Episode 14: Of Herbs and Arwen and Aragorn

Tolkien with Friends

This week, we’re joined by Andie's good friend Savannah to talk about the chapters of “Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit,” plus 5 seconds of “Treebeard,” some significant changes to the first few pages of “Helm’s Deep,” and some of Arwen and Aragorn’s story from Appendix A! This corresponds to the extended edition of Two Towers between 1 hr 34 min in until about 2 hrs and 13 minutes-ish in. In this episode, we discuss:

• How Sam treats Gollum in the books vs the movies
• Was the warg fight really necessary??
• Arwen and Aragorn's backstory
• And, of course, we finally meet Faramir
