431 Her Face Says Freedom

Huan knows that the days of the power of the cats are over; Alan and Sara aren’t entirely sure that’s still the case. Join The Man of the West and The Shieldmaiden of Rohan as Beren is freed from the Cat Condo of Terror and Lúthien’s face says freedom, as we continue our reading in The Tale of Tinúviel in Beren and Lúthien. Tinúviel misses home, Beren loves hanging out with dogs, and Melko ponders a terrible evil. We agree that wearing a giant dead cat is a bad Halloween costume idea, discover Tolkien’s origin story for cats, and wonder if pliers might have been a better choice. Also, always take down the mobs before you take down the boss.
