I thought John Rhys Davies did one of the greatest performances in the movies as Gimli. I thought MOST of the humor was good and necessary and seemed to fit. I realize many of you disagree, but... |

The attack on crickhollow was the first time I REALLY got excited, when I read it for the first time. The rise of the hobbits stunned me. I also really love the "tom-taps" in MOria. |

I was totally cheesed out by Dwimorberg and Aragorn's little sword fight with the King of the Dead. Whenever, at the end of the ROTK, Frodo sort of rubs his shoulder with a faint smile on his... |

There are so many. The Eol and Aredhel tale always sticks in my mind. Something very primal in that story. AS does, for some reason, Brandir randomly slaying some guy in the woods in his grief. |

I found that interesting, too. I can only assume that, unlike the "pure' Manwe, Ulmo and Tulkas are more acquainted with the their own dark sides and urge. I also found it interesting that Finwë... |

I think FOTR and ROTK are about equal in my book. I think I'd put ROTK as a tad bit higher--though the FOTK preserves somehow the "feel" of the book to me a little better. Part of the reason for... |

Well, I guess I'm going to have to beg to differ. I think it was more than politics; it was an evil that no one else could have averted but Gandalf. Since there was no one else to save him, Gandalf... |

Then why would Eru punish them at all? Why should he protect the rest of the world from Numenor? Why would he care if men picked a fight with the Valar? |
