Steph, I really don't think your responses are very far from many others here. Greater and lesser tolerances for certain things, sure, and a keen awareness that there are pacing problems.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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".

I didn't have any pacing problems (but then I never viewed it as anything but the last third of one very long movie, which might explain that).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From E Online:
Since the PG-13 New Line release's record $34.1 million domestic debut Wednesday, the concluding adventure detailing the trials, tribulations and battles of Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gollum, et al., has earned $125 million. That's a five-day record for a movie opening on a Wednesday, beating the $105.6 million earned in May 1999 by Stars Wars: Episode I--The Phantom Menace.

Yep, Steph, I'm pretty much good with your points. Not actually going to shun or beat you (unless it's in the fun way...). You weren't so terribly blasphemous after all. Love your Sunnydale parallels, too.
*smooch*

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Denethor's a right fuck, ain't he?

He's not as much of a fuck (and there's backstory) as Legolas is pretty, though.

And that shot you were speaking of? Is it when he walks into Frodo's bedroom in Gondor ??
Cause. Yeah. Heheheheheh.

Hey Aims!!!!
What did you think? And what did you think of what Eowyn did? That's why she became such a big character for me.

Completely that shot. In fact, I thought I'd imagined it, until I saw it the second time, and then I realised I hadn't even remembered its full glory.
Where are the screencaps, dammit?
