In what Tolkien book does Sting make its first appearance?
Sting (Middle-earth)
Sting has the magical ability to detect orcs or goblins nearby, glowing blue in their presence, as it did when the Fellowship encountered orcs in the mines of Moria. Tolkien establishes this as a common property of First Age Elf blades, particularly those forged in Gondolin. Sting is also exceptionally sharp. Bilbo manages to thrust it without effort deep into a wooden beam at Rivendell. Frodo also wounds a troll in Moria, after Boromir notches his own sword with his attempt. Sam uses Sting to cut through the giant spider Shelob's strong webs with ease, and also wound the spider, driving it away from the paralyzed Frodo.
Victor Lundin
Lundin appeared in several 1960's science fiction and superhero television series, such as "Batman" as one of the Penguin's henchmen, and as Chief Standing Pat in separate episodes. In 1967, he appeared in the "" episode "Errand of Mercy", the first time that the Klingons made an appearance in the "Star Trek" franchise. Lundin portrayed the Klingon Lieutenant, and became the first Klingon to be seen on screen by virtue of walking into frame moments before John Colicos' Kor. Lundin had previously auditioned for the role of Spock, which wound up going to Leonard Nimoy instead. He also appeared in other series such as "The Time Tunnel" and later in his career in "Babylon 5". He was a regular at science fiction conventions, and continued to sing professionally, including making an appearance on a cruise in the early 2000s.
