Poooooor Smeeeeeagol!
I know it's verring off topic, but I HAD to pop in and say YES Smeagol/Gollum was amazing in Two Towers, Khat! I felt soooo sorry for the little bugger, it was an amazing rendition.
I had never considered Smeagol and O'Gnome in the same context before. What I love about this study group is being able to compare thoughts and find new layers to these cards, together.
I would recommend to anyone, though, when pulling your Least comfortable card, take a moment to find it again (about a week or 2 later) or just a while later after you've had a chance to think on it. You mind find a slightly different face -- at least, I did.
And, a very thoughtful commentary on the Death card, genna. This card did the strangest thing in my deck. When I first got the deck, I was sorting through the cards and putting them into various piles, and one was for "female" cards.
I thought I set Death in the Neutral gender pile. My husband picked up the Female pile, and started going through them too. He pulled out the Death card and asked me why I thought it was Female?
"I didn't," I replied. "I put it over there," and pointed to the Neutral pile (like singers, etc).
We just kinda looked at each other and laughed. I knew Death was an interesting card then, and that this deck would hold some surprises for me as well.
