LOL you know I stared at the picture for almost a minute before I noticed it was different? Just goes to show all my attention went to Thranduil anyway, I didn't even notice the two Elves in the background Although Leggy isn't easily dismissed

It almost looks like a wine glass but the further the gif goes it appears there is nothing there. Confusing but no matter he looks gorgeous holding whatever

An interview, preferably in vid format, where the two are talking about their roles and working with each other, just cos. All the BTS of them together seemed so FUN. Definitely. It seemed like they really had fun together BTS. It would be nice to bring that fun to an interview where they could be in the same room for once instead of having to only talk about each other in separate interviews.

But this wasn't a new picture, was it? It's an edit of LP standing next to PJ right (or did I miss something)? Still lovely though

Thanks VValar! I loves me my Leggy. P.S. I see the thread has been tipped. We'll have to be on the lookout for incoming Mod any minute now!

... a Middle Earth reality show of 'The Bachelor'. Or 'Princeling Wants a Wife'. (here in Australia, we have 'Farmer wants a wife')
Middle Earth reality show where you can date an eligible elven Princeling? I volunteer as tribute!

Good ones! That BTS gif reminds me of this BTS pic I saw on Twitter sometime before DOS had even come out on DVD and it looked like it was a pic from when OB was rehearsing his one-on-one fight with Bolg in Laketown. Of course I can't find it anymore to save my life, but apparently, OB had lost his balance and fallen right smack on top of the guy who was playing Bolg and they couldn't get up, LOL! The person who had posted it was saying that they wished they could be the orc just for the sake of being that close to Leggy. I sure wish that pic would resurface somewhere. It seems to have disappeared into oblivion!

Definitely because of the Ring of Power (Movie SPOILER)
[In reply to]

It's something that I need to figure out too. Though I can't say for sure, I thought I read something that points to Galadriel being a Ring of Power bearer, and thus a match for the particular Minions (a gaggle of Nazgul I believe) who was occupying Dol Guldor for Sauron . The members of The White Council had to be the ones to clean out Dol Goldur because of the power of the enemies who lived there. As good of a warrior as Thranduil and his people were, they were no match for the Necromance and the Nazgul. Along with the members of the White Council being very powerful to begin with, three of them bore Rings of Power: By the time of The Hobbit Galadriel bore Nenya the ring of water, Elrond bore Vilya the ring of air, and Gandalf bore Narya, the ring of fire. (sorry about that last link. I couldn't help it.) Although all elves apparently have some sort of inherent "special" abilities, my understanding is that the three elven Rings of Power amplified the abilities of the wearer along with giving them power to heal and preserve things. While Sauron had the One Ring, the elven ring bearers were unable to use their rings lest Sauron find them and corrupt them like he did with the 9 kings of Men who became the Nazgul. However, after The One was lost after the LA, the elven and one wizard ring bearers were able to use their rings openly again. hence the reason Rivendell and Lothlorien were able to remain unblemished for so long. Gandalf's ring also gave him the ability to inspire hope and courage, which we know he did frequently. IMO, all of this power amplification by the Rings of Power is the reason why Thranduil couldn't clean out Dol Guldur even though it was in his backyard, but the White Council could. [SPOILER ALERT] In addition to the powers I mentioned above, elven rings could be turned invisible so that no one except the other ring bearers knew to whom the rings belonged. This is why you don't see any of the rings on Elrond's, Galadriel's or Gandalf's fingers during the majority of the movies except for when the three of them leave for the Grey Havens in ROTK and when Galadriel showed Nenya to Frodo in FOTR. However, as TORn staffers Cliff and Justin noticed during the TORn Tuesday main BotFA trailer frame-by-frame analysis we apparently be able to see all three of them wearing the rings when the White Council attacks Dol Guldur. IIRC the theory was that they White Council really don't need to hide the rings during the attack. They just needed to use them to kick Sauron's and the Nazgul's butts. [END SPOILER]

I just did a long post and copied and pasted it into a Word doc because I was sure I'd get post death if I didn't. It posted just fine though. I wonder how many more I can sneak in? *sneak, sneak*

I love the detail on that thing. IIRC, in the Cloaks and Daggers book, they said that that's amber in the top of the staff. They put amber in lots of different places around Thranduil's halls, including having streaks of it inlaid in some of the tables, in order to be symbolic of how his kingdom is sort of frozen in time because of his policies.

Ooooh. Not sure how I feel about that one. He kinda looks like a sleazy street magician or something.

Nice pics, VValar! I don't think I've seen such HR versions of those before! ... Oh, almighty Modar, where art thou? *looks around* *shrugs* I think I'm gonna have to go work on my knitting until we get threadlock. My eyes are starting to get computer-screen fatigue.

For the moment, at least! What's this - I have to head off for a couple of hours, and you all start getting "tipsy" with this thread! Alright, Thralls, prepare for: TA XXVI!
