Interesting to hear that, Shy, since I'm one of the many people who read the book before seeing the movies. FOTRrog was a bit disappointing, eh? They MORE than made up for that with TTTrog, though. They look so different! It's like that scene in Wayne's World where Wayne replaces the extra at the gas station because he's crap.

Bookrog (wow! cool name!) was much scarier. The anticipation was built up a lot better. And Legolas actually drops his arrow, he's so shocked. I think they'd be fun to go to a pub with, but would probably get into too many fights.
