There are already two Athrabeth threads already ongoing in the ME section.

Only if you concede Val is God. Otherwise, it's just an analogy.

I'll go all the way up to "High King"... but not beyond that. So yes, it must be an analogy. Besides... they weren't really dead, just buried. Buried alive!? And actually, anyone who found them could have bumped them just the same.

Jeez (pardon the expression ) - can't a man post a joke in these parts anymore?!
Back to the movie. Remember, outside Moria, when Pippin throws the rock into the black pond? Is my recollection correct, this foggy (in more ways than one) Monday morning, that in the book it was Frodo who threw it?

Nope, it's Boromir.

Spend more time in the general forum and you might be able to keep up with the jokes.

I like him for things like that - why can't a man vent his anger on something when the oh-so-wise leader Gandalf spends an eternity trying to open a stupid door. As for Legolas, he was a sissy anyway.

*decides to give Sis the benefit of the doubt, figuring she can't possibly be referring to Tolkien's post-Lord of the Rings writings adding dimension and scope and beauty to the history of the Eldar* *sigh* Nope, I think she is doing that indeed. In which case, she has earned a bit:

*whispers*see, this is why you don't need me up here. I am so suspicious of the creation of 'history' here. I can talk about the structure of the LoTR. I can talk about mythology that relates to it. I can talk about character motivations. But I'm not a believer.
I live in a place with a great devotion to its history. I know how easily that stuff gets re-written, even irl.

But differing opinions are a good thing.

I agree. But I'm not in the business of hurting feelings for no reason, and that's where it would wind up.
I'm all about happy.

P.S. Even if it was to emphasize to Eomer (who we know was suspicious of Galadrial and her kin), "Here is an Elf but not to worry, he's not one of hers, Aragorn could still have said, 'Legolas, son of Thranduil of the Woodland Realm." So there must have been something else going on, e.g., were Legolas and Thranduil estranged?

Maybe it just got too much like the begats.
