Episode 8: From Rivendell to Khazad-dûm

Tolkien with Friends

In this week's episode, we are joined by our friend Sarah, who you may know as SEHolmes25 on TikTok. Together we tackle the chapters "The Ring Goes South," "A Journey in the Dark" and "The Bridge of Khazad-dûm" (aka starting at an hour and 43 minutes into the Extended Edition of Fellowship and ending at about 2 hours and 28 minutes). We cover:

• How Merry and Pippin were actually able to join the Fellowship
• How Gandalf had wanted to travel through Moria all along
• The first appearance of Gollum
• The Balrog
• Legolas and Gimli's friendship
