Q: In the Scouring of the Shire, why doesn't Sarauman make more of an effort to organize his troops

Simon CraseAfter Frodo et al return, there are two fights with Saruman's thugs, a skirmish and a battle. In neither case do the thugs have any effective leadership: the book remarks on the absence of anyone with any war experience (e.g. no scouts). Couldn't Saruman have tried? He must have known that Frodo ...

Q: Are there any series that could be called similar or as exciting as the Inheritance Cycle?

shirishI have been reading Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher Paolini. I am just amazed as the creation of the fantasy world and the way he has arranged things.

Q: Does tom and jerry die really?

CrimsonKn1ghtI have been watching tom & jerry since the early 2000's while growing up [mostly via TV]. But the very last episode was not aired or probably I couldn't understand what went down back then, so until recently I had no idea that the last episode showed Tom & Jerry's heartbreaks and possibly deaths?...

 
5:02 PM
@b_jonas Well, I could, except I've not read The Inheritance Cycle and so while I can recommend good books, I can't necessarily recommend good books like those.

Q: Is the forced labor prison in Andor human only?

TurboWhen Cassian Andor is sentenced to prison in Andor, the prison population seems pretty homogenous. Given the security measures (electrified floor) and the types of labor being performed, I can understand why they might want a singular species to be sentenced here. The security measures would work...

Q: Is C-3PO a cyborg?

Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SEAccording to the Star Wars script, C-3PO introduces himself: I am See-Threepio, human-cyborg relations. What does he mean, cyborg? Is he claiming to be one?

@Zaphod No, you people are all thinking too broadly. He only relates to human cyborgs; he can barely deal with fully-biological humans or non-human cyborgs.
