I, too, have never fallen under the popular swoon brought on by the Lady of the Golden Wood. By the late Third Age, the rulers of Lothlorien were a couple of ethnocentric isolationists. Celeborn, though called the Wise, seldom 'said' anything wisely. And Galadriel reveled in the thought of what she might do as the next Dark Lord, practically bragging about it to Sam and Frodo. Both sat back in Lorien fixated on the past, only venturing out when their soverignty was directly threatened.

This is a rather harsh treatment for two of the greatest Elves to remain in M.E. in the Third Age, but they seriously weren't living up to their potential.
