22 - FOTR Part 5: Flight to the Ford

"What's this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?"

Today it's just the OG's, and we're covering the Flight to the Fords sequence in 1:14:44-1:24:00 of The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition). Frodo's feeling a little woozy, so our favorite she-elf tries to take him on a quick horse ride to the nearest pharmacy when they are interrupted by nine Black Riders. This may be a short sequence, but there's a lot to unpack. Be sure to stick around for the Grey Havens. We made a discovery that fans of Tolkien (and Nickel Creek) are sure to enjoy.
