Oops.
Also, once Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas get to Pellenor, did you notice the shot of Legolas shooting arrows -- but where they forgot to cgi the arrows in ?
I do love how Aragorn and Gimli come by and kill Gothmog, incidentally saving Eowyn.

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".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I always figured that b) Shelob stung lower than the vest and I know that c) he doesn't have all his fingers -- look again -- only three reach the top of the book. The index finger falls short.
Nutty, why is Aragorn lying in that speech? I'd thought it apparent that Sauron didn't have the ring, because then his army wouldn't actually be massing to fight. It wouldn't have to. So things weren't over.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jars, I'm pretty sure 2) has an explanation, but 3) is a continuity error.
eta: apparently not a continuity error.

Finger missing. Haven't found one of the shot over his shoulder.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
How come Frodo has a full set of fingers as he's writing his book in the Shire?
He doesn't, actually. I noticed particularly that his index finger was shorter than the rest.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Jars, for 2) How did Shelob sting Frodo if he was wearing his mithril vest? I believe the vest was v-shaped and Shelob stung him where the metal did not cover his chest.
Also, once Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas get to Pellenor, did you notice the shot of Legolas shooting arrows -- but where they forgot to cgi the arrows in ?
I actually looked frame-by-frame at this, and I thought that they did CGI the arrows in, but since Legolas was shooting them so fast it's hard to tell that they're actually there.

No, otherwise we'd see them when Frodo's shirtless in the orc's tower. But we see no fresh wounds then, so it must have been below the belt, where the vest wasn't covering.

Okay, beathen -- I shall try that.
I think that we had a discussion about the Black Gates and the plain in front of them and the mountains to the side of them.
Frodo and Sam came through the Dead Marshes -- but if you look at the map you can see that there is a plain directly in front of the gates -- and that there are in fact, mountains if you cut straight from Emyn Muil to the Gates.
(BTW, in TTT, if Legolas had said that the orcs were turning Northeasterly insted of saying Northeast -- would he have been less wrong?)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
BTW, in TTT, if Legolas had said that the orcs were turning Northeasterly insted of saying Northeast -- would he have been less wrong?
No, because they still would've been heading the wrong way.

Oh well. No way to go around it Peter, Fran and Phillippa made a big error and never caught it.
