dreamflowerOk, today on "Mark Reads", the chapter was "Shelob's Lair", and Mark was appropriately freaked-out about it!
But one of the commenters, "Icarus" said this:
Wait. If Sauron sends prisoners to Shelob to be "played with" and eaten, and Gollum was captured and tortured by Sauron...
... did Sauron send Gollum to Shelob to be eaten, and then Gollum:
a) was too stringy to interest her
b) promised her other, tastier meat
... and that's how he escaped Mordor?
Somebody PLEASE write that plotbunny! That is just too awesome an idea to go to waste!
