After many days on the road to Mordor, Frodo and Sam finally reach a crucial checkpoint on their journey to destroy the One Ring; Morannon, the Black Gate of Mordor. Striving to reach the mighty entrance to the land of Mordor, the hobbits come to realise on arrival that an alternative entrance to Mordor is vital to their success … and it turns out that Gollum knows of such a place.

Book IV, Chapter 3 – The Black Gate is Closed
‘The Black Gate is Closed’ sets in motion the hobbits journey towards Cirith Ungol, the home of Shelob, and also gives us a better idea of how the armies of Sauron assemble themselves in anticipation for his final assault on the forces of good in Middle-earth. Also the conflict in Gollum between Slinker and Stinker is once again a major presence as he becomes clearly torn between telling Frodo the truth and telling him lies. This weekend, join us for what should be a great debate as the countdown to The Two Towers continues!

The people that make the editing choices at ET should be sacked..and the people who hire them should be sacked…no more than 20 SECONDS of the entire TTT trailer (rumored to be more than 3 minutes) were aired…ahhh!!! Here is what you will see…sneeze and you’ll miss it.

Mehwish wrote in to say he’d noticed something cool – Wordpad has a font called Tolkien “… which is the same one they sometimes use in the books. … I found it in Wordpad next to Paint and NotePad but I believe you can find it in Word too.” Well, I don’t know about that, but if you have Wordpad, see if it’s true!
UPDATE: Nobody else seems to have found that font on Wordpad, but some good suggestions have come in for places to download it from including this one, thanks to Moriel: Fantasy Fonts
