Yeah, that whole entering Lórien scene was a bit flawed in my opinion. The extended version just confused the picture even more, and maybe they should have quite while they were ahead, and left it as it was in the original.<P>The thing that really gets me is the timeline of it. After the Fellowship leave Moria, Aragorn says that by nightfall the hills would be swarming with Orcs. After a bit of travelling, he sees Lórien at a distance. Then later, they are shown running in, and seem to have covered a good 10 km or so, as well as the descent from the Eastgate in just a few minutes. <P>Then Haldir shows up and refuses to let Aragorn out of his sight (come on, we all know the <I>real</I> reason he followed Viggo to Helm's Deep). They have a little conversation, start travelling on until nightfall, and then start talking again. Why did they not sort it out then and there? If Haldir doesn't want dwarfy boy in the Golden Wood, why bring him on a 6 hour journey deeper in?? I don't get it.
