123. Nightmare in Moria : The Hobbit #12
The goblins of moria grab the dwarves (and Hobbit) who decided to camp out on their “front porch”, leading to some real terrifying moments!
- Does Gandalf use gunpowder?
- How Tolkien subcreates his world with a few simple phrases.
- The importance of the Goblin song, and the elves, dwarves, and goblins are all introduced with song!
- Where Tolkien’s prose is almost poetic in an Olde English kind of way.
- How Tolkien loves those swords!
In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:
- What we would change if Tolkien had continued with his rewrite.
- Our members’ reactions to the differences between goblines and orcs
- The genius of Tolkien to allow us to subcreate the goblins/orcs.
