Keyan Farlander Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Melkor did return, but he made a mistake and returned a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away where he again rose to power by getting himself elected Viceroy of the Trade Federation.
Taarkin Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 If they stopped to build a trebuchet, then Gandalf & Pals would have gotten back before the seige even began.
Admiral Odin Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Traditional Seiges lasted for months, which allowed the Engineers to build the trebuchet. The Seige at Helm Deep lasted only hours, hence they couldn't have built the very heavy stuff. However there were portable ones, that can be easily transported. Other than the boiling oil and artillery, there were many more things the defenders could have done. For instance: Creating Pitch fields right in front of the army. Then with all those archers light the fields and watch the orcs burn.
Nute Gunray Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Helm's Deep could have been much better prepared. I mean, it's not like that was the first time they used it either...

Nute Gunray Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 shhh! you'll reveal Mordor's one true weakness! and Keyan: I wish i was melkor. he had magic.
Keyan Farlander Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Originally posted by Andromeda i like my avvie she kinda looks like me a bit...i dunno if nute agrees with me or not but he's the only other one who's seen me You did post a picture of yourself once (sitting on a bed, sweatshirt, socks, I think) and I think it does look a bit like you.
Rogue15 Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 finally got to see the movie, would've seen it sooner if i didn't have to rely on my parents for a ride..... I thought it was a pretty cool movie. I especially liked those dragons, and the fight between gandalf and the balrog. helms deep was a rainy mess of awesome battles and death!!!!
Kylilin Posted January 21, 2003 Author Posted January 21, 2003 I actually overheard someone the other day when I went to lunch with my fiance trashing all of the Lord of the Rings books...I almost got up and dumped my soup on her lap.
Murtaugh Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 I can't wait untill the LOTR: TTT Special Extended edition DVD comes out!!!
