Sorry to jump back to the start, but Elianna, i own the extended (4) DVD of both TT and FOTR, yet i cannot find anywhere the scene you describe of Gil-Galad's demise... not through lack of looking either, dosen't sound like something i'd miss!

Anyways... You guys talk about the ones actually describe, but i actually IMAGINE all my characters that die, dying in such splendour, really adds some pep to otherwise boring parts like; and <insert minor, soon-to-be-dead character here> met his fall at the hands of many orcs...

Always interesting to imagine just HOW <insert minor, soon-to-be-dead character here> met his demise at the hands of many orcs!

Most of the most interesting deaths handed to us seem to have already been discussed, so i won't go back into them much, except to say that Anarion's always seems rather comical to me, when i see it in my mind's eye; a tall, valiant-looking bloke, standing around a campfire under baradur, looking preoccupied, suddenly he looks up and a boulder is hurtling down upon him and in true warner brothers form, lands on his head, causing the man to completely dissapear into a gondorian-shaped hole!

Then, you think again, and his mithril helm is split, his brain spills out, and his neck is broken in three places; take your pick!!

<not another Osse-rave that adds little to the discussion, no, not at ALL!>
