| | The One Ring: The White Council :: View topic - The redeeming features of Weathertop |
 | | Weathertop was not as good as I would have liked it to be, but it certainly wasn't horrendous or embarrassing. | | | I'd like to point out that part of why Elijah's cry sounds like it does during Weathertop and again after Gandalf's death is because of his age and his voice at that age. | | | I'm inclined to think they are not alive enough.) On the other hand, regardless of the justification attempts, the book version makes no sense unless the Nazgûl are really stupid, and I think this is the worst flaw in the whole book. |

| | 03-05-01: The Nazgul at Weathertop |
| | The reason the Weathertop attack fails is because the Ring-wraiths (and Sauron) under-estimated the resilience of a hobbit to a Morgul-knife. | | | The Ringwraiths wear their nine rings (for mortal men doomed to die) and are thus under the complete dominion of the One Ring. | | | They fall back because they believe their goal for the attack - the stabbing of Frodo with a Morgul-knife - has been achieved. |

| | I've always had some trouble with that scene in the book, because the Nazgul totally had Strider and the hobbits at their mercy, and the One Ring virtually in their grasp, and then they inexplicably run off. | | | Aaron B. The Weathertop scene from the recent trailer with the Nazgul advancing on the hobbits seems a bit staged and corny. | | | Gandalf's subsequent explanation never quite rang true for me.

| | Aragorn was well aware of the distance, as he said later (A Knife in the Dark; Bk 1) when they reached Weathertop, that it would then take them 14 days to the Ford of Bruinen although it normally took him only 12. | | | In Bree (At the Sign of ‘The Prancing Pony’; Bk 1) Aragorn tells Sam that Weathertop is halfway to Rivendell. | | | Everything falls into place on this assumption, since the travellers took 7 days between Bree and Weathertop (involving a detour to the north) and 7 days from Weathertop to the Bridge (with Frodo in a wounded condition and unable to hurry) while there was a further stretch of 7 days from the Bridge to Rivendell. |
