I am of the opinion that if Arwen really wanted to bring Aragorn a gift, she could have and would have done so. Nothing would have been able to prevent her from locating him, and taking the journey out there to grab a visit with her so-called true love. Especially in light of the fact of who she is, and what kind of experience in reconnaisance and self-defense skills that she had at her disposal. Her brothers, for instance. They would have helped their sister make the trip, if she absolutely would not have taken "no" for an answer from them. Bah. Arwen doesn't do it for me, too soft and not fierce enough with her alleged "love". She doesn't have me fooled.

I don't find any of the LOTR characters irritating.
I don't even find this thread irritating. |

Tom's Chapters gave the hobbits a chance to expand their horizons/knowledge of the world around them. The reader sees that the hobbits continue to move from the relative safety of their home into an outside world that is filled with more danger. The reader also sees that there are some people that are willing to be friendly to them (and some that are not so friendly) and even offer help on their journey. I do agree that the chapters involving Tom would be a good place to cut material, if one was planning on making a movie, without harming the general story of LOTR.

Tom Bombadil's constant amped-up prancing around and singing about everything in this super-animated creepy-guy-on-mushrooms routine DOES begin to grate on the nerves after a point. Like Rian says, I too am surprised Goldberry doesn't "haul back and smack him sometimes" !
However, I don't hate him. I would have liked to have seen the whole barrow-downs and Bombadil stuff in PJ's movie, oh well. I doubt any actor would have been able to get away with such a portrayal, anyway, except possibly Robin Williams. Can you imagine? It'd be the potential kiss of death to an average actor's career.

I dunno, I thought the fact that the Ring had no power over Bombadil was cool. Kinda shows why the Hobbits are so resistant to its affect. Bombadil had absolutely no desire for power. Therefore the ring had no basis on which to tempt him.
However, Gandalf's prediction that the Old Forest would probably be the last place to fall should the ring not be destroyed really shows just how powerful Bombadil is. _Who_ he is ... is a question of some import though (Personally, he reminds me of my father but that's neither here nor there ) |

Denethor's irritating. So is Theoden sometimes. Outside of LotR, I find both Feanor and Turin extremely annoying. I guess I just don't like tragic heroes.
