LadyElbereth--<P>My brother has cleared up the Faramir problem for all of us. According to him, it's not really Faramir in Ithilien. Oh no, my friends. It's his slightly-insane younger brother Hurumir, trying to get his fifteen minutes of fame. Always a bit the black sheep of the family, Hurumir--gets a lot of his mentality from his father. They try to keep him inside, but he got away this one time, and stuffed Faramir into the closet...sad, sad story, that.<P>As for annoying characters, I'll have to go with Tigerlily and say that blasted orc. Besides the fact that he wants to eat Merry and Pippin ( ), his voice really aggravated me. Aiee! Other than that, I found Saruman a little irritating. Can he EVER say anything that isn't intoned?? I mean, I did like him, but it was like everything he said was a proclamation of doom. (Okay, so it was. But he didn't have to make it sound like that. He could've used more than one tone of voice.)<P>Frodo was a little grating after a while, but overall I loved Elijah Wood's performance so much that I'm willing to let go of the few moments when his slow, tormented voice got old. (Ai, can you imagine the Return of the King? It'll be a thousand times worse!)<P>~*~Orual~*~
