1. erebor -- wow ! 2. thorin -- wow (!) 3. dwalin -- wow (!) 4. balin -- wow (!) 5. fili and kili (wow wow !!) 6. thorin entering bag end -- wow (!!!) 7. rivendell -- always... wow. 8. the splendid vistas of middle earth as the company leaves rivendell -- WOW 9. stone giants -- in +awe+. 10. the arkenstone!!!!! WOW!!! so beautiful!! it not only has light within it, but it seems to flow out like a colorful mist. WOW!!! all the company gets a wow. i am so grateful that pj and co fleshed them out as individuals. even though i would have liked to have seen each member get more individual moments, in comparison to the book, these are gutenberg-sized biographies. erebor -- so much thought paid to the culture, the architecture... the diaspora... well done. and, like brethil (who put it quite, quite nicely) erebor was an unveiling. the splendor, the space, the color. the arkenstone.... it looked alive, so beautiful. cheers -- .
aka. fili orc-enshield +++++++++++++++++++ the scene, as i understand it, is exceptionally well-written. fili (in sort of a callback to the scene with the eagles), calls out "thorRIIIIIIN!!!" just as he sees the pale orc veer in for the kill. he picks up the severed arm of an orc which is lying on the ground, swings it up in desperation, effectively blocking the pale orc's blow. and thus, forever after, fili is known as "fili orc-enshield." this earns him deep respect from his hard-to-please uncle. as well as a hug. kili wipes his boots on the pale orc's glory box. -- maciliel
