And the "Who Is That?" part refers to....Aragorn?
No, it refers to Figwit himself. 'Cause he's so purty!

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".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

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.]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In book canon, is there any reason to believe Legolas actually would have met Aragorn or Arwen before the Council?'
Aragorn, decidedly yes. He was the one who delivered Gollum to Thranduil's house in Mirkwood, expecting teh green elves to keep him properly. That they fucked up in keeping him, and he escaped, is what Legolas is traveling to Rivendell to report. So, the'd probably met then, even if they hadn't in the previous 86 years.
So what's this I hear about Legolas' father having kept Gimli's father imprisoned at some point?
Hobbit business. Thranduil captured all the dwarves in The Hobbit, and they would be there still but for Bilbo and his magical-invisibility-ring. He stuff each dwarf into a barrel and floated them down the river to Dale, where they got out of the barrels and went off to annoy Smaug the Dragon.
It was a whole big (funny) thing, because dwarves don't take kindly to being in a barrel in a river. And it's why, when Bilbo is making up names for himself to Smaug, he calls himself Barrel-rider.

Another social casualty...

So, Gimli was conceived after The Hobbit, which make him younger than Bilbo? Huh. I don't know why, but I had always thought of Gimli, though young for a dwarf, still pretty old compared to the hobbits.
