I must concur that it's time to knock down a sacred cow, in this case literally so ( ).

+ + GALADRIEL

After all, she treated her husband appallingly, the poor fellow.

Furthermore, she stifled the realm of Lorien and all who dwelt within it with her obsession with preserving it and trying to turn it in to some kind of Valinor on Middle-earth. If she wanted to live in Valinor she should have stayed there. But no. She wanted to rule her own realm, which she could not do in Valinor. That hardly shows humility, now, does it?

And her efforts to "embalm" Lorien were totally contrary to the natural order of things, which requires change, via the cycle of life, to renew and referesh. All she achieved was to stifle and stultify.

Given half a chance, she will no doubt try to do the same with the Survivor Island. She must be stopped!
