Tuesday, 18 March 2014

Faster than lighting beacons, I guess.

If anyone's got a better headline, shoot...

Tim Almond said...: Lola,

No, that's the wizard's name. Gondor is the kingdom.

(after that scene there's this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDBPmEAheCY; 18 March 2014 at 13:01
Mark Wadsworth said...: I'm with L, that's Gandalf. He might be in 'Gondor' (which I had never heard of) but that's not really the point.; 18 March 2014 at 13:16
Tim Almond said...: Mark,

It's in the film. The lighting of the beacons, which Gandalf initiates ends with the line "Gondor calls for aid".; 18 March 2014 at 13:47
Lola said...: But who in Gondor called for aid? Gandalf?; 18 March 2014 at 14:20
Macheath said...: A shame it's an apple, otherwise you could have had:

"It looks like you're trying to save Middle Earth from the evil domination of Sauron.

Would you like help?"; 18 March 2014 at 15:04
Derek said...: That's an Apple Palantir. Trouble is it's been hacked so when you skype with it, it always connects to Barad-Dur. I think Gandalf is trying to sort it out.; 18 March 2014 at 16:31
Mark Wadsworth said...: I hope somebody sends him a link to "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" on YouTube.; 18 March 2014 at 18:29
