I don't know . . . I'm not sure I would be very happy if I had been chosen to go on the Fellowship. I'm the kind of girl who'd rather stay at home, curled up by the fire reading a good book. Adventures are nice to read about, but not nice to live through <P>But I think the seriousness is fitting- after all, they didn't have much to laugh about. In my opinion, Gimli added enough cheerfulness to the movie, though I would have liked Merry and Pippin to be a little more cheerful, as they're usually the pranksters.
