled at the gate any more than Frodo and
speaker_1HOST
Sam and Merry and Pippin did.
speaker_1HOST
Yeah, like, come on.

It's wet

Joanna RobinsonHOST
Earlier versions of the foreword also spoiled that Frodo and Sam survived the tale.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
And there are other sort of intimations that make it seem that way.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
But I think Merry is sort of the most...
Joanna RobinsonHOST
If you're reading closely, you know that Merry's going to make it.

RobertHOST
Did Frodo nearly kill the Witch-King? Yes, I know that some combination of Eowyn and Merry did in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, but were we scant inches from Frodo doing it much, much earlier in the story? Let's take a look.
RobertHOST
Hi everyone, this is Robert.
RobertHOST
Welcome to InDeepGeek.
RobertHOST
Welcome.
RobertHOST
We all know how the Witch-King actually finally died.
RobertHOST
Merry stabbed him from behind with a magic sword, and Eowyn landed the killing blow.
RobertHOST
I did a video on it, setting out the exact mechanics if you're interested.
JonathanGUEST
So, I was just going to say the...
JonathanGUEST
the joining of Merry and Pippin on the quest.
JonathanGUEST
So the way that it plays out in the movies is Frodo and Sam are in Farmer Maggot's land, and they hear him start yelling at them, and... all of a sudden they just run into Mary and Pippin because they're stealing stuff from farmer maggot.
JonathanGUEST
And it's just sort of a happenstance sort of arrangement where they happen upon them.
JonathanGUEST
And so there's a lot of time in that.
JonathanGUEST
And what we see happens is...
JonathanGUEST
Merry and Pippin are actually some of Frodo's closest friends.
JonathanGUEST
And they start seeing things that are weird and investigating.
TomHOST
Breathlessly, he's panicking here.
TomHOST
And Sam says, Master Merry's been squeezed in a crack.
TomHOST
Tom immediately calls out Old Man Willow and says, not worse than that, eh? And then says that it shall soon be mended.
TomHOST
He knows a tune for him.
Kathryn NicolaiHOST
Part one, the temptation of Boromir.
Kathryn NicolaiHOST
At the beginning of chapter 10, the breaking of the fellowship, what a spoiler of a chapter title, our eight companions, Legolas the elf, Gimli, the dwarf, the men, Aragorn and Boromir, and the hobbits, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, are sailing down an enormous river.
Kathryn NicolaiHOST
As night falls, the fellowship makes camp on the riverside, and as usual, each member takes turns keeping watch.
Kathryn NicolaiHOST
During Frodo's watch, Aragorn gets up and Frodo asks why he's awake when it's not his turn to get up.
AudreyGUEST
like the lore of it all the man went to harvard like you know yeah sure yeah i'm i'm yeah he's i think gonna do it well because he himself is a a true fan right you know it's one of us making one of our passion projects yeah right now well
DrewHOST
right on uh lord of the rings shadows of the past will be set 14 years after uh return of the king So after Frodo's departure from Middle-earth with Sam, Merry, and Pippin, retracing the early stages of their original journey, the film is expected to revisit events from Fellowship of the Ring through flashbacks, adapting chapters largely missed in the original film, like the Old Forest, Tom Bambadil, and the Barrow Downs.
DrewHOST
And probably more.
DrewHOST
But that was an excerpt that came from Peter Jackson's
Chris WeilminsterHOST
So this is kind of part of that movie of them searching for Gollum before Sauron gets to him.
Josh CrouchGUEST
And then it'll lead up to when the trio, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are searching for who they think is Frodo and Samwise, but they actually end up finding Merry and Pippin search rather than finding Frodo and Samwise because they had gone off in a different direction.
