It has everything to do with Kiligolas not looking anything like a dwarf (note the discussion above where people couldn't figure out whether he was a ranger or a cameraman who wandered into shot or whatever) and overall he just looks like a pretty boy Ranger...ergo Kiligolas. I would have called him "Kiligorn" but I thought that sounded weird.

Well seeing as you particularly like Dwarves, I can see I can't get round you
But for me, my particular 'thing' is Hobbits, and this is one race that Jackson gets consistently right in my eyes, so it tends to forgive him a host of sins. I've seen endless
completely awful representations of Hobbits (the Hildegard Brothers and Ted Nasmith* being prominent offenders) so when I saw what Jackson had done with them I was delighted.
*I just want to take their paintbrushes away and tell them "Look, if you have an urge to paint pictures of stunted, twisted little people, then why don't you go and specialise in illustrating George RR Martin novels, I'm sure they could do with another picture of Tyrion Lannister". Grrr.
So...hmmm...yes....given my feelings on that then I can see why they don't make the grade for you!
