Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Thank you! This plot hole business is always taken out of context, too. GRRM was in an interview talking about how Lord of the Rings inspired him to write A Song of Ice and Fire - and part of that inspiration was from these gaps he noticed. And that's fucking rad!
People always talk like if you love something you should never criticize it, but being critical about something is most often a sign of passion - about the property, the genre, the medium, whatever. And inspiration blooms at the intersection of criticism and passion.
