<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> a guess on how long it would take the elves to get from Lorien to Helm's Deep <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>You could calculate all you like on a likely time (Unfinished Tales would be a help, where the marching of the Númenóreans is described in detail), but even if you did arrive at a viable answer, PJ wouldn't care. There isn't even a plausible explanation for Éomer riding north, or Faramir suddenly deciding to let Frodo go (without provisions). They certainly don't care about a minor detail like the timeline. You're wasting your valuable time, HC.<P>Ascahil may have been blunt or rude, but I think made a good point. Precision was left in the books. When the filmmakers decided to deviate so heavily from them, they left all such consideration for detail behind.
