<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I am listening to TTT now as I post, and had too say every five or so minutes to my Tolkien illiterate wife 'this is a fabrication', that didn't happen', etc.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm afraid that happens in my house all to often. After my sister & mom saw it for the first time, evey time afterwards they're like, 'that doesn't seem like something that fits well with Tolkien' & I say 'well...it wasn't actually in the books'. They both hated Faramir so I had to tell them it was different in the books, Merry & Pippin's introduction to Gandalf was different in the books (& I must say I'd rather have seen Pippin get ripped by Gandalf again in front of the gates of Isengard. I like Pippin, but I just can't help it ), etc. So I have to say that a lot too...
