Dynasties have been started in this way...and far be it from me to point out that Robb Stark's downfall was started by almost this exact situation. :p

I must have a dirty mind because when I saw that scene the only thing I could think was how wrong it all looked.

I think Jackson did it on purpose as fodder for fan fic.

I just posted the other day in the Memorial thread that it had been awhile since you had been around.

Indubitably, however, if they are going to not have enough confidence in their own work or defer to the work of another artist as their setting, then they ought to treat the work of the other artist...

The critics have been far from universal in their admiration...

Given the fact that Jackson is using the title and name of another artist as his supposed topic, I don't think it is unreasonable to believe that his film should indeed reflect said story.

I did notice that Ostadan touched up the ending to his review so that it was rather at odds with the tone of his review as a whole.

Boots This is a Serious Post...yes, really
