Not sure how you do that without making the 'naming' stand out or repetitious (i.e. every time a new character appears, someone says his/her name). I understand your concern, though. Most hopefully will have at least skimmed the books to have an idea as to who's who.

Anyway, I positively adore the shot of Barad-dur at the start of this sequence. It takes my breath away every time. If I ever have a castle I want it to look as terrifying as that. I wonder how it looks on a sunny Spring morn, though.

Spring time in Mordor? All of the red torches replaced with bright bouquets? After the initial 5000 viewings, I started wondering how one maintains such a structure. How do the orcs at the top-most levels eat? How long does it take the supplies to get there? What about water? How is it heated/cooled, and what about air getting into the inside?
These and other questions would have to be answered before I'd consider buying the place.
