Glenethor has just left Hobbiton.

Not really. That was one way to play the scene, and that is what Jackson chose to do. Galadriel is not immune to the lure of the Ring, in both the book and the movie. We are seeing a High Elf in her Wrath, as she is 'on the other side.' That, coupled with the nature of the Ring, could cause those effects. I am only really disappointed that we didn't get to see her Ring. You can see it briefly as she waves good-bye to the Fellowship, but we see only the band on the palm side of her hand, and if you haven't read the book, you might think it was a wedding band, if you noticed it at all.<P>Besides, I've known women who's emotional stability makes Galadriel (in that scene) look relatively sane and serene...<BR> <P><I>running and ducking</I>
