[QUOTE="KenM, post: 1269665, member: 7583"] Those are good points. Since JRRT did not like tech himself, He might never have thought that he had a logic flaw in his grand tale. Someone else said that not everything in a book has to make sense, it does to me. if the writer/ teller of the story shows an easier way for the characters to accomplish they're goal, and does not explain why the characters does not use the eaiser way, then the story is flawed, and I can't accept it. Here is an expample: say some peole have to get across a lake, the person that tells them they have to get across the lake shows up in a speedboat (like Gandalf got droped of at rivendale by an eagle.). He also says they don't have much time. So the characters start to swim across the lake. They don't use the speedboat and its never explained why they did not. That is how I feel about the eagles not helping in LoTR. I will not accept "dramatic effect" or "thats the way the author wrote it", there has to be logic to the characters actions. [/QUOTE]
