    Return of the King

    Warning! Spoilers ahead! For those people who refuse to take an interest in literature that's older than they are...

    -------------------------

    They defeat Sauron.

    Frodo loses a finger but otherwise escapes unscathed.

    Saruman bites it.

    Gollum falls into the volcano, with Frodo's finger.

    Theoden is slain.

    Eowyn defeats the Nazgul (with a little help from Merry).

    Denethor dies, tries to take Faramir with him, fails.

    Arwen & Aragorn get hitched.

    Lots of orcs die.

    Sam & Frodo beat a giant spider.

    -------------------------

    P.S. This was a piece of satire aimed squarely at Dave, involuntary thread-censorer.

          Can you provide a little more space between the spoiler line and spoilers itself? Some of us are on really high res screens and can see quite far down a page, so that one or two line gap isn't really enough.

                Oh shucks darn lessee...

                MORE SPOILERS AHEAD:

                -------------------













                Yeah Faramir and Eowyn hook up. *SCHWING*

                Legolas and Gimli ... err ... form a lasting "bond".

                Everyone except Merry, Pippin, Aragorn and Arwen goes over the sea to the undying lands. Yeah, even Legolas and Gimli eventually.

                Sam hooks up with Rosie, has little Samlings. Names one Elanor (played by Sean Astin's real-life daughter, no less!), after the flowers that ... never ... made it into the first movie. *sigh*

                              They won't end with the destruction of the ring, no. There's too much wrap-up. At the VERY least, they'll have the marriage of Aragorn & Arwen, the betrothal of Faramir and Eowyn, and the return to the shire (so Samwise & Rosie can hook up). Then everyone will pile on boats to the undying lands.

                              BUT... it's really up in the air whether they'll have the "scouring of the shire" or not, and it would be a CRYIN' shame if they left it out.
