This starts at the start of disc 2.

Fantastic on both movie and reaction counts. I haven't watched your outro as I'm getting ready for the football/soccer, but thank you for the double upload.

What a whirlwind this movie is. There's so much to cover but I'll start by saying thanks for the amazing reaction! I was curious to see your reaction to Grima Wormtongue(he's such a snivelling villain). I'm not sure when the next youtube Live will be but I already have a question based on Nanette's similar appearance to Eowyn. My question: Hey Nanette, can you say "Your words are poison" like Eowyn:) Samwise calling Golum a 'stinker' reminded me of Carolyn:) At one point during the battle of Helm's Deep, I had to make sure the reaction was still synched. I thought i had accidentally paused the youtube video because both of you were in shock and making no sounds:) I really enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to the youtube edits and next movie! P.S. Shout to the gifters that sent the One ring and Arwen's Evenstar necklace.

Great reaction. The creatures that the Nazgul (Ring Wraiths) are riding are not dragons. They are known as fell beasts. Actual dragons are much much much much much much much much much bigger. Faramir, Boromir's brother, is one of my favorite characters. For him to willfully give up the ring says so much about him. I also love the little monologue he gives when he is introduced, when he wonders about the fallen enemy solder, if he really was evil at heart. Glad you watched the extended edition which reveals Aragorn's age. That part is left out of the theatrical. Aragorn is a man, but he is a Dunedain, a race of men thought to have died out. If you're curious about the ages of each character, these are some rough ages in the story, someone can correct if i'm off a bit - Aragorn - 87 Gimli - 139 Legolas - unknown, but could be hundreds or thousands of years old Boromir - 40 Frodo - 50 Sam - 38 Gollum - over 500 Merry - 36 Pippin - 28 Gandalf - he came to middle earth around 2,000 years ago but his spirit is much much older, pretty much timeless Sauron - Similar to Gandalf, they have technically existed since the beginning of everything Elrond - over 6,000 years old Galadriel - over 8,000 years old Hope you don't wait too long to watch Return of the King!

Chris Clarke

Film trivia! Sean Astin put on quite a bit of weight to play Sam. When filming the scene when Frodo is about to stab Sam with his sword, Peter Jackson told Elijah Wood to put the sword under Sean's chin. Elijah responded "Which one?", and got a round of applause from the crew! Poor Sean took the joke well!

FranciscoGios

I can tell Carolyn was making sure that Aragorn would not die in this movie. But on the set during the time of filming they did lost site of the actor and couldn't find him until he resurface from the murky water and said he was okay. Im glad you guys are routing for Sam, believe it or not he is my favorite character in the trilogy. And Carolyn there is a creature we both hate coming up on the third movie so get ready 😅

Phil Stubblefield

Fantastic, as usual, Nanolyn! SPOILER ALERT! The horse that rescued Aragorn beside the river was Brego, the one that had previously belonged to Théodred, the slain heir of King Théoden. Remember that Gandalf had calmed him in the stables at Edoras, saying, "Turn this fellow free. He has seen enough of war." Brego returned the kindness by rescuing Aragorn at the river's edge. You could tell he was a well-trained warhorse by the fact that he knelt down to let an injured rider mount. At Helm's Deep, the death of Haldir and his kinsmen is especially tragic because, with the exception of violence, Elves are essentially immortal. In choosing to honor the old alliance, they have literally given up an infinite lifetime. Sam's speech at the bridge in Osgiliath is superb! Câr, it's fun to watch you breathe deeply through your mouth in an attempt not to cry. Nanette and I just surrender immediately... 😭 I am so excited about The Return of the King! There will be screams of dismay and screams of triumph, tears of anguish and tears of joy! It will be, in a word, epic! 😯

Wade Wallenstein

24 years later and these films are still high quality across the board. I also love Sam's speech at the bridge in Osgiliath. Can't wait for The Return of the King!

Chryss Guiler

In the 'trivia' section on IMDB, it states, "Viggo Mortensen was so impressed with the horse his character rode that he purchased him from the owners. The horse was shipped back to New Zealand for the additional shots that were filmed in 2002." Pretty cool.

Totally Whatever

Thanks, Mark! Our next live will be the first weekend of October. I'll have some time to practice.

Also the entire scene with Boromir is only in the extended edition.

MotoDork

You mean Aragorn calmed Brego. Also I feel like the ladies may have missed the fact that it was Brego who “rescued” Aragorn and took to Helm’s Deep.

Totally Whatever

Frodo is 50! I wouldn't have guessed that. Pippin is so young compared to everyone else. This breakdown is really helpful.

Totally Whatever

She was comforting me for sure. I'll make sure she gets your warning!!

Totally Whatever

Glad we didn't disappoint, Phil! Excited but scared for the last one. 😲 We dom't want it to end.

Phil Stubblefield

Yes, of course I meant Aragorn, not Gandalf! D'oh! 🤦🏼

Tim Heron

There's a bit of Sam's speech to Frodo that's actually kind of an in-joke; his line "By rights, we shouldn't even be here" is an homage to the fact that, in the books, Faramir never takes them to Osgiliath.

Eric J Watkins

I loved this SO much. You both are SO invested and you treat the films and it's fans with great respect. Btw, this is Presto, but Patreon made me merge my accounts, so I just have my true name listed now. Sorry to hijack this comment for this, but I can't even message through Patreon at the moment. Regardless, love love love this reaction. On the soundtrack (I love it ALL), the track "Samwise the Brave" is what accompanies his speech, and I get tears rolling and goosebumps every time I hear it. You ladies are a treasure!

Totally Whatever

I'm so sorry about the merging issues. I know others are having difficulties too.

Hello, TW sisters. A great reaction and I hope it gets a lot of views. For my nerding, I’d like to drop some Tolkien lore about Gondor and its roots, plus why it has a Steward and no King. In the scene where Nanette/Eowyn asks Aragorn how old he is she realizes he is of the race of Dunedain, the descendants of the lost kingdom of Numenor. Numenor was an island kingdom given to the Humans who had fought Morgoth, the first dark lord, during the first age (the time of the Elves). The Humans who lived there were gifted with long life and had some lesser magic, and some magic items, like the Palantir, the seven seeing stones (Saruman has one, as does Sauron). During the second age, it became the most powerful nation, challenged only by Sauron when he made his one ring. It was the last Elven kingdom (Lindon) and Numenor that pushed Sauron back into Mordor after he made the ring. During this time the men of Numenor began building cities in what is now called Gondor. I won’t go into how Numenor fell, but it was due to the pride of some of the kings and the manipulations of Sauron. The faithful were spared from the island being consumed by sea, and they established the sister kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor, both ruled by Elendil, the king who dies fighting Sauron in the opening scene of Fellowship. It was these descendants of Numenor that joined the Elves in The Last Alliance, the battle in the beginning of Fellowship. These were Aragorn, Boromir and Faramirs ancestors. I mentioned before that Arnor is gone, but their line of kings endured. Tragically, over time, the line of Kings of Gondor failed, this all happened after Sauron lost the ring but his spirit was slowly returning. At its height Gondor controlled even Mordor itself and up to the two huge statues the Fellowship passed when they went down the river towards the end of the last film. During the time before Sauron returned to Mordor (this happens at the end of the Hobbit, after Bilbo finds the ring) his primary instrument for slowly weaning Arnor and Gondor down was the king of the Ringwraiths, the one who stabbed Frodo. It was he who helped destroy Arnor, all while he posed as a man, the shadowy figure known only as the Witch King of Angmar. After both Arnor and Angmar were destroyed (Gondor when it still had a king avenged its northern neighbor), Elrond realized it was the Ringwraiths who were commanding Sauron’s troops again. The witch king then recaptured Mordor and captured the Gondor city of Minus Ithil. This is when Sauron got a Palantir, a seeing stone. The attempt to “duel” the witch king, who cannot be killed by man, was what killed the last king of Gondor. Minus Ithil was renamed Minus Morgul, the dead city, because the Witch King made it his lair, as did the other Ringswraiths. You will see Minus Morgul in Return of the King. From the point the last king died, Gondor for hundreds of years was ruled by Stewards. These men were wise, but they did not have the power to fight Sauron directly, so Mordor has slowly encroached on Gondor. Denethor, the current Steward, sits on a stool in front of a Throne, a practice of the Stewards showing they are not the king. Yet, watching his enemies grow stronger and being powerless to stop it has made the Stewards desperate, something that drove Boromir to seek the ring. I look forward to your reaction to Return of the King!

Totally Whatever

Bill, so good to hear from you. Thanks for the deeper explanation! There is a lot of backstory that we clearly don't know. Adapting the novels for film must have been arduous.

Just Plain Bob

A couple of random thoughts. First, Elijah Wood is a HUGE fan of genre filmmaking. I used to attend Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX, every year. It’s an eight day film festival featuring independently produced genre films. Elijah Wood attended every year that I was there. No entourage, no Hollywood attitude, just a regular guy that wanted to see some really cool movies. He mixed freely with others and seemed to be a very down to Earth guy. If you didn’t recognize him from his films, you’d never have guessed he was famous. Second, in regard to this film. It depicts a contingent of Elves arriving to help defend Helm’s Deep. Aragorn is clearly surprised by their arrival, as well he should be - it never happened in the book. The Elves had mostly left Middle Earth by this time and those that remained were busy defending their own homes. More importantly, the fourth age (after the destruction of the Ring) was intended to be the Age of Men. As such, the burden was theirs to prove worthy. The Elves time was done; their obligations/duty fulfilled. Having the Elves turn up to “save the day” undermines that story element and, frankly, I think it was one of only two serious mis-steps that Jackson made in the trilogy. The other misstep being the ghost army overwhelming the enemy in Return of the King. In the book, they eliminate the Black Fleet and, in doing so, fulfill their oaths. Once again, it is men that win the Battle of Pelennor Fields, when the Rohirrim break the orc lines with their charge. Men winning the Battle at Helm’s Deep and the Battle of Pelennor Fields unaided by elves or ghosts is not only more accurate to the books, it’s more in keeping with one of the themes of the book - that dominion/leadership is earned and that those that seek to lead should prove worthy of that exalted status.
