Lack of respect displayed by Gimli - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That is one way to look at it Matthew.
Another way to look at it is that Gimli is a trained and hardened warrior who has been through it all before and knows that when battle and death face you nothing but survival means anything. If you have to climb up on a tomb to gain a tactical advantage, then so be it. Maybe that is some of the wisdom that comes with years of practical experience.

I agree with E&E that sitting on the chair is a bit tame.

And whatever one thinks of Denethor, even movie-Denethor, it was by that time Faramir's chair!

Poking fun at? You mean falling short of a laugh, right?
