Q: Why did Elrond send only EIGHT* walkers with the ring bearer? Couldn't he send a bit of a bigger dettachment at least half-way to Mordor to keep them well protected? *It said eight all along, it never said either instead of eight. No, not at all, no, never

A: Elrond actually had a lottery system to decide who would join Frodo on the infamous quest to Mount Doom. It was supposed to be the First 50 winners, but only 8 signed up. Q: Why is it called The Lord of the Rings?

Indeed, when Shelob (aka Lobelia) attacked Frodo and Sam in Cirith Ungol, it was just the latest episode of a long-lasting hatred between the family. Now, wouldn't you be nasty if you were a huge spider in a hobbit town? Q: Why did Frodo hang out a lot with Merry and Pippin who were several years younger than him?
