Ok, I admit I got Sheridan on my first try. FWIW, Jim, I chose both a philosophical debate and reading a book alone when I came up with Sheridan. I think the operative questions for his profile probably include not choosing to control an election, disagreeing that one has to do things onesself to get them done right, and preferring to free the guilty over imprisoning the innocent.

Seems to me that Gandalf ought to (a) believe in an afterlife, since he comes from Valinor, (b) have faith in a higher power, being as he is a servant of Illúvatar, and (c) favor not doing everything himself. That was an important plot point after all. But when I put in those answers, I keep getting Yoda. Which isn't that far off I suppose - Gandalf and Yoda are both Merlin analogues. As are Obi-Wan and Kosh, though the last has a rather different attitude. But I keep twiggling answers and getting Yoda but not the others. Guess I'd have to twiggle more than one or two answers at a time to go farther...

Seriously though, I got a 500 with an additional 404 to boot. I think Ernest broke it.
Now that would be cool... which bartender/sheriff are you?
Worf. And I don't even know who he is.

[[Jeroen]: dead elves do not go into the West
Mmmmm, I believe they do. Though I recall being rather uncertain about a lot of this when I read it; Tolkien was vague on many of these details a lot of the time, and may also have contradicted himself. But my understanding is: Elves can sail into the west while still alive. If they die before that, the spirit goes to the Halls of Mandos, located in western Valinor. This is true for both Men and Elves. Men then get sent on to some unknown fate, while Elves get new bodies and go out into the rest of Aman to hang with their homies.
Gandalf may not know details of what happens to men after they leave the Halls of Mandos, but I expect he'd still register as "pretty sure" on the concept of afterlife.
