<p>Discussion of <em>The Hobbit</em>, Chapter Six</p> <p>Join Maggie and Cam as they encounter snarling, red-eyed wolves and eagles who apparently speak English. This episode explores the limits and convenience of Tolkien's magic system. We also debate the ring's hold over Bilbo and continue to question Tolkien's relationship with environmentalism. Cam suggests that the eagles know about Bilbo's secret - and declares that all dogs are bears. </p> <p>Have an observation, comment, or theory on this episode?
