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.
The Sting (The Office)
"The Sting" was directed by Randall Einhorn and written by Mindy Kaling, who also plays Kelly Kapoor in the show. It was the first episode to feature Timothy Olyphant in a guest appearance as Danny Cordray, a rival paper salesman. Olyphant would return for the season's Halloween special, "Costume Contest", and would appear in a deleted scene for Carell's penultimate episode, "Michael's Last Dundies". Olyphant enjoyed his stint on the show, later telling IGN that filming both "The Sting" and his scenes for other episodes was "a blast" and "a kick to do" because "The Office" is "such a fun show, the nature of the whole thing. The way they do it is just so fun and easy."
