When the Fellowships in Lorien, my sister always says loudly(in our house) "they've all got blue eyes". I think it might have something to do with the lighting of Lorien.<P>But here's something which I think fits here <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> In the scene before the battle of Helm's Deep when Legolas is arguing with Aragorn, his eyes are brown, rather than blue. [In the book, elves' eyes turn brown when they are distressed. Since they are about to fight, it would make sense that Legolas' eyes are brown.] <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I read this and thought 'what! I don't remember reading that anywhere!' Does anyone know where this comes from? Personally I think Orli forgot his contacts.
