Intriguing. The guy definitely looks like a hobbit, though I'm not so sure about his thoughtful look. Doesn't seem 'right' for me.

Lailath, that was perfect, I didn't see that quote before until Child's latest post. Poor Elijah. He takes so much flack from us fans....

And Lyta, I wouldn't worry about your images changing a lot. It happens. You see things in the characters you hadn't seen before. Every time I read the books, I see something different. Elijah's Frodo helped me see somethings I hadn't seen before. Frodo's innocence(though overplayed a bit in the movie) never came across to me before. I always thought he had a hand up since Bilbo had already shown him many things. Not that Frodo would not be suprised, but I see him more as being amused at first by Sam's, Merry's, and Pippin's expressions. Like when they first met the elves. I see Frodo sort of hanging back watching as S/M/P were seeing elves for the first time or even in Bree when they first saw Men. The characters are such multi-level that you meet something new, and you just add to the data-base so to speak.
