I just thought of that the other day! I mean two sniveling traitors named 
Worm-something? Could that be a coincidence? :P  Of course, Wormtongue 
didn't actually kill the old king, he just nearly ruined the kingdom -- 
unlike Wormtail, who did cause James' death. Are there any other 
similarities? I guess we might not know enough of the story yet. But both 
were spies for their evil lords for quite a while.

I don't know if he'll be the downfall, but it sure is fun to compare, isn't 
it?  And it feeds my two current movie obsessions as well! ;D

(9 months left to LOTR.... Whee!)
