He sits beside Aragorn at the Council of Rivendell.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And the "Who Is That?" part refers to....Aragorn?
No, it refers to Figwit himself. 'Cause he's so purty!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, I get it! I thought "Frodo is great....who is THAT?" was what Figwit was thinking. But no -- it's what we, the viewers, are thinking. I get it.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I have a couple of questions for those who know the books better than I (answer and enable my laziness!):
- In book canon, is there any reason to believe Legolas actually would have met Aragorn or Arwen before the Council?'
- So what's this I hear about Legolas' father having kept Gimli's father imprisoned at some point?

Just based on the ages of the character's -- Arwen was born in the first millenium of the third age, Legolas -- we don't know when he was born but I'm guessing after the elves come back from Valinor given that he hadn't seen the sea before RotK and Aragorn being 87 and much travelled - - you could imagine that Legolas and Arwen had met in Rivendell and that Aragorn met Legolas when he brought Gollum to Mirkwood (if not sooner).

Gimli's father, Gloin, was one of the thirteen dwarves in The Hobbit who were taken prisoner by the King of the Wood Elves, who is Legolas' dad.
[Which means, ironically, that Gimli has the Ring to thank for his existance, since without it, Bilbo wouldn't have been able to get the dwarves out of prison.]
