So all 3 Tests that started on the same day, in 3 different continents, end up with delays due to rain. How frustrating!

Apparently a lot of thought has been given to this over the years as I found out after googling it!

I guess they only would have needed the one film but it is a serious flaw in Tolkien’s story.

Mmm, there are a number of theories that kind of give credence as to why it had to be in the way it was done.

Just get the alliance to the gates of Mordor as a distraction and whilst no ones looking get those eagles in

Yeah I would be crap at story telling

Ha ha......Council of Elrond:

"Right, send the eagles in"

"Okay"

"Tea anyone?"

End.

I do think Tolkien missed an opportunity in this chapter (The Council Of Elrond) to have Gandalf or Elrond or someone explain why it wasn't a good idea to do so: They explain why the ring cannot stay in Rivendell or why it had no sense to send it overseas or to Gondor or let Tom Bombadil look after it;

"Why can't the eagles take it to Mordor?"

"Because they will eat it, drop it, get shot at, be spotted by Nazgul and fecked over...."

Or perhaps Boromir: "One does not simply fly into Mordor on the back of a giant eagle! There are...bla bla bla bla bla....."
