Galadriel didn't tell Elrond and others about Halbrand (Sauron) in The Rings of Power due to a mix of shame, her own struggle with temptation, pride in being deceived, fear of consequences (banishment), and a desire to try and redeem or use him herself before exposing him, ultimately playing into Sauron's manipulation. She was deeply affected by his deception and initially kept it secret as she grappled with admitting her own failure and Sauron's cunning, a nuance different from some book interpretations where she mistrusted him more readily.
Why was Sauron afraid of Aragorn potentially possessing the Ring? Gandalf explains it in the Return of the King (during the council after the battle of the Pelennor fields) that Sauron would never think somebody would want to destroy the One Ring.
Sauron never loved Galadriel. He wanted to possess and use her for his own purposes.
They specifically chose to not have her tell anyone, Elrond knows by the discovery of the scroll that Halbrand was not as he seems, but he has no reason to jump from that to "He's totally Sauron". Remember, only Galadriel thought he still existed.
They rejected it because even if he could momentarily contain the Ring, he would not be trusted to bear it into Mordor or to understand the strategic necessity of destroying it. He would not keep it secret nor use it in ways that advance the mission.
It's possible that Gollum's prolonged search for the ring allowed it to maintain a significant power over him, suspending his aging process. In contrast, Bilbo's exposure to the ring's influence waned after he willingly (mostly) relinquished it, allowing his aging to resume more noticeably.
By lingering behind, she chose mortality so she could rejoin him. She died a year after him of heartbreak if I recall correctly. She chose a mortal life to be with Aragorn, as such she could no longer travel to or set foot upon Valinor. Gimli, Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam were the only mortals ever granted passage to Valinor.
He is a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm and son of its king, Thranduil, becoming one of the nine members of the Fellowship who set out to destroy the One Ring. Though Dwarves and Elves are traditionally rivals, he and the Dwarf Gimli form a close friendship during their travels together.
Isildur took up the hilt-shard of Narsil, Elendil's sword, and cut the One Ring from the hand of Sauron. Despite the urging of Elrond and Círdan, Gil-galad's lieutenants, Isildur did not throw the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom.
In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Isildur is shown to have become a Nazgûl after his death at the Gladden Fields, when Sauron places one of the Nine rings on his finger, which resurrects him.
The relationship between Gandalf and Galadriel in Tolkien's world was based on deep respect, friendship, and spiritual connection, though there are no indications of a romantic relationship in the books or films.
Just like it had happened with their parents (also Half- Elves), they were given a choice to choose the life of an Elf or the life of a Human. Elrond chose the immortality of Elves, and his brother chose the Humans, the first one to do so. He lived 500 years, which is not too shabby.
Sauron is implied to have a genuine moment of doubt after the War of Wrath. He expressed remorse for what he did, but refused to submit for punishment and fled.
Elrond chose the fate of the Elves and therefore the choice was presented to his children. The reason why Eldarion and his sisters (the children of Aragorn and Arwen) were born mortal was because Arwen chose mortality and therefore that fate was passed on to the rest of their line.
As a Maia, Gandalf was an angelic being in human form, in service to the Creator (Eru Ilúvatar) and the Creator's 'Secret Fire'. He took on the specific form of an old man as a sign of his humility. His role was to advise but never to attempt to match Sauron's strength.
Sauron needed Gandalf out of the picture permanently, as he was the only enemy with the knowledge, leadership and determination to thwart him. His biggest mistake was ego. He succeeded by trickery, by his ability to deceive others. He conquered so much land that his ability to control became out of reach .
If Gandalf had stayed dead after his sacrifice in The Fellowship of the Ring, then his demise would be the saddest in the trilogy, but since he came back, the saddest single death scene of all three movies goes to Boromir's.
Could he carry the ring for a short time? Yes. But like all other elves his good intentions would be twisted and corrupted by the ring's influence, and he would not want to be parted from it.
A group of UCL medical students, led by Dr. Liz Sampson, concludes that Gollum was actually suffering from schizoid personality disorder.
Because the name Aragorn son of Arathorn and Gimli son of Gloin wouldn't necessarily mean anything to them. Thranduil is a King and his name is known to them. At the time, they were unsure if Rohan had fallen under the shadow so he did not name who Leogolas' father was otherwise the would capture him for ransom.
One of the things I like most and am proud of in this world is that Viggo Mortensen was offered to play Aragorn again in The Hobbit trilogy, but he declined because he said Aragorn did not appear in the book.
In Appendix B of The Lord of the Rings Tolkien states that Thranduil was one of the Sindar who migrated eastward early in the Second Age and established kingdoms among the Silvan Elves.
Tolkien's description of Gollum conforms to a Catholic – and Thomistic – account of envy, which is a “sadness of the soul”; and it is Gollum's unbearable sadness and his unquenchable desire for the one Ring that marks his character.
"In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory".
