"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh yeah, one other thing I want: Faramir waking up asking "What does the king command?" It only really has the proper impact if other Gondorians are in the room, and can gasp dramatically, but I'll be happy enough if --I expect they will -- work up a parallel between Boromir's death and Faramir's return-from-death, both with Strider attending.

Oh, and rewatching the end of the coronation scene, I'm remembering a post I saw on LiveJournal, in which someone said that she wants to make an icon of the four hobbit actors, standing on stage at the Oscars after RoTK wins best picture, with the caption "You bow to no one."
