[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8815605, member: 23751"] Only 3 ships left Numenor with the "army" of 300 soldiers, 300 horses, food and equipment for all of them, however many sailors sailed the ships, food and equipment for them. That had to be food for round trip, too, since they couldn't be guaranteed to get food where they were going. Those ships were not large. There's no way they got all of that on them. Which of course led to memes like this. [ATTACH type="full"]265427[/ATTACH] Jawas have lots of droids, so having a translator and astro-mech wasn't much of a coincidence. Neither is Ben being close to Ben's house which is where Luke was going when he was attacked. Especially since Ben had both ears and the force to detect an attack going on not to far away. Sauron wasn't alone. He was with southron's who had no reason to be out in that area of the ocean at all. Nor is Sauron capable of knowing the future and just happening to be there when Galadriel shows up. If maia were capable of that, Morgoth would have been even more capable and couldn't have been caught off guard the way he was. The ring amplified his power and generally took time to affect people that weren't the most powerful elf to ever live. Sauron could not have had that kind of control over her. Bad writing is introducing yourself? "Who are you? I'm Nori." "Hmm, I can't remember." A few episodes later, "I remember who I am finally!" "That's great, what's your name?" "My name is not for you to know, but you may call me Gandalf." That's not bad writing. Bad writing would have been, :::two harfoots find a stranger in a crater and approach, as they get close the stranger lifts his head and says, "Gandalf!":::: Which, compared to some of the writing in this series, wouldn't have been all that shocking. Most of the writing was decent. Some was good. And more than some was just bad. [/QUOTE]
