Except for my two favorite orcs, Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern
(that is,
Gorbag and
Shagrat )
Granted, those two did have issues.
The most interesting bit with Turin was the question of free will.
It seems to me somewhat ambiguous in the story versions (Probably leaning
toward a form of Morgoth dominance of the issue vis-a-vis Hurin
and his kids).
Of course Gimli did win the competition with Leggy. Picture Stephen Colbert
leading The Nation in chants of "We did it!" with balloons falling down.
So
+ + Gimli son of Gloin . Oh, and Gimli's father, while
initially dismissive of Bilbo at The Unexpected Party, was quite
polite to Bilbo's nephew.
