While Gandalf and Aragorn ponder the evening\u2019s events and finally identify the object of Pippin\u2019s affections as the palant\xedr of Orthanc, a Nazg\xfbl flies overhead \u2014 which means it\u2019s time for Gandalf and the sticky-fingered Took to exit, stage east. And as Shadowfax carries them over the plains at breakneck speed (not that any necks will be broken, we hope) we bring Book III of The Lord of the Rings to a close. But before we wrap the fifth season, a mailbag question about the podcast and listener expectations gets Alan and Shawn into introspective mode.
