If you want a <I>real</I> example of dumbing down, then read up: I think the worst 'dumbing' line in TTT is Aragorn's to Legolas, "Legolas! What do your elf eyes see?" It's like PJ wanted to make sure the audience still remembered that Legolas is an elf, & consiquently has elf eyes. What's so wrong with, "What do you see?"
