[the mortal elf]

I really only have two points of major complaint: The whole Faramir fiasco and Legolas's constantly changing eye color! Don't you think they could have picked it up by now?<P>I didn't really mind all the extra Aragorn/Arwen stuff. The deal with Arwen leaving made me cry. And I think it was reasonable for Elrond to want Arwen to leave, I mean, she's his daughter and he wants her to stay alive! It's not that hard a concept to grasp.<P>I agree, the elves at Helm's Deep were a bit much, but it added drama. (i.e. Haldir dying and me overflowing with tears)<P>I'm actually surprised about how calm I am considering the major changes from the books. Last year, I was nitpicking beyond reason, and this year, I'm laying back and letting others bicker (about most things). Have fun looking for more things to criticize
