[The Saucepan Man]

Ah yes, she certainly looks scary enough in that picture. <P>And, much to my great relief, suitably spider-like too. There had been rumours that she would have a humanoid head, but this image puts paid to those (the blurry freeze-frames I had seen before were indistinct). Glad to see the fangs, rather than a mouth – <I>two</I> sets of fangs, in fact, by the look of it. But, are those supposed to be her eyes on the front of her head, or are they just the top of her fangs? If they are eyes, they make her look rather boss-eyed. And I would expect them to be further up on top of her head, and more of them.<P>No horns though, by the looks of it. So perhaps Jackson is going for spider "realism" at the expense of Book accuracy. Oh well, can't say I mind too much.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I think that Legolas could be talking about Sauron, right when Pippin is looking into the Palantir. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, Finwe. The same thought had occured to me. As I said ealrier in the thread:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Perhaps he says this at the same time as Pippin is looking into the Palantir, and it's a reaction to Sauron's "presence" in the Palantir. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It makes sense because the scene does look to take place at Edoras. He could be talking about the King of the Dead, but the mountains in the background suggest that this is not the Paths of the Dead and, in light of the other sequence of Legolas talking about the eye moving, I would guess that Legolas is talking about Sauron here too.
