Middle-earth Conspiracy Theories Can't Post

What was the real reason that Saruman allied himself with Sauron?

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

He thought he would tell him what happened to the Blue Wizards. [In reply to] Can't Post

And if Balrogs have wings, and where the Nazgul came from,...come to think of it, I'd join Sauron's side too, since he has all the answers I seem to want.

Similar musical tastes: Both Saruman and Sauron were massive ska fans... [In reply to] Can't Post

When Gandalf says "When did Saruman abandon Reason for Madness?" It's not often appreciated that this is a musical Reference*

It's fun to imagine Saruman skanking around Orthanc to "One Step Beyond"


* Except I can't think of an artist called "Reason". Bother.

~~~~~~

"nowimë I am in the West, Furincurunir to the Dwarves (or at least, to their best friend) and by other names in other lands. Mostly they just say 'Oh no it's him - look busy!' "
Or "Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!"
