' Except that Arwen was in Lothlorien that whole time, and they didn't even meet until Aragorn was 20. Besides, that would just be too weird' Exactly, UNcanonical.<P>I think sir Ian is a toss up. <BR>If they could fim it now, I would say maybe, but what we have ibn FotR is what, 4 years old now? <BR>But of course if it is not filmed very soon [could it really start any sooner than 4 years? I think that is a best case scenario] Sir Ian will be really getting on. I liked him well enough, and there is much to be said for continuity, but I just do not see it in the cards. As for a talking dragon, the precedent in M-E was set ages before with Glaurung. Smaug must speak!
