Maril, thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. But oops, I think I was mixing Caritas and Agape into one very strong linguistic soup there. Didn't intend to. It does mean love as in compassion but I'd always used it as a shorthand as well for the sort of love that springs up from long comradeship (don't think Sam developed Agape until they were well into the Emyn Muil, but then neither did Frodo). If the definition is narrower though, thanks for correcting me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Don't want to go abusing the language there. I hope my points were still fairly clear.

Lush, hmm...at the risk of sounding dirty-minded the possibility had crossed my mind very briefly (mostly because, let's face it, when women are captured during the sort of scorched-earth campaigns that Orcs like to conduct, that sort of thing tends to happen). I couldn't really picture the Orcs as being much for that sort of thing, though. They seem like the types who'd get more excited over the jewelry she was wearing rather than over Celebrian herself.

Gimli, my bet would be that they would show him naked but how much, of course, is another question. If you go by the book Frodo is "lying on a heap of filthy rags" and he could easily be lying huddled on his stomach so that all you really see is his back and maybe an arm. That would pass muster with the censors, wouldn't it?
