I have never read the LotR trilogy.
What a strange, unexpected chapter is "Fog on the Barrow Downs."
I have one question: Why on earth does Merry awake from the wight's dream (??) and say to himself "What in the name of wonder? Of course, I remember! The men of Carn Dum came on us at night, and we were worsted. Ah! The spear in my heart! No, no. What am I saying? I have been dreaming!"
I read somewhere that he was reliving an experience not in his own life...
This makes no sense to me. Why did no one even speak up after he said that? Frodo doesn't even ask him.
No explanation is given whatsoever in this chapter about anything.
I'VE RE-READ IT TWO TIMES! What a completely unnecessary, weird chapter.
Edit: "The ghosts of the Barrow-downs in the Old Forest seem to possess Merry, Pippin, and Sam."
That isn't even told in the book!
Edit: This doesn't even seem like the films that I know and love...
