[The Saucepan Man]

Nice links, HC. I had seen the report at TheOneRing, but not the other - which adds a lot more detail.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Orcs surrounding them? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>This concerned me too, Essex, when I first read it. But I remain firmly convinced that Elrond will deliver Anduril to Aragorn before he walks the Paths of the Dead. I seem to remember some previous reference to this tent scene taking place in Rohan. And it makes sense that Elrond reminds Aragorn of the prophecy concerning the Oathbreakers at the same time as handing over Anduril.<P>While the guy who gives this report is undoubtedly informative, he is clearly not exactly the most clued in on matters Tolkien. I would speculate that Elrond makes some general comment about the forces of Sauron moving on Minas Tirith (or Gondor, as he refers to it ) and he interpreted this as meaning that Aragron was facing an imminent attack on his tent. <P>Oh, and ...<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Theoden gives a rousing speech about the danger they're about to face, but then rides up and down the line, bopping his sword against the tips of the many lances in a salute of sorts before leading the charge down the hill to the orcs … It's a hell of a rousing speech and really gets you ready for "whatever" comes next. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Now, anyone still want to take that bet with me about who makes the speech featured in the trailer?
