Gollum says he can’t remember the taste of bread, hear the sound of trees or the softness of the wind. Both Frodo and Gollum talk about what they can’t see anymore once the ring takes hold. During Sméagol’s transformation to Gollum, it seemed like the *gollum* sound was a reaction to having strangled Déagol.ĩ. Sméagol mutters “We wept to be so alone” (from TT Gollum’s Song) and “catch a fish so juicy sweet.”Ĩ. *NEW* When Sméagol has killed Déagol, the ring laughs and recites the ringspell as it did at the Council of Elrond.ħ. *NEW* Just as when the animals/birds fled when the Black Rider hunted the hobbits, as Déagol is looking at the ring, once again there’s the sound of the woodland creatures fleeing.Ħ. When he’s in his “Smeagol” persona, his pupils are dilated, but when he’s “Gollum,” they constrict.ĥ.

When Gollum is speaking to himself, watch his eyes. Reader update: Smeagol says: ‘Give us that, Deagol, my love’, he says, he uses the plural for himsself already. “Hobbit Sméagol” had always had the Sméagol voice. Gandalf’s words from the text: “I guess they were of hobbit-kind akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors, for they loved the River and often swam in it, or made little boat of reeds.” From Fellowship of the Ring: Book One, Chapter Two.Ĥ. Reader update: Some disagreement over being a different race. Sméagol and Déagol’s ears were larger and shaped slightly differently to normal hobbit ears, to reflect the fact that “River folk” are a slightly different race of hobbits than Shire folk? Smeagol has already blue eyes, even before being like Frodo.ģ. The Fishing Boat is round like a Nut Shell. When Deagol dives down, Smeagol doen’t look for him, but brings the boat to the shore instaed (He isn’t wet when Deagol reappears) That one was pretty obvious, but I thought I’d mention it anyway. Reader update: The shot of Deagol grabbing the ring from the river is the same shot as the hand grabbing the ring in the prologue of FOTR. Where once he used worms to get food, now worms *are* food. I thought that it represented the ring leading to Gollum’s devolution into a more primitive state. A much larger worm than the one he uses to bait his hook, at that. The opening scene with the worm immediately reminded me of the scene in the TT EEE in which Gollum slurps up a worm. Chapter titles in the Return of the King soundtrack: Shelob’s Lair (from Two Towers book) Minas Tirith The Black Gate Opens Return of the King (book title) The Grey HavensĢ. (**NEW** are recently added observations)ġ. RETURN OF THE KING GEEKY OBSERVATION LIST! Yes, that means no more updates from me, so no more e-mails please! Anyway, Enough rambling from me, enjoy! – Demosthenes So this is where my involvement ends, and I hand it back to the real owners – the people on the TORn boards. I simply thought the Boarders’ list contained some cool points of interest. Lists such as this are never definitive – can never be “complete”.

If yours did not make it, don’t despair, I may have simply missed it among my piles of e-mail. I have endeavoured to include as many as I can below. Update:: Many (many) people wrote in with additional observations, corrections and thoughts. Warning, there are some possible RoTK EE spoilers scattered throughout. I have added a few comments and links here and there. All kudos for this huge list must go to the members of the TORn messageboards led by Grammaboodawg, who has been compiling this little monster.
