[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Legolas is an elf - he can get away with it. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>So elves can pass their limbs through their bodies? Walking on snow, I can live with, but I still find physically impossible contortions a little bit difficult to accept, even in a fantasy world.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Anyway, the part in TTT at Helms Deep, when Gandalf comes with the rest of the rohirrim, the horses charge down that 89 degree hill... That bothered me so much. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>There is also the little issue of how the front line (Gandalf, Shadowfax, Eomer and all) didn't get implaed on all those pikes when they reached the bottom. <P>It does amuse me when people rail against Gandalf catching up Glamdring, but overlook the fact that he is able to perch quite happily on a being composed of molten flame (well, perhaps happily is not the word, but you know what I mean). <P>As HC said, he's a wizard (one of the Maia no less) and this is a fantasy world.
