Ulmo - actually, in the FOTR EE there's a short night scene where you see Aragorn watching out for Gollum as he paddles his log, and he makes some short comment which makes it clear that he knows what it is.<P>Doug - I was just glad that they got "Cold be hand and heart and bone," in there, and actually didn't mind that Gollum got it. I guess this largely because it sounds rather like the beginning of a riddle, and of course he'd know a lot of those. I agree that it's a bit poetic for Gollum to make up, but as a scrappy memory from long-ago, it would work. (In fact, it never even occurred to me that the line was meant to be original dialogue for Gollum - though I'm probably biased by recognizing that it's a quote). <P>I liked the Galadriel scene a lot, though I'm biased in its favour by horrid memories of the Bakshi version of Galadriel's temptation, wherein she twirls around once, looking like Daphne from "Scooby-Doo", and chirps "I pass the test!" like she'd just gotten a B on her trig exam. Anything was an improvement over that. <P>Minor changes...hmmm. I like Mortensen as Aragorn a lot, but I wish he would enunciate just a little better. Next to all those bell-like voices from NZ and Australia, he sounds a little...off. And the hobbits should be a little fatter, at least in the beginning. For someone who eats 10 meals a day, Pippin looks remarkably undernourished. And I'd make Wormtongue get a hair-rinse - that dead black dye is a little too obvious Mark of the Beast.
