This thread is way too long for me to catch up on, lol. However, today I finished reading this in Unfinished Tales, and if you've read that version the details are so much greater. I really enjoyed reading it again with more details present. I think pound for pound it is one of the best stories I've come across in the world of Tolkien. There are many that I love and many that are great, but I just can't help to feel so much for the characters involved in this tale. I think the story of Turin's life is top notch

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

I have to agree. If for no other story, this is the story that UT is worth reading for. So little is mentioned in The Sil compared to UT.

The Sil is great, but for details it is best to go to the other books, like UT. UT version of Túrin and Nienor rocks!

Well sorry . It's somewhat difficult to tell whether someone is being sarcastic or not when they are TYPING it!

I still maintain that you are nice. Hah! You said so yourself (stuff sarcasm) and I refuse to believe that any Tolkien fan could be so mean.

One special thing about a Turin and Nienor movie would be seeing little Lalaith.

I think Lalaith the Elf uses the word 'human' as an insult. That kills me

Yes, I do! But only because Linaewen has been a very cruel little person.

She dares to call me cruel? See what she does to others, such as poor Jonathan.

Thanks for the kind words. But you state that I'm human. And as I said before, you call the people you want to insult 'human'. So what you said could be considered mean
It's like saying "Oh what a nice little orc". That is more of an insult than a compliment.

EDIT: Isn't this discussion just a little off-topic?

Faramir is the best! It is no insult to be called him!
But, alas, she probably is insulting you.
Hey, Jonathan, I was nice to you to! (Erm.. at some point)
