Lord of the Schlops

[Shnoodles]

The forest bears and city bears have officially finished season 2 of the Schlops of Power!

It was quite an eventful season. Sauron disguised himself as Annatar to get Celebrimbor to make 7 rings for the dwarves, but the ring caused Durin the elder to become too greedy and led to him leaping off a cliff to fight a Balrog. Elrond and Galadriel argued about if it was wise to use their ring, and in the end Elrond decided to use it to heal Galadriel after she leapt off a cliff to get away from Sauron. Farazon became king of Numenor by acting like a giant eagle was endorsing him, and Elendil escaped to go to the west part of the island after the Queen gave him the sword Narsil. Isildur fell in love with Estrid but then left her behind because they wouldn't let her on the boat to Numenor. The Stranger found his staff from a destroyed tree of the Stoors and then learned his name was Grand-Elf, or Gandalf. Also, Arondir got to meet a female Ent - cool!

Now is the hard part where we have to wait until Season 3 to see what happens next in Middle Earth.

Hey you Shire guys,

Whoa - us bears have long appreciated how much of a Tolkien aficionado Stephen Colbert is - and yesterday he announced with Peter Jackson that he is developing a movie that will cover chapters 3-6 of the Fellowship!

Stephen's show is ending in May so that means he will have plenty of time to work on the movie!

The film’s official logline reads, “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.”

Hoo, chapter 3 is my favorite part of Fellowship and I can't wait to see who they will get to play the fox!

A fox passing through the wood on business of
his own stopped several minutes and sniffed.
‘Hobbits!’ he thought. ‘Well, what next? I have heard of
strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a
hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them!
There’s something mighty queer behind this.’ He was quite
right, but he never found out any more about it.
