My friend Shona pulled off the amazing trick of skipping the FotR movie and sat through TTT with me having to explain everything. "Is he good or bad?" and the like. Lol. She got it though. Granted, she called Saruman "Sour-man" and when Theoden was talking of his forebears, she took it literally, and said loudly, in the middle of my group of devout Tolkienites "Sure look at all those graves! He must have a lot more than four bears!" <BR><p><BR>It seems really weird, but I hope they keep Ioreth in RotK. She's the only new character that struck me in that book, though her role is terribly small.
