Qu'est-ce que c'est?
- Merry is the Fellowship of the Ring's best connection to the outside world.
This seems weird and strange to me. Anyone care to explain? Graft
Je ne sais pas. Pour cette raison, je n'ai pas l'include quand j'ai change le texte. (I don't know. For this reason, I didn't include it when I changed the text) Parelle
An anonymous user keeps adding some version of the following:
- Merry has yellow hair which is unusual for a hobbit) and blue-green eyes.
Can any references be cited for this? I don't recall it, and no one else here seems to either, except for one user. Please offer supporting quotations. Jwrosenzweig 20:28, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- According to the book, his hair colour is brown. Thick, curly, brown hair. From TTT:
- 'May I lay the sword of Meriadoc of the Shire on your lap, Théoden King?' He cried. 'Recieve my service, if you will!'
- 'Gladly will I take it,' said the king; and laying his long old hands upon the brown hair of the hobbit, he blessed him. 'Rise now, Meriadoc, esquire of Rohan of the household of Meduseld!' he said."
- Emphasis mine. As for his eyes, nothing comes to mind, but I’ll look for a quote. Jor 22:06, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Good to know - I knew about the Pippin reference (which is golden hair) but I hadn't heard of any description of Merry. Perhaps this is a movie lover.Parelle

I've removed the reference to Merry helping to open the doors. In the book Gandalf figures it out almost completely on his own, and in the film Frodo has the insight. Merry only asks a question. Djbrianuk 22:20, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
True, but Gandalf himself then points out that Merry's line of thinking was on track the first time, and in the cast commentary Dom points out that he has received a lot of fan mail denouncing the change to having Frodo figure out the riddle instead of Merry, a fact of which Dom is very proud.
