Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

'Get It Done'


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.

That's the person on the RotKEE list that I was excited about!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Kate, that is really one of my favorite moments in the book. It's such a wonderful demonstration of how Sam has evolved throughout the story, but stayed true to his essential self. He recognizes the beauty and takes heart in the smallest of things, and remains, as Gandalf calls him in an early draft of RotK, "Hope Unquenchable."

I like that Legolas appears to have actual lines in the EE. I feel like he's had almost no real dialogue since TTT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Some of his dialogue, though, is a drinking game with Gimli.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I have to wait until Christmas Eve for the EE, although that won't stop me from renting it.

But they didn't show any of that in the trailer -- I was talking about what he is saying in the PotD. That was him, wasn't it?

They did show bits of the drinking game, but no lines from it.

I meant -- that there wasn't dialogue heard, I did see the dreaded drinking game snippet.

OTOH: Houses of Healing!!! Crowned king! Merry offering service to Theoden!
