Maybe we should discuss that in another thread though.<P>Back on the Haldir thing, someone mentioned they liked Aragorn hugging him, which made me re-think it. It was supposed to be funny how Haldir didn't want to hug him, like "oh, you filthy human, I just polished my armour!" - but why of all peoples would an Elf not want a hug? Is that not grossly out of character for their entire race? Why should Gimli be so soppy when an Elf won't even hug Elessar? PJs artistic licence should be revoked.
