Am I the only one here.....

[Symok]

...who hasn't read the entire LoTR trilogy? (Or am I just the only one who wishes there had been some sort or warning about the spoiler...?)<P>Ahh well. There was a bit of a spoiler mentioned in the <A HREF="http://www.elflife.com" TARGET=_blank>Elf Life</A> forum for LoTR some months ago, and Ive forgoten what it was. I'll probably forget this too, by the time I get around to finishing reading it...<P>------------------

We can admit that we're killers but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes-knowing that we're not going to kill...today. ... Peace or utter destruction-it's up to you." --James T. Kirk

Nope, you aren't alone friend; I have not finished reading the trilogy either. I suppose spoilers are not included because it was such an important, and widely read, piece of fantasy, that everyone just assumes you know all about it. It is kind of like not knowing that Darth Vader is Luke

The Kirk quote is from "A Taste of Armageddon" (Episode 23 or thereabouts -- late first season). The <I>Enterprise</I> travels to a Star System fighting a war with computers, where the "casualties" have to report for execution. An effective if not always perfectly logical episode, it does give a pretty good feel for why old-school Trekkies love the original series so much.<P>Maccabee,
