Lord of the Rings Series -- Amazon

I’ll let the Tolkien people have their Tolkien feelings
It’s just not something I’m over concerned with

Gandalf, with all his power and aligned with many other powerful beings, needs to learn the lesson of friendship and other types of strength/power than might
We’re seeing the reason Gandalf tries out the ridiculous idea to have a lowly hobbit bear the ring of power

I'm not a Tolkien scholar, but I did think was odd that Gandalf finds out Sauromon is looking to rule Middle Earth at this point but remains friends with him and trusts him in the Lord of the Rings.
