Well, very interesting to hear about where Legolas got his knives from. Interesting, because in the book Legolas has a knife, singular, not knives plural. I don't mean to be rude, however. I worry constantly myself about how the movies have warped my memory of real (by which I mean book) events.

Which is why I'm re-reading it. Legolas and Gimli are said to be willing to accompany the Ringbearer,

at least as far as the passes of the mountains
I think that the fact their homes were not in Rivendell was a major factor. They were going the long way home so as to accompany Frodo, but eventually decided to stick with the Fellowship the entire way. I think somewhere Lebennin, Legolas probably remembered that his dad was waiting at home for some message from Rivendell... doh! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
