I've just had a moment of horrid confusion. When some posters were referring to what "Legolas" had said, I thought that *Tolkien's* Legolas had been holding forth on the question of immortality somewhere in the canon. Then I realised it was BD's Legolas. All is now clear. Phew. Serves me right for speed-reading.
But one thing I wondered about. What other characteristics are definitely 'Elvish' rather than human, other than immortality and pointy ears? Did the half-eleven show any definite 'elvish' traits? Arwen definitely had elvish rather than human beauty, as did Dior. What of the others?
