I've had a careful think about this whole Arwen business and come to the conclusion that PJ did the right thing. Glorfindel appears twice in the novel - and that's counting his brief appearance in the Council of Elrond.

You have a very good point, Lobelia. I agree that introducing a character for one or two scenes only would be confusing to the audience members who have not read the books. However, just because the change was sensible, doesn't mean we have to like Arwen.

And she's just really obnoxious.
