Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

I can't even.

Hey, you can tell Legolas was thinking "30,000 of them, one of me. I can take them!"

Hee! The Fellowship could so take them, but they'd probably lose a hobbit or two, and it might be the wrong hobbit. Plus, a balrog is come. That's gonna cost you at least an elflord.

From Torn interview with Matt Lasorsa, New Line Home Entertainment’s senior vice president of marketing about RotKEE:

Q: What additional scenes were added?

A: Like The Two Towers extended version, the story of Faramir is shown in greater detail. There are returning characters and new characters, such as Saruman after the flooding of Isengard and the Mouth of Sauron at the Black Gate. Much of the new footage contains extra dialogue and action to further elaborate on each character’s personal journey.

What I would love to see is Legolas hearing the gulls. Yes, it would involve a bit of explanation of the sea-longing of the Elves, but it would be so worth it to give him a bit of character development.

Well, that does sound like something that would "further elaborate" Legolas' personal journey.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Q: What additional scenes were added?

I wanna see the "Scooby-Doo ending"!

"Let's find out who Sauron REALLY is!"

*gasp* "It's Radagast the Brown!"

"And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling hobbits!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What I would like to see, is Legolas hearing me, and then him leaving and remembering that he is Aimee-longing and he comes and gets me and takes me away.

That's how it shouldda ended.

Yeah, Radagast the Brown! Gandalf would still be stuck on top of that tower if it weren't for Radagast!

... and that's a Pantera's box you don't want to open. - Mister Furious

And then in ten years they can CGI in a younger, slimmer Radagast The Brown. And there can be the scene where Radagast shoots first.

Hee.

I love that fandom has taken to calling the moth "Radagast." Makes sense to me!
